“IGREW up in this
house. My children
have grown up in this
house,” Chris says,
“Every house evolves
and grows and changes.” With the
compassion to add to it, and build
upon it, he says, “We’re thrilled to be
the caretakers of it.”
“His dad built a great house that
has stood the test of time,” Sutton
says. “I don’t think there was ever a
doubt in Chris’s mind that we would
end up here.”
They began the renovation process
with Gwathmey Residential Group
in 2015.
A rear terrace that overlooked
Cape Fear Country Club’s 13th tee
was enclosed with glass walls. Chris
Boney, who followed in his father’s
footsteps, designed a horizontal
roofline extension to create a sense
of enclosure within the indoor/
outdoor room, which is perfect for
nature viewing. Golden and redtail
hawks compete with barred and great
horned owls for squirrels beneath a
storied live oak tree.
“I never realized the diversity of
wildlife,” Chris says. “The birds and
wildlife really become our
TV show.”
A reconfigured open
kitchen and family room
unfolds beyond the
glazing. With so much
glass, some days the
Boneys feel like they live
in a fishbowl.
A love for the park-like
woodland setting of his
childhood home inspired
architect Chris Boney to
enclose the terrace and
design a glazed Bauhaus
addition to the tree
canopied rear yard that
overlooks the Cape Fear
Country Club’s 13th tee box.
