Vintage leather chairs, plush velvet curtains and iron accent, like the oversize chandelier, enhance a snug sitting area near a fieldstone fireplace in the great room.

A pretty walk-in pantry, with open shelving and quaint skirt-covered storage, leads t an outdoor grilling patio. 

A farm table, eclectic seating and vanishing steel-and-glass doors make the kitchen fell open and fresh, echoing the constant play between textures throughout the house.

The cosy sitting room, with natural tones and interesting textures beckons with laid-back luxury; draperies in a Clarence House fabric add a light, feminine touch.

The spectacular mountain view from the outdoor porch is framed by traditional Chippendale railings made of twigs, the architect´s tongue-in-cheek play on the mountain motif.

This D. Stanley Dixon - designed New England Colonial-style cottage features hallmarks such as wood panelling, wood shingles and classic dormers, but the architect imbued a North Carolina aesthetic with fieldstone chimneys, a copper awning and dark exterior paint.
