Transitional Farmhouse

The classic American farmhouse gets a makeover with the crisp lines and varied roofline of this suburban Philadelphia home. Inside, stone piers and rough-hewn timber beams bring some rustic charm to the kitchen and living room. The punchy red walls of the sunroom bring out the beauty of the tile surround of the folksy, yet bold stucco fireplace. Built-in bookcases and overstuffed furniture create the perfect, sunny reading nook at the top of the basement stairs. Far from cold and musty, this basement includes a game room, a bar, a wine cellar, and a facility for the production of homemade wine.
