Mountain Lodge and American Farmhouse influences combine to create a practical and dramatic home perfectly suited for family life and nature lovers.

In the great room, sunlight filters through the high clerestory windows, playing against the wood and stone and plastered finishes – it brings this space alive. At twilight; strategically placed fixtures wash light over the wooden ceilings and timbers – giving this home a warm and cozy, cabin-like charm.

With its massive stone fireplace and heavy timber frame construction the Baxter has a rustic yet refined character, reminiscent of the great Adirondack camps of old. A screened porch completes the picture - inviting you to slow down, to sit, to watch and listen to the world outdoors.

This is a special home to share with guests; a casual, open floor plan - flowing naturally from the great room, screened porch, kitchen and dining areas. It is an equally practical plan for day-to-day living, with the laundry, powder room, generous master suite and private sitting porch all contained on one level.

Upstairs a loft provides a wonderful overlook, while two large bedrooms dramatically nestle beneath the timber rafters. A bright, roomy bathroom, generous closets, built-ins and storage combine to make this a very popular and livable design.

• If the site is sloped, significant square footage can be added by incorporating a full or partial walk out basement.
