This 1800's dairy barn was falling apart when this renovation began. It now serves as an entertaining space with two loft style bedrooms, a kitchen, storage areas, a workshop, and two car garage.
Features:
-Alaskan Cedar swing out carriage and entry doors pop against the traditional barn siding.
-A Traeger wood pellet furnace heats the entire barn during winter months.
-The entire kitchen was salvaged from another project and installed with new energy star appliances.
-Antique slate chalkboards were cut into squares and used as floor tile in the upstairs bathroom. 1" thick bluestone tiles were installed on a mudjob in the downstairs hallway.
-Corrugated metal ceilings were installed to help reflect light and brighten the lofted second floor.
-A 14' wide fieldstone fire pit was installed in the field just off of the giant rear entertaining deck with pergola.
