The Barn Style House in Washington

This is a unique house which is situated on half-acre ground with a sunny organic garden space and fruit trees.  Don Frothingham remodeled this historic Washington dairy barn into a beautiful house. This building is originally built 104 years ago.

The barn original roof was reinforced with metal tie rods and enhanced with a new layer above its traditional gambrel roof.  There’re the master suite, two bedrooms, a full bath and family room on the main floor. The nine-light windows flood the home and provide the natural light. From the window we can see how beautiful Olympic Mountain is. Besides that, we can see fruit-tree orchard with apple, plums, cherries, crab apples, and Asian pears. Upstairs the house, there’re the piece de resistance appears overhead.

The conversion retained distinctive features like cathedral ceilings with exposed beams and authentic rough-hewn wood floors. This building features meld with the warmth of updated knotty pine walls and a peeled cedar tree that reaches to the ceiling in the center of a loft platform. It serves to define the living spaces within the open great room.
