The proprietors
of the Luckets project had originally pioneered their project by
disassembling and old Timber Frame barn that they that had acquired.
To their dismay, the materials wouldn't produce a home significant
enough to accommodate the family expansion they are looking forward
to.
They
designed a Timberpeg® traditional American barn style home to
complement the rural surroundings of northern Virginia. The home
will be approximately 5,000 square feet with a conventionally built
mudroom with and easy connection to the garage. As you enter the
home, double doors open into a wide foyer then you are greeted with
the expansive great room which ushers in natural light and a picturesque
view of the Shenandoah Valley.
The living
area is designed to entertain with the kitchen flowing into the
dining room and Great room. The Dining room will include Anderson
French wood out swing patio doors that will invite you onto the
first floor deck spanning the entire length of the southern exposure.
A Timber frame covered porch on the southeast corner will showcase
the natural setting and be a perfect setting for outdoor entertaining.
One of
the very unique additions to this home is the "Away Room"
which was designed to be a place of respite and from the hustle
and bustle of daily living. Board and Batten cedar siding and a
standing seam metal roof will complete the exterior.
The frame
raising is scheduled for early March, 2006, so stay tuned for progress
reports on this charming abode.
