In Connecticut, Ledge House Makes The Most Of Its Stunning Forested Scenery

The house features a great room at its center—a big lofted open area, devoted to social activities, and connecting to the outdoors via a valley terrace. “The living room, dining room and kitchen form the nucleus of a large breezeway through the house; the breezeway was strategically positioned to take advantage of the views to the valley, the uphill cross-ventilating breezes, and an existing boulder that becomes a rugged companion to the house and the views of the landscape,” explain the architects. Connecting to the great room are the master bedroom suite on one end of the house, with two guest bedrooms and a full bath on the other. Inside, interior finishes are light and airy, with contemporary furnishings harmonizing with the architecture through a calming palette of natural materials, colors, and textures.
