Before us stands an elegant two-story suburban house, embodying an eclectic combination of American architectural traditions. The facade presents a harmonious composition of two primary materials: the upper section is clad in horizontal wooden panels in a beige tone, while the lower level features natural sandstone masonry of irregular shapes. This combination of materials creates a striking contrast and visually lightens the upper portion of the building.
The symmetrical structure of the facade is emphasized by two protruding bay windows on the second floor, crowned with semi-circular arched windows with radial divisions. The central axis of the composition is accentuated by the grand entrance with a double wooden door in dark brown, richly decorated with carved elements. A stone staircase, framed by low shrubs, leads to the entrance.
The window openings on both the first and second floors are designed in a unified style with white window frames and horizontal blinds, giving the facade cohesiveness. A distinctive octagonal window above the entrance serves as the architectural focal point of the central part of the facade.
The landscape design elegantly complements the architectural solution: a paved stone pathway, low retaining walls made of the same stone as the house foundation, and carefully selected plants create a unified composition with the building's architecture. Palm trees flanking the property emphasize the southern, possibly Californian, character of the location.
