Fresno, California

This residence is screened from view by the beautifully proportioned four-car garage and a bisecting sally port.  This arrangement creates an exciting arrival procession culminated by an exquisitely landscaped entry court.

The 6,500 square foot house is laden with traditional detailing, including a beautifully curved stairway, wood paneled walls and rich crown molding.  Unlike many traditional homes, the interior is light and airy, and through the use of a wide gallery hall, it is relatively open in plan.  The back of the house rises gracefully above the river bluffs with sweeping views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the north.
