PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY Oct/11 (NOON-2). Beauty, Grace and Function. When architects design their own living spaces, they free themselves of the restraint of market trends. The result is a space where beauty, flow, comfort, and function are simultaneously experienced in every form of daily living.

The Kemp/Schnell home is designed by award-winning home designer Eric Schnell, a home featured by numerous publications and, better yet, recognized by friends, family, and neighbors for the many warm gatherings, large and small, that reflect the graceful hospitality of the owners.
