Mystic Lake Overlook
"Before we retained Patrick Ahearn Architect, we knew from their reputation and precedent projects that they offered only the highest quality design service.

Expanded with two new wings, the house today contains airy spaces that seamlessly flow. The foyer, for example, now boasts clear views to the back of the house, a new covered porch, and the yard behind.

The central spine leads to a parlor, a library, a sitting room, and a study. At the rear, a farmhouse-style kitchen opens to a dining and living area and the covered porch. The master suite above features a beamed cathedral ceiling, while an inglenook serves as a private oasis. French doors throughout provide light and views.
