It’s that time of year when there’s a consistent chill in the air and, sometimes, snow on the ground. That means it’s time to curl up at home and hunker down for winter, waiting for warmer and sunnier days. And in this month’s blog post, we are pleased to present a series of houses that make it easy to do that in comfort and style. Here are our favorite cozy winter retreats from the Howard Hanna Homes of Distinction program this season.
