Doctors’ home

This is the home of an area pediatrician and her retired
neurosurgeon husband in Belgrade Maine. The home faces
onto Great Pond, just yards away. The 5,000 square foot house was built on the
grounds of a former summer camp and features a soaring two-story great
room, kitchen and dining area, a den
with a panoramic view of the lake, four bedrooms and a second-floor “tower”
office for the pediatrician.

More than 8,000 square feet of Englert Series `1300 standing
seam metal roof were used for the main house and adjacent garage. The color of
the 24 gauge, 20 inch wide standing seam panel is patina green. The primary
challenge during installation was the severe 16/12 pitch of the roof and the
installation of metal around the dormers on the side of the house facing the
lakefront. David Barker of Farmingdale, Maine was the general contractor.
Installed more than a decade ago, the color and finish of this 1 ½-inch
mechanically seamed roof remains as fresh as the day it was installed, despite
the harsh, cold winters of the region. Beck & Sons of Waterville installed the roof.
