When we first moved in, it was just the two of us and we really did live there exactly how we dreamed, recalls Ben Lewis of he and his wife, Kristen s, early years in their contemporary Marriottsville home. It might have been nice to have furniture a little sooner, laughs Kristen, but we really did have so much fun using this awesome Great Room space to practice our ballroom dancing, she giggles, at one point, Ben even set up a hammock for us right by the fireplace! she adds. We loved imagining anything we could use that room for, she continues, and the openness of the space allowed us to do it all. Ben built several specialty features to add to the distinctive qualities of the house in other areas, too, including a reading nook under the steps which is perfect for curling up with a good book and a cup of coffee and our infinity deck which is the best spot my yoga mat has ever seen, she finishes. I know I fell in love with this house before we even came to see it, says Ben. and once we got inside and experienced the unique angles and Great Room beam structure along with being in the woods and surrounded by nature, I knew I had to make it our home. Ben and Kristen continue to talk about each of their favorite spaces inside and the summer nights outside listening to the sounds of nature, how sacred the place feels in the Winter with all of the frosted views and how it all became a daily classroom after the birth of each of their little girls. We got to have fun together and explore the outside in an entirely new way with the girls, offers Kristen. We ve squealed after minnows in the creek, matched animal feet in the mud and spotted as many deer, woodpeckers and wild turkeys as we could she adds looking around for the laughing pair. And now we ve come full circle, says Ben, the Great Room is back to ballroom and THEY VE taken it over to twirl and dance! Your best life begins in a place that inspires.
