"The Alderbrook" | PrecisionCraft Log Homes | precisioncraft.com

Editors’ Commentary: Designed so the interior blends with the outdoor living areas, this plan combines the visual appeal of mixed materials and though-out personal spaces to create a stunning—and smart—exterior. The Highlights: - A walkout lower level leads to a covered stone patio. The use of stone continues around the home, creating a solid base while complimenting the look of the logs above. – The railings on the main-level deck are made from wrought iron, rather than log, so that the surrounding views are as unobstructed as possible. It also allows visitors a clear view of the home’s architectural elements upon arrival. – A winning combination of open decks, a large screened-in porch (with outdoor fireplace) and a charming dining porch give the home’s exterior areas character, while adding almost a thousand extra square feet.
