Meadow Drive is a custom home with an eccentric mix of features perfectly suited to homeowners. The house is built on the client’s son’s property, allowing the whole family to live near, but in separate homes.

 

They oped for an English-style home clad with roof-grade cedar shakes provided by Longhouse Forest Products. These shakes are much higher quality than you would typically find, ensuring they’ll stand the test of time. The homeowners opted to leave them natural so they would silver over time, creating a naturally elegant look. They chose black and red for the trim to give the home a “pop.” 

 

The interior has a polished concrete floor tough enough to hold up against their St. Bernards. While this flooring is low maintenance on a day-to-day basis, it needs to be resealed every 5 years, and you must vacate the home for 5 days following. Other interior features include the Tiffany lights throughout the house. The clients wanted a wood-burning fireplace, which was accomplished by using a wood-burning stove with a surround that makes it appear like a traditional fireplace.
