[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I don’t know what it is about Connecticut and gorgeous scenery, but it’s an undeniable fact; the state\u00a0certainly has it! If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a great piece of property, no matter where it might be, you’ll be certain to think long and hard about the type of structure that best suits not only your needs, but also shows off your property’s best features. This is why the truly great homes don’t exist\u00a0in a vacuum. They’ve been thoroughly planned and thought out, and one of the most important aspects to be considered is the site<\/em>. Case in point: this\u00a0particular rural setting just begged for a barn, and not just any barn; a New England Yankee barn built by Yankee Barn Homes<\/a>.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This home is actually two barns set perpendicular\u00a0 to each other. One of them serves the interactive social areas of the home while the other houses the private quarters and garage. There’s even an ingenious pass-through that creates the distinction between bedrooms and garage.\"post<\/a><\/p>\n

The creative use of a full bump-out entryway, faced in local stone, not only takes this home’s exterior appeal up several notches, it also\u00a0provides\u00a0the\u00a0function of\u00a0transition between\u00a0the front\u00a0exterior\u00a0and interior living spaces. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A close-up shot of the entry shows that while it may be functional, it is also an architectural feature\u00a0in its own\u00a0right. Through the use of gorgeous double doors, bleached cedar shingles and a barrel-vaulted\u00a0ceiling trimmed out in bead board, this entryway provides stylish shelter from the elements.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just as the exterior is designed to work with the site, the interior is set up to work for a family that enjoys spending time together. The\u00a0common areas of the home, kitchen, dining and living areas, are housed in one barn which has no interior walls. Each space flows into the next so people may communicate and move about\u00a0freely. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The stone fireplace is centrally located so that it may be enjoyed no matter where the family is gathered.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The kitchen area sits opposite the great room area and is separated from the dining area by a half wall that\u00a0serves as\u00a0a built-in side board with china cabinets on either end. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Behind the break front is the kitchen area, complete with a center island that includes an eat-at bar. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So there you have it.\u00a0 Nothing beats well thought out and well designed space, inside and out. Except maybe to be sure the structure you build is one that will look good anywhere and go with any style – a barn home. And no one does it better from beginning to end (yes\u00a0YBH buildings\u00a0 include<\/em> the walls and the roof in\u00a0their packages) than Yankee Barn Homes! \"\"<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”vc_default” full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1613579162596{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” min_height=”300px”][vc_column][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”sidebar_3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
