1 Ultra-durable shake and shingle Hardie Board siding lends remarkable style and character to this home’s exterior, which boasts a distinctive Nantucket flair. The roof shingles are made with a material crafted from recycled tires designed to emulate slate that will last for at least 50 years, while Versatex recycled plastic trim and aluminum/vinyl Marvin windows offer a real wood look without the ongoing maintenance. Plantings visible here include a magnolia, upright Japanese maple, white hydrangeas, red drift rose, American holly and Wardii taxus, while a bronze blue heron found by Wally and Mary Emily Gross in Florida is perched atop a bluestone circle in the foreground. Be sure to check out the garden story on page 16 to see more of the grounds!
