When we come across a custom home builder whose work stands out, we can't help but mention them. A few days ago, we featured the talented Oakley Home Builders of Hinsdale, Illinois, and today, we're talking about Westport, Connecticut's Miro Builders.
Miro Builders came to our attention when they won the 2008 HOBI award for best custom home (3,000 - 4,000 square feet) by the Home Builders Association of Connecticut. We've posted a few samples of their work below, but you can see their entire portfolio online by visiting www.mirobuilders.com.
Here are some beautiful exteriors -- the homes are just the right size and very warm and inviting. They're wonderful family homes -- exquisitely detailed and the perfect place to entertain.
Shingle and Stone Dutch Colonial
Lovely clapboard and stone cottage -- the home is deceptively larger than it seems -- it retains a sense of intimacy, yet allows for a spacious interior.
Another view of the clapboard and stone cottage...
A beautiful farmhouse -- a great porch to pass the time chatting or reading a good book...
Another Shingle-Style Home...
Exterior -- rear yard and pool -- we love the white picket fence and stonework surrounding the pool...
And here are a few photos to give you an idea of the attention to detail in the interiors...
Check out this bathroom -- the farmhouse pedestal sinks, freestanding tub, wide-plank wooden floors and the beams across the ceiling -- who wouldn't love this bathroom!
The shower stall next to the two farmhouse pedestal sinks in the bath...
Exquisite kitchen -- Beautiful wooden beams run across the ceiling -- Painted white cabinetry, marble countertops, hardwood floors...
Another fabulous kitchen -- this one has modern, yet classic lines -- dark wooden cabinetry contrast against the ceiling -- stone countertops, a great flow into the great room or family room...
Wooden beams and the stone wall make the room warm and inviting -- the room has a modern feel to it, yet it retains much warmth...
