When the existing home on this farmstead in southeast Allen County was razed, it made way for a new home to be constructed. The owners graciously allowed the local fire department to perform some drills as part of the demolition. Construction of this 2,919 sq. ft. home started shortly after demolition and consists of 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. The home is a ranch style with a 2nd floor bonus room and boasts a beautiful sun room as well. The mud room is nicely positioned between the 3 car garage and the eat-in kitchen. An important feature of this home is the luxurious in-floor radiant heat. The added comfort that this type of heating system provides cannot be overstated. From the walk-in master shower and his & hers closets to the wet bar, the home is packed with wonderful amenities. The exterior of the home consists of a combination [...]
Mountain Style Home in Northern Allen County
We are extremely excited to have been selected to design and build this mountain style home on Cedarville Reservoir in northern Allen County. The spectacular views offered on this home site are rarely found locally and it demanded that a new home built there should take every possible advantage of those beautiful vistas.

Now complete, this two-story home is comprised of 3,300 square feet of living space over a finished daylight basement. The three bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths are accompanied by two offices and a sun room. An over-sized attached two car garage provides additional storage to that provided by an outbuilding that shares the site. The open linear design of the great room, dining room [...]

Period Home Construction in Ohio
The owners of this home, built in a secluded wooded setting in northwest Ohio, were very clear in their instructions as to its design and layout. The over-riding requirement was to stay as true to the early New England period home style as possible while taking advantage of the benefits that new technology offers. With considerable guidance from the owners, we feel that this goal was successfully achieved. Lynn and the owners designed this home with authentic characteristics such as lower ceiling heights and a steeped pitched roof common for the period. An over-sized all masonry fireplace is the central focal point of the interior and exterior as well. The interior decorating follows the theme with s4s casings and base as well as an all wood stair case with simple balustrade and wide wood plank flooring. Small touches like the hand crafted door hardware in the style used in the period contribute to [...]
