In looking for a vacation home in Vermont’s Green Mountains, these parents wanted plenty of space for their three kids to hang out and relax and for their family to gather with friends and relatives. They were aware they’d probably need to renovate whatever they found, so they brought in designer Milford Cushman to assess a few houses they felt had potential. They landed on this timber-frame home with spectacular mountain views of the Worcester Range.
The home had room for expansion in a large space over the garage and in the unfinished lower level. In addition, Cushman bumped out the footprint in a few key places. Other design priorities included bringing more light into the house and creating better connections to the outdoors. The finished home has a polished rustic look and is the perfect place for making lifelong memories.
