Maria Rusafova and Jakub Markulis made a point of preserving the trees close to the home, including a tulip poplar that grows through the entry deck.
Open-riser stairs typify the modern aesthetic and under-cabinet windows in the kitchen welcome ample natural light.
The second-floor deck is a quiet spot for morning coffee.
Frosted-glass cabinets provide storage in the 1,400-square-foot home.
A built-in desk in the master bedroom maximizes space.
The children's room is a joyful place for creativity.
In the living room, a neutral palette creates an air of space and calm.
Huge windows provide views of the lush forest.
Thin horizontal windows welcome in light, but allow for privacy.
