Ridgewood is a two-story Hyde Park house with a library on the plan, not as an afterthought. Living at twenty-two feet, a kitchen that works, a game room, breakfast in the light, sleep on the second floor.

Wood and tile underfoot, a fireplace, a fenced garden. The elevations are quiet stucco and dark glass — a street face that does not compete with the oaks.

It is a family house in the old sense: rooms with jobs, and one of those jobs is to sit still with a book.
