Rustic Farmhouse: Garvin-Weeks Farmstead The Garvin-Weeks Farmstead in beautiful North Reading, built c1790, has enjoyed a first floor makeover complete with a new kitchen, family room and master suite. Particular attention was given to preserve the historic details of the house while modernizing and opening up the space for today’s lifestyle. The open concept farmhouse style kitchen is striking with its antique beams and rafters, handmade and hand planed cabinets, distressed floors, custom handmade soapstone farmer’s sink, marble counter tops, kitchen island comprised of reclaimed wood with a milk paint finish, all setting the stage for the elaborate custom painted tile work. Skylights above bathe the space in natural light. Walking through the warm family room gives one the sense of history and days gone by, culminating in a quintessential looking, but fabulously updated new England master bedroom and bath. A spectacular addition that feels and looks like it has always been there! Photos by Eric Roth

The rustic ranch styling of this ranch manor house combined with understated luxury offers unparalleled extravagance on this sprawling, working cattle ranch in the interior of British Columbia. An innovative blend of locally sourced rock and timber used in harmony with steep pitched rooflines creates an impressive exterior appeal to this timber frame home. Copper dormers add shine with a finish that extends to rear porch roof cladding. Flagstone pervades the patio decks and retaining walls, surrounding pool and pergola amenities with curved, concrete cap accents.
