SUN POWER

STONE: EFFICIENT AND ELEGANT

Paired with our locally sourced wood trim, we have selected an Idaho field stone applied in a dry stack pattern for all the exterior stonework and pillars. This beautiful stone complements the wood and stucco exterior and gives this home an elegant and timeless appeal.
