Wine Country Farmhouse

Designed by the Bohlin Cywinski Jackson architecture studio, this stunning country farmhouse is located in Napa Valley, California. The talented team transformed what was once a dated and dark farmhouse, into a bright and airy contemporary home surrounded by grape vines and matured walnut trees. The renovated farmhouse now features an open living room and dining area (with beautiful cedar siding on the ceiling and walls) that look out to an expanded deck, a rectilinear pool, a guesthouse, and a renovated water tower. The yard includes numerous opportunities for entertaining, including a built-in barbecue, fire pit, and bocce ball court, with views of the vineyards beyond.
