This custom timber frame home perfectly captures the spirit of Vermont living by blending superior craftsmanship with the stunning natural beauty of the landscape. Surrounded by open swaying pastures, the home’s directional orientation and thoughtfully designed window package offer stunning views of the valleys and mountains nearby.
Our client’s design objective was to use the timeless combination of wood and stone to create beautiful spaces both inside and outside the home that truly defines quintessential Vermont living. The natural wood beams and fine finishes offer an organic ambience, while the stone elements give the house a solid, enduring quality. It is the complementary nature of the building materials that makes the space feel rooted in its surroundings and inviting to each new season of the year. It is the perfect place to gather with friends and family to tell old stories and make new memories.
This home’s defining feature is the timber frame great room providing a spacious living area that encourages togetherness. This room feels airy and bright with a grand central stone fireplace providing a warm hearth area for conversation. The flow of the living spaces is perfect for everything from quiet intimate nights by the fire to more generous family and social gatherings.
An additional standout feature of the home is its connection to the outdoors. Large windows and doors bring in natural light allowing access to the surrounding landscape from nearly every room. The views of mountains and meadows is a constant reminder of how special this place is. The scenery is everywhere you look and constantly changing with each season.
The home also features a wraparound porch bringing the living space into the outdoors. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy that first morning coffee or host a summer BBQ while soaking in the peaceful view. The porch, along with other outdoor spaces, invites you to embrace Vermont’s natural beauty and live more outdoors.
