Project Description
Having built recently for their relation, the owners of this beautiful Farmstead in southeastern Allen County approached us about building a new home for them. On the site, amongst several agricultural buildings, stood a home that was built in the late 1800’s. Sadly, the home that had served the family for so many years had been unoccupied for some time and was no longer a candidate for renovation. Although demolition and building new was the path chosen, the owners did want the new home to be positioned in the same spot as the existing home had sat on for so many years.
Lynn then designed a home that meets the owner’s wants and needs. The result is a 3 bedroom home with 2 1/2 baths and a separate office. There is also a hobby room on the main floor with its own heating and cooling system. A secondary stairs from the garage to the basement offers easy access to the mechanical room. There is a permanent stairway from the main level to a floored attic area for additional storage.
In reverence to the past, the owner’s preserved several items from the existing home that were repurposed in the new home including a claw foot tub and interior doors.
