The Plymouth Timber Frame: A Carriage House in Vermont

We hope you all had a fabulous time celebrating America yesterday! What makes all of the post and beam and timber frame homes we feature here even more terrific, is the fact that they are all manufactured in the USA! This week we’ll be featuring a gem of a home in east-central Vermont. It’s a timber frame carriage house nestled in the trees on beautifully sloped land.

Since all build sites are unique, it’s crucial to keep in mind how your site will work with the type of home you’re interested in. The Plymouth carriage house has a fantastic walk out basement, while the front of the home sits high on the sloped site.
