For this project, the owners have chosen to invest in their fine, established home, originally designed by McIntyre Capron, by improving its amenities for outdoor living. Meticulously clipped boxwood, classical architectural elements, and streamlined detailing come together to form a clean and balanced backyard sanctuary to be enjoyed for years to come.
