Sugar Hill is a three bedroom, two and one-half bath floor plan, wrapped up in 1837 square feet of timber frame beauty. This is one cute house!
As we enter this wonderful, yet hectic season we thought a visual stroll through some barn house photographs would create a nice respite. Some are purposefully decorated, some are decorated by nature; all are beautiful!
Our newest entry in the small barn home category is The Mont Calm. At 1585 square feet, the 3 bedroom, two bath post and beam home offers all the perks of a larger timber frame in a smaller design….
Post and beam single story living affords advantages you might not expect. Truth is, gone are the days of the plain and boring box-style houses. The Granite Ridge plan offers lofted ceilings, open kitchen, dining and living areas, flexible rooms, extended outdoor living spaces and …
A barn home for the holidays; has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? The holidays are the one time a year when friends and family make the extra effort to get together. Eat, drink and be merry becomes more than a cliché. The barn home lifestyle lends itself perfectly to this purpose. One of…
The Cabot barn house has been completed. When we last updated this barn home it was early summer and building was progressing nicely. Since then a whole lot of gorgeous has been happening with this open concept barn. All you need do is glance through the photos to see this is no ordinarily barn style home. Yankee Barn doesn’t do ordinary and neither do our clients. For starters, this house happens to be…

Have you ever looked through a Pottery Barn catalog and thought to yourself “I’d like to jump into that room and live there”? Me, too! It’s not only the way everything is so artfully arranged in the photo – plenty of catalogs do that – it’s about the comfort and lifestyle Pottery Barn is repeatedly able to capture and convey.

Post and beam homes are nothing new to this blog, but post and beam home additions are less often discussed. This does not make them any less spectacular, as you can see from the accompanying photography of Fieldview. This home was originally a 1980’s Post Modern house. There was nothing special about it architecturally speaking. Truthfully, it was an eye sore, but…
Coming in at 2821 sq ft (not including garage or porch) The Winnipesaukee is the perfect timber frame design for empty nesters, or eye toward a future empty nest, who entertain overnight guests. The post and beam house is easily closed off from the two bedrooms/bath located over the garage, while allowing them to become part of the home when friends and family visit. On the first floor, the great room features a lofted ceiling while the remainder of the open floor plan accommodates …
