Award Winning Timber Frame Home

This is a simple straightforward design with pine timber framing in the main living portion of the home, and conventional construction for the bedroom wing, entry, laundry and garage.

The main entrance to the house is in the link, which also contains coat closets, a lavatory and a separate laundry room.

The heart of the home is the kitchen, which opens onto and faces both the breakfast and dining rooms and features low counters and a granite-topped island.

The living room features a window wall facing south, with sliding doors leading out to a large deck. On the north side of the room is a special music area with a grand piano, and beyond are two bedrooms and baths.

Upstairs is the master bedroom with a five fixture bath and spacious walk-in closets. There is also a den with a railing overlooking the cathedral great room.

This house shows a nice blend on conventional and traditional framing, with the post-and-beam areas making use of the cathedral space and providing a dramatic great room. The home is an excellent example of how to maximize useable space and volume, while keeping costs reasonable.
