Cassons moved to their newly built home in 1994 after interior designer Kim Casson was hired to do the model home in the development Estates of North Hills. The Cassons raised three sons there, and the home has grown and changed with the family’s needs.
Highlights: the “Casson Family Tree House,” an elevated screened porch overlooking the wooded yard ; a stacked stone arch and wall in their kitchen hand-built by stonemasons; and Kim's custom closet.
