The sun-drenched kitchen overlooks the Bakers’ Airlie lawn shaded
by giant twin oaks. This is the most used room in the house, where
the extended family gathers for a Fourth of July feast of fried
chicken, barbecue, potato salad, deviled eggs and watermelon. In

room, opposite, is reserved for special occasions.
