Beyond the hardwood double entrance doors, which feature bespoke stained-glass detailing, there is an immediate sense of space and abundant natural light in this distinctive, architecturally designed family home. Initially designed and built in the 1970s, Longwood House was extended in the 1990s to include the striking, curved, open-plan living room and the area at roof level, both features designed to capture the expansive views of the lake from the southern elevation.
