    Villanova Residence

    A new house on an old-house grounds. The house is sited close to the upper back edge of the property, against a stone wall, forming an enclosed, quiet entry and leaving a long, sloped front lawn and wide side yard. From the road, another stone wall and plantings of the terrace give privacy to the main patio area, yet maintain the view to adjacent fields.
