Touch of Normandy
This Norman-inspired guest home brings in a variety of historic details and subtleties that hearken back to its French muses. From the richly stained ceiling beams to the angled fireplaces, every detail imbues a sense of craftsmanship plucked from the French countryside. Upstairs, candle sconce lighting shines on a comfortable living room that overlooks the treetops. The adjacent master bedroom’s vaulted ceilings and tall bedposts draw the eye to the hanging chandelier overhead. Downstairs, a fully equipped kitchen provides the perfect getaway for a relaxing meal. This guest retreat effortlessly transcends time and creates an experience that will linger with its visiting residents long after they depart.
