417 HOME 2014 Home of the Year

This contemporary home highlights its open country setting while taking special care to conserve energy. Cozy, comfortable furnishings soften the industrial structure and add warmth to the open, free-flowing floor plan. Large windows add natural light and connect the home to the outdoors. A large screened porch, stone fireplace, covered walkway, and covered front porch further accentuate the home’s scenic setting. Both current and future needs were considered during the design process. The recreation room features sliding barn doors for added privacy and includes both a bathroom and wet bar.
