of Emiel and Lynda Smet. This cedar-sided, modified two-story contemporary is the seat of a working farm. Its cathedral ceilings, 17 feet at the peak, are covered in six inch pine in living room, dining room and sun porch. Most of woodwork is lightly stained oak.
Displayed are collections of Delft porcelain and Belgian crystal; on the face of the chimney chase in the living room a large relief copper plate and pewter sits on the mantel.
The sun porch is enclosed by five large sliding doors leading to an extensive deck with a view of rolling meadows and woods with the mountains to the west. The interior atmosphere with its warm wood tones has a distinct Flemish flavor harkening back to Mr. Smet’s origins outside Antwerp, Belgium.
Homes will be open from 11 a. m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19 and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 20.
