home of distinction
o n e w i t h n a t u r e
The home supports a lifestyle of being one with nature at all times, whether it’s toweling off on a private balcony
adjoining the master suite, enjoying a sultry breeze from the screened porch and outdoor grilling station off the
kitchen, dining al fresco on the elevated porch or enjoying the grounds from an unconditioned room hidden behind
mirrored garage doors — that when closed reflect the surrounding landscape — Pfirman has captured every nuance
the site offers.
“If you’re going to be sitting out here
facing each other,” he reasons, standing
amid an array of Adirondack chairs, “you
might as well see what’s behind you.”
Embarking on their third summer in
the space, the homeowners reflect on how
the home design responds to a desire for
privacy. Throughout the year, they retreat
to Serenity Point once a month on aver-age
and more frequently in summer. And
while they enjoy the company of close
friends and family, they did not build
the house to host large gatherings. With
only two guest rooms, a master suite and
a child’s room and adjoining play area,
most of the action takes place outdoors.
“We come here to breathe in and
breathe out, comfortably,” he says.
