From Eyesore to Modern Farmhouse Beauty
The home was very choppy and divided, and the 1890’s balloon frame structure complicated the reengineering of the home, but they stripped it back to the brick and reframed it section by section, adding 650 square feet of space for the garage, master bedroom and mudroom.

Situated on a quiet street in the East Garafraxa Woods estate subdivision, this Normerica Timber Frame home features intricate beam work throughout and could easily be mistaken for a cottage in Muskoka (minus the lake of course).
