The house is located on the edge of a beautiful field, backed by mature trees and a small stream.

The existing residence was a timber-framed cape with a massive central masonry fireplace.

The homeowners added:

• A master bedroom suite on the first level
• Larger dining room
• A new kitchen with a separate baking area and a
pantry with built-in cabinets for china storage
• A new entrance with coat storage and direct access to the second floor for future live-in help
• A new attached “barn” for two cars and a future media room above.

The renovation work included relocating and replacing the windows and doors, new flooring and wall finishes, a radiant heating system on the first level, three bathrooms, and new wiring and lighting.

The original heavy timber frame was kept and painted white in the one and a half story living room.
