This enchanting stone house, crafted by Shepard & Davis Architects in collaboration with Andrew Brown Interiors, boasts sweeping views over Smith Lake in Alabama. The dwelling was designed to evoke the appearance of an old English mill tower and mill house. However, the juxtaposition of architectural elements gives it a modern edge.
The beautiful architecture and panoramic views of the lake combine with English antiques and custom upholstery throughout the interior of this 3,726-square-foot, five-bedroom, and three-and-a-half-bathroom holiday home.
On the exterior facade, the stone is salvaged limestone, while the roof is cedar shake, and the exposed steel structure features floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors. Continue below to see the rest of this stunning house tour…
