A dream home for sure!!!

I was exploring some of the beautiful images on Houzz today & came across this beautiful Victorian farm house.
I was very surprised to see it was a new build as it looks like it had been a part of the scenery for many years.



I couldn't help but look follow the link for the building designer who was responsible for such a gorgeous home.
I needed to see more.

Madson design is a building design studio in San Francisco specializing in residential remodels, additions, and new custom homes.

This one just oozes character & charm

This was once a dairy farm, built in the late 1800s/early 1900s.
 The new owners are in love with the site’s history and unassuming, simple, yet beautiful nature, so were looking for a new home that would be sympathetic with its surroundings, both in appearance and in character.

I do believe this project was a definite success!

I love the freshness of the black & white exterior, softened by the greenery surrounding the home & then the original old red shed  adds a lovely contrast & a sense of history.

That sense of history was also continued inside the home.
A view from the entry to the family room.

The wood posts and mantel framing the fireplace are old railway ties, salvaged by the owners from an abandoned track nearby, they add so much character, which is why I never suspected it was a new build.

These exposed beams add a rustic & aged touch connecting  the fireplace to the rest of the home.

I love the beautiful farmhouse style kitchen ,with the shaker style doors being an all time favourite of mine.

Unfortunately there where no other photo's featuring what appears to be an incredible mudroom in the back ground.

The dining area has 180 degree views of the surrounding farm land & the pool.

Of course if you haven't had enough of the view, you could also relax in this amazing clawfoot tub.

I love the wainscoting & the hexagonal floor tiles, I could see myself enjoying some bubbles here...

both in the tub & my favourite champagne glass!

I don't know about you but I fell in love with this masterpiece!
