couple decided to go with one of their stock
designs, “The Clearwater,” which perfectly
met their needs. Featuring three bedrooms,
two full bathrooms and a half bath, the
1,586-square-foot plan marries form and
function, offering plenty of intimate spaces
in a layout that also feels open and spacious.
The structural log package adds instant
beauty to the home, featuring 6-by-8-inch logs
cut from eastern white pine. The kiln-dried
logs have a D-profile, with a rounded edge
on the exterior and a flat interior. A clear coat
allows the natural beauty of the grain to shine
through, while protecting the wood fibers.
The building process was smooth,
thanks to the crew at Wayne Stark Builders
of nearby Warren, a company recommended
by Coventry. “They did an amazing job,”
shares Peter. “We really did our homework
before building. Since it is a highly specialized
construction style, we wanted to go with a
company that had plenty of experience with
log homes.”
Since Sharon and Peter’s full-time resi-
dence is just 25 minutes away, they were able
to visit the construction site every day. In fact,
they found it hard to stay away. “I would
always tell myself that the crew probably had
questions they needed us to answer,” recalls
Sharon with a laugh. “Sure, they did!”
The petite living room’s open design
creates an airy ambiance that envel-
ops guests in comfort as soon as
they enter the home. The fireplace, by
Lakes Region Chimney Pro of Gilford,
features natural fieldstone that was
hand-selected, one stone at a time.
