“I love the veranda. It’s completely open, but you feel so sheltered out there, even in the rain. When I have guests look back toward the living room, they’re astounded at how beautiful the copper work is around those windows. The house is situated to maximize the southern exposure. When the sun is streaming through into the living room, it lights up the iridescent glass between the bricks in the fireplace. Guests have commented on how the fireplace seems to glow and emanate warmth even without a fire.”
