The word "Shenandoah" was derived from the Native American expression for "Beautiful Daughter of the Stars" The owner/builders of the Timberpeg® home in Lovettsville, have merged the Pueblo Santa Fe style with its soft, organic lines and rounded corners and merged it with the classic, natural beauty of post and beam architecture.

As you approach the home, you are greeted by a hand crafted wood door by Gerry Brown at Floating World Design. The Southwestern style is updated with large windows, high ceilings, and an open floor plan with a river rock arch fireplace in the heart of the great room. This home is a hybrid with Timberpeg Post and Beam as the central portion of the home and two attached conventional wings.

A Kiva fireplace will add warmth and become the focal point of the Master Bedroom. True to Southwestern style, rustic wood vigas procured in New Mexico accent the front porch. The flooring is reclaimed oak barn wood milled locally at Cochran's in Berryville. It is a warm and very livable home but the Great room imbues a sense spaciousness and drama due to a high ceiling and a pair of trusses that flank a second floor catwalk and spacious loft.

A walkout basement tucked beneath the house takes full advantage of the natural slope of the land. The owners have been very involved with both the design and the building of the home and have really enjoyed collaborating with their general contractor, John Gannaway at H.I.S construction.
