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.

The garage level floor plan shows how versatile a timber framed home can be. While the homeowner chose to use some of the garage as car storage and workshop, you could certainly turn most of this area into a children’s playroom or guest bedroom quarters.

The foyer in a timber framed carriage house demonstrates the craftsmanship that goes into this type of construction. The wood used here is one of the highest quality wood species, Douglas fir, and the homeowners chose a natural stain for their Vermont home.
