Custom Construction

Morse sits in Hyde Park on a fifty-foot lot and lives larger than the survey. Four bedrooms up, a living hall and dining that share the garden light, a study, a game room, and a kitchen that opens to the family room instead of turning its back on it.

White oak runs underfoot. The plan is split where privacy is needed and open where the house should gather. A covered patio and a double drive keep the street calm.

It is an inner-loop house in the ordinary sense: close to the city, quiet on the lot, built to be lived in every day.
