This is a rather whimsically designed house in a buccolic setting just nine miles from Chapel Hill. The one acre lot: is completely wooded with a mature forest, has a three acre lake (called Chesterfield Lake), two rain-water creeks.

The adjacent properties are also completely wooded, surrounding the site by forest. An amenity? - of an old privy is on the side of the lot.

The house was custom-built from the remnants of the Chesterfield Tobacco recreational property. The house was built around the remaining chimney of the old barbeque pit. The house is in three levels. The exterior is raw cedar siding. Inside the middle floor is laid with wide birds-eye maple planks. The living-room is in pine and cypress. The house has two iron stoves; a decorative Ben Franklin stove in the master bedroom and a big working Buck-eye stove in the living room. Much of the inside siding, doors and fixtures and cabinets were made from wood and iron salvaged from the old properties. A great part of the whimsical design of the house comes from the Triangular-shaped windows that border the roof lines. These windows flood the north facing Kitchen / dining area and bathroom with direct sunlight.
