Although this particular house required many labors, the love of the effect is palpable. Elizabeth says, "It was 600 square feet with two bedrooms and a kitchen/ bathroom arrangement." Now nearly . 2000 square feet, it includes a third floor dedicated to the master suite. By rights, it showd be "master sweet." (More to follow.) The main floor offers an expansive, gracious living room with formal dining room area, terrific kitchen with dining alcove and glass- paned doors to the three "outdoor liv- ing decks." To build it all, one side of the house was removed, leaving the part with the original Victorian veranda, always the front entry, but now has become the OBER 16-22. 2008 side veranda with access from inside through a paned-glass living room door. "We redesigned the front facing Willow Steet instead," Bruce says. The two driveways weren't intended to replicate Victorian anything, though. What seems to be a lawn is actually small pavers tightly chinked with thick grass. Bruce explains, "Water soaks in rather than drain away." Elizabeth adds, "We use every ecological option."
