The new issue of Washington Life magazine features Splinter Creek in an article titled "In the Deep South, A Break from Reality." The story centers around homeowners Blair and Ben Wunderlich, who split their time between Washington, D.C., and Splinter Creek.
As the article states, "Blair wanted a place to unwind or 'pump the breaks' with her young, four-person family, just as she had as a child."
"Wunderlich’s one-level, open floor plan property she calls East Cove Home is a far cry from the Queen Anne or Gothic Revival style residences typical of the region. Its mid-century design cantilevers over grassy banks to create a hovering effect and “minimize the touch of man on the earth,”Wunderlich says."
"Perched on piers, its tree house-like quality allows for 80-degree views of the water. Indeed, the hallmark of the three bedroom 2.5-bath house is its expansive lake view, where the dining room’s large floor-to-ceiling windows frame the outdoors “like artwork,” Wunderlich says. Most days, the doors are left open, allowing for airflow and a truly indoor/outdoor living atmosphere."
