In contrast to other Herring Creek Farm properties the firm designed—which take the Gilded Age as inspiration—this house channels the sort of farmhouse that would have stood here. That’s appropriate, since its proprietors are the family that owned the original 210-acre plot of agrarian land prior to World War II. They sold the land off in pieces, saving this particular parcel for themselves. They wanted to create a farmstead that appeared like it had expanded over the years, with one of its wings conceived as a once-separate barn subsequently attached and turned into livable space.
