Originally built in 1812, this 1,752 square-foot timber-framed farmhouse is both a smart home and a living testimony of old-world building techniques. It combines architectural design with state-of-the-art mechanical systems. Much of the existing wood from the demolition was reclaimed and re-purposed throughout the house.

The open floor plan has a deconstructed kitchen, a dining and living area as well as a 3rd master suite or professional office. The home’s antique post-and-beam structure has been revealed and is now permanently exposed, along with the antique hand-hewn timber, extra-wide chestnut, and white oak flooring. An entirely redesigned artisan stone fireplace provides warmth and a central focal design element. The 1st level includes a full bar, a laundry room/mudroom and 2 bathrooms. The basement level features the original exposed large boulder foundation and a 1,000 bottle-capacity wine cellar. French doors allow for southern views of the private 3 acre property. A deck leads to a large stone patio wrapped around an outdoor fireplace. The upper level features dual master suites.

Spring Street Farm is well-situated in the historic hamlet of South Salem, across from a picturesque Echo Horse Farm. The project received the 2019 Chrysalis National Award in the Residential Historic Renovation category.

The entire roof is brand new and in compliance with the latest energy requirements. The shingles are composed of synthetic cedar hand split shakes-50 year warranty by DaVinci Roofscapes. In addition to the new roof-line, a larger, solid stone detailed chimney now provides warmth to the entire home.

Custom designed & built architectural roof wood brackets sit atop new wood lap siding. Underneath state of the art ZIP System R-sheathing structural panel provide exterior insulation featuring integrated moisture, air and thermal protection. High density spray foam insulation fills every gap between the wooden panels, preventing the unwanted movement of air and moisture through joists.

The glass front door, entrance and sidelights have been restored in insulated with the addition of a new A-Series Andersen French doors; interior millwork is custom built from the reclaimed original timber.
