December’s Timber Frame of the Month - Over 2500 sq ft
The Ontario Farmhouse from PineRidge timberframe is situated on top of a hill overlooking thousands of acres of Canadian conservation land located in Beaver Valley, ON. From the outside, this Victorian looking farmhouse is so traditional that visitors are rarely prepared for the impressive interior that awaits them.
This unique timber frame was designed and manufactured by PineRidge Timberframe from Mount Forest, ON Canada and went up in three weeks despite the strong winds blowing over the land. With oversized structural panels the home has a feeling of solidity and heft - but they also help to keep heating and cooling bills low despite the home’s expansive windows. The home’s open floor plan was designed to give it a homey old fashion feeling while having enough space for easy entertaining (which Don Jack the homeowner does a lot of - for his real estate Clients, friends and family). Instead of closing in the four season room next to the kitchen/ dining area, Don opted to eliminate the walls and keep the space as a additional seating / lounging / dining area for when he entertains. Don did the finishing work himself, taking a little more than a year and a half to get everything just right. From the radiant in floor heat beneath the blue and brown slate floors throughout the home to the 14 foot kitchen island that houses 2 dishwashers, Don tried to think of everything. Mike Mader of PineRidge stated that Don wanted a timber frame that wasn’t typical so we gave him unique! This Old World Ontario Farmhouse caters to the masses – but still feels like home.
Main Floor is 2,333 sqft, Second Floor is 523 sqft.
