“The best homes create a sense of sanctuary, within a circumstance of beauty and become a grace upon the landscape” reflects renowned architect and Taliesin Fellow Gerald Lee Morosco.This impeccably maintained home graces an idyllic 2.25-acre woodland meadow that is less than an hour from Pittsburgh’s downtown cultural district. A modified cruciform in plan, the north side of the house nestles firmly into the hillside and the southern exposure is left open to capture the sun. The exterior presents an authentic palette of natural materials. Battered, horizontal board and batten cedar siding rises from a base of river run stone and carries up to meet the broad overhangs of the roofs. Rustic stucco rendered in a warm ochre tone envelopes the second floor.
