Loft
In this image, you are looking out from the main loft above the kitchen/dinning
area on the north side of the home, toward the winged stairs leading up from the
entryway and toward the upstairs guest bedrooms at the southern end of the home.
The main loft is open from floor to ceiling and overlooks the great room below.
This open design allows the homeowner ample room to arrange the loft in any manner,
from an entertainment area to a home office. Upstairs track lighting is controllable
to allow different light levels and accents for intimate conversation to lively
entertainment. During the winter months, heat from the wood-burning stove below
fills the loft with warmth and makes this a favorite area for winter reading and
relaxing. The main loft features it's own HVAC zone and superior insulation which
keeps it cool during the hot summer months.
Notice the "X" brace theme is carried through the upper bracing of the
entryway between the main sections of the home. This "X" brace motif is
used throughout the house and the Car barn. The loft in the foreground and the adjacent
loft in the guest area are carpeted, which controls reflected sound from below.
The loft in the guest area separates the two guest bedrooms and makes a nice setting
and mini library area, with built-in bookcases and indirect track lighting. The
spacious upstairs guest rooms and loft feature their own HVAC system, huge closets,
carpeting and central full bath. The bedroom to the left features floor to ceiling
windows that offer a dramatic view of the drive to the house and the forest area
to the east. The bedroom on the right is a bit more private and features smaller
windows which offer long distance views of the surrounding hills of Argyle. There
is ample room upstairs for guest or children and storage for other items if needed.
The home can accommodate most any active lifestyle.<
