Outdoor Living Space

FUN IN THE SUN…AND SNOW

MOUNTAIN PARADISE

The perfect place to relax on a hot summer day, this swimming pool offers both breathtaking natural beauty and the capacity for conveniences like landscape lighting, audio systems and irrigation. Stand-out details like locally-harvested stone, diving platforms, a waterfall, bluestone patios, planting beds and stone steps, however, are what make this space a true aquatic oasis.

SUBTLE UPDATES

While the amenities in this stunning home were enhanced — the living room and deck grew in size and a screen porch and window seat were added — its style and feel were left untouched.
Cedar Mill Group, Bronze

Single Family New Construction ($500-$750K)

CABIN IN THE WOODS

Rivaling the beauty of its Merrymeeting Lake backdrop is this custom-built 2,600-square- foot timberframe house. The beautiful lakeside retreat boasts four bedrooms, four baths, a great room, a family room and a screen porch. But it isn’t just pretty to look at — the building earned a 5+ Energy Star rating.
