Sharon Valley
With a wrap-around porch, an inspiring vaulted great room and four full-size bedrooms, this house satisfies the practical needs of a larger family without compromising any of the excitement uniquely achievable with timber framing.
The foyer features an L-shaped stairway leading to a sunny loft and a bridge. The bridge overlooks the great room and leads to the three well-lit and generously-sized upstairs bedrooms.
At the heart of the home is the great room, with a large fireplace centered in the gable wall. Looking up, one sees a intriguing grid of timber jack and valley rafters leading toward the balcony.
To the left of the great room is the master suite, including a large bedroom with bay window, walkthrough dressing area and a roomy bath.
On the right is an efficient yet free-flowing kitchen that serves a sunny eating nook on the back of the house, and a more formal dining room on the front. Those who prefer a more open floor plan may want to eliminate the partition wall between the kitchen and great room, and even between the kitchen and dining room.
