CONTEMPORARY FARMHOUSE POMELO PLACE DUAL ENTRANTS | MURRAY HOMES AND MASTERS COLLECTIVE
This family with two young children wanted to design a “forever” home. The irregularly shaped lot, situated west of the Trail, allowed imagination and creativity in the design. The last project by the late John Potvin, this design embodies his talent for taking a client remit and adding his interpretation to produce a truly remarkable home. Blending contemporary allure with historical nods, this refined dwelling forms a sunlit sanctuary for a family of four. A welcoming white façade leads to an expansive front porch with rocking chairs, se ing a serene tone. Inside, tranquility reigns in the stone mosaic-floored entry hall, guiding visitors through spacious, interconnected spaces accented by painted wood beams. Seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor living redefines the home’s essence, with vibrant custom cabinetry inspired by tropical landscapes gracing nearly every room. Vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings in the master bedroom and outdoor zones invite gazes upward. Outdoors, a striking concrete-paneled wall and a hearth bench by local artisan Jake Brady adorn the see-through fireplace, anchoring the inviting outdoor space. Meticulous minimalist detailing preserves clean lines, providing unobstructed outdoor views, resulting in a captivating synthesis of modern architecture and nuanced design, marking this residence as an emblem of distinctive design prowess.
