Austin Patterson Disston Architects American Classic
Description
Located on a 4-acre waterfront parcel that was once a part of the larger estate of coal baron William C. Atwater (see our “ Reviving an Iconic Henry Bacon House from 1903 ” under Renovations), this new classic American home was designed to provide a relaxed yet elegant retreat that would stand the test of time and suit the needs of a large and active family. A deliberate balance of open floor plan and discrete spaces, classic details, and durable yet elegant materials are combined to create a welcoming, timeless feeling. Multiple screen porches allow for outdoor living conditions against the backdrop of the bay. The grounds consist of a waterside pool as well as a circa 1902 boathouse from the original estate that has been restored and repurposed into a large but cozy pool house.
