Designed and built in Butler County, this home sits picturesquely on 2 acres right next door to the home that the homeowner grew up in. Now owned by the owner's brother, the land is part of the 100+ acre farm that was once owned by the owner's grandparents. And the story just continues to get sweeter as the owner's nephew lives in the over 100-year-old farmhouse! Of the 100 original acres, 83 of the acres and the original farmhouse have been donated to the Three Valley Conservation Trust and will eventually be turned over to MetroParks of Butler County for a conservation easement and nature preserve.

Once on solid foundation, the remaining vertical post became the main supporting post for the entire house. It would eventually be incorporated into the design of the new kitchen island. The new structural beams were wrapped and painted to give the illusion of the original solid beams. A new spacious tiered island provides a generous area for the gas cooktop, work stations and an eat-at counter with high bar stools.

This is an example of a traditional landscaping in Burlington.

This pond has a 44 mil liner to ensure a leak free swimming structure. The liner material is sensitive to sunlight and will eventually breakdown over the years if it is exposed. As a result, our team spent 3 days meticulously covering the entire pond liner with stone. Each small boulder is hand placed to ensure a perfect fit and not tear the liner in the building process. The amount of patients and effort by our crew is incredible and the result is always beautiful! The waterfall which adds to the natural feel of the pond was created with large stone shelves and a bog for natural filtration. All of our water features use natural filtration processes and no chemicals. We create a simulated bog which the water is pumped into and cleaned naturally though various levels of sand, stone and wetland plants.

THEME There are two priorities in this room: Hockey (in this case, Washington Capitals hockey) and FUN. FOCUS The room is broken into two main sections (one for kids and one for adults); and divided by authentic hockey boards, complete with yellow kickplates and half-inch plexiglass. Like a true hockey arena, the room pays homage to star players with two fully autographed team jerseys preserved in cases, as well as team logos positioned throughout the room on custom-made pillows, accessories and the floor. The back half of the room is made just for kids. Swings, a dart board, a ball pit, a stage and a hidden playhouse under the stairs ensure fun for all. STORAGE A large storage unit at the rear of the room makes use of an odd-shaped nook, adds support and accommodates large shelves, toys and boxes. Storage space is cleverly placed near the ballpit, and will eventually transition into a full storage area once the pit is no longer needed. The back side of the hockey boards hold two small refrigerators (one for adults and one for kids), as well as the base for the audio system. GROWTH The front half of the room lasts as long as the family’s love for the team. The back half of the room grows with the children, and eventually will provide a useable, wide open space as well as storage. SAFETY A plexiglass wall separates the two main areas of the room, minimizing the noise created by kids playing and hockey fans cheering. It also protects the big screen TV from balls, pucks and other play objects that occasionally fly by. The ballpit door has a double safety lock to ensure supervised use.
