Home of the Week: In Eagle Rock, simple sophistication fueled by Scandinavian design

Don’t let the dark, subdued exterior fool you. This newly built home in Eagle Rock takes its cues from the Scandinavian design movement of the 1950s with its clean lines, high ceilings and cozy living spaces. Outside, a minimalist-vibe backyard with decking, planters and a sunken conversation/fire pit brings to mind a style used in Nordic gardens.
