The homeowners chose a standing-seam, high-gauge steel roof to handle the snow loads and add to the home’s good looks. Stout post-and-beam construction supports the porte-cochere, which is punctuated by the cast-iron horse sculpture.
From their rear deck, constructed of yellow pine and supported by an elaborate timber network, the homeowners enjoy a panoramic view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Building on a sloping lot allowed the homeowners to add a walkout basement, which features mountain views, and accommodates a family room and bar area.
