PRESERVING HISTORY BY BUILDING WITH HISTORIC TIMBER FRAMES...

 

Live your dream...with reclaimed timber!  Turn historic timber frames into unique, livable homes.  Interesting and environmentally rewarding

Antique timber-framed homes have a timeless character that cannot be duplicated in a home built with new wood. The materials speak of a past in which craftsmanship and enduring quality went hand-in-hand. The hand-hewn structural timbers were cut from the early American virgin forests and are much larger than any timbers available today. These time-tested, hand-crafted structures are then finished with modern, innovative, energy-efficient designs and materials. The completed structures make beautiful and unique homes, and guest houses.

 

 

 

Question:  Are barn homes a good investment for resale potential? 

The answer is YES!  As all homes are chosen by buyers with unique ideas and purposes to fulfill, so are unique homes like these.  Barn homes are now widely regarded in construction and design magazines. Architectural Digest regularly runs articles featuring restored barn homes, and other articles featuring barn homes appear continually in publications as diverse as Country Living, Victorian Homes, and Timber Homes Illustrated. Barn homes have also been regularly featured on programs such as “This Old House.” The uniqueness, rustic beauty, and timeless craftsmanship of restored, historic timber frames appeal to a very wide cross-section of custom home buyers and therefore enhance their resale value.
