SERENITY NOW

Fall Foliage

An existing fountain was relocated from the pool area to the front entry. Here, a limestone patio was added to shape a new courtyard defined by a hedge of boxwood beauty.

MOUNTAIN MAJESTY

“We wanted to see how things changed during the year. In wintertime, it’s pure hot white all around you. In the fall, there’s bright yellow everywhere, and in the spring and summer, there’s the most beautiful green.” The surrounding environment is especially prominent, given the home’s remote siting. “The house is the last one on a road that dead-ends into a mountain where a mine used to be,” interior designer Brandon Quattrone says. “You can’t go any farther.” (Tour the home)
