This striking home appears to float above the rolling landscape. The black-stained foundation accentuates and grounds the house. The clear cedar siding has a single layer of Cabots clear silicone sealer applied.

The garage is accessed from the road and the small concrete stair leads to the main entry of the home. We included a covered parking area for the family's car as well as a modestly sized single car garage.
