One of a Kind Converted Barn on Bainbridge Island
Unique opportunity to own a historic converted dairy barn situated on half-acre grounds with a sunny organic garden space and fruit trees. The home was thoughtfully remodeled and converted from a barn to a home by Don Frothingham, a Seattle architect. The conversion retained distinctive features like cathedral ceilings with exposed beams and authentic rough-hewn wood floors. The roof is strengthened with metal tie rods and a new layer of roof above the barn’s traditional gambrel roof was added, filling the space with thick and rigid insulation. Gambrel roof framing is exposed, soaring above a light-filled hayloft that comprises main living areas. Historical features meld with the warmth of updated knotty pine walls and a peeled cedar tree that reaches to the ceiling in the center of a loft platform, which serves to define the living spaces within the open great room. Sixteen windows throughout the open living area draw passive solar heat and natural light. With a spectacularly open great room like no other, the property exudes warmth and charm.
