DESIGN + BUILD | CUSTOM HOMES
The Talmage Residence
It’s not often we share the listing of a recently completed home. This rare gem has been on the market for a few weeks and we simply had to share. It was a sincere pleasure to build this beautiful home for its residents. From the first meeting to handing over the keys, every transaction was a joy.
To put it simply, this has been one of our favorite builds and we look forward to the next owners being a part of the Living Stone family.

30+ Years of Design-Build Experience
Green Building Leadership
We prioritize designing and building homes that are as low-maintenance as possible—but no home is maintenance-free. Much like a high-performance vehicle, a high-performance home is designed to perform at a higher level, but it still requires thoughtful, routine care to keep it operating at its best. Living Stone Concierge helps protect that performance—and your investment—by giving you a trusted team to manage the ongoing care your home needs for years to come.
