Living Large

A design team crafts a custom, waterfront abode in luxe, traditional style.
Grand Award Custom Build, Over 4,500 sq. ft.
Pyramid Builders

Avid equestrians relocating from California to Maryland’s Eastern Shore tapped Pyramid Builders to create a custom waterfront farmhouse along with a six-stall, working barn on their 15-acre property. Designed by Purple Cherry Architects, the finished project includes luxurious stables along with a 12,000-square-foot residence. “The floor plan of the main house caters to stunning river views from the back,” says Pyramid president Bret Anderson. The builder put a premium on craftsmanship throughout the residence, from the reclaimed white oak floors to custom kitchen cabinetry with elaborate mixed-metal finishes. As Anderson observes, “Wraparound porches, a pool, pool house and screened patio maximize the outdoor experience.”

"A successful blending of the casual life, shared with horses and the Eastern Shore.”
