RENDERINGS FROM PIATT SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY
7/30/18 1:58 PM
Construction of this Laurel Valley, Pa., vacation home was a family a air. After purchasing a vacant 22-acre parcel of land for $250,000 in 1997, architect Louis Astorino designed the house. His wife, Jean, consulted on interior design. Their son, a civil engineer, helped build the home, and their daughter, a landscape architect, designed the gardens and topiaries. BRYAN REID 1 of 16
