RUSTIC CHARM IN SUBDIVISION

The cedar-framed home at 170 Binghampton in Fruitland nestles into the wooded setting.

From the exposed support beams to the rough hewn barn-style doors, you'll love the rustic appeal of this two-story house in its modern subdivision setting. Woods frame the rear of the home, and mature shade trees and plush grass complete the scene.

A creative hand has been at work in various places throughout the house, adding unique decorator touches. Stained glass in the entry door brightens the wooden exterior.

Everyone needs a special place to sit quietly and reflect on the day's events. A small sitting room off the entry is an inviting retreat. Grab your favorite book or just gather your thoughts as you gaze out the window.

A Poor Boy wood-burning stove adds to the charm of the room. Stone surrounds the stove and makes up the hearth.

An arched passageway takes you to the kitchen. Open-face cabinets put everything within easy reach. An octagon work station gives plenty of space for Mom and all her "helpers." Exposed ceiling beams keep the rustic theme intact. Hang your pots, pans and utensils from the old metal wheel above the work station.

Another arched divider sections off the breakfast nook. An unusual wall design has been created with the use of plaster and old china. A convenient half-bath is near the door to the two-car garage.

Both the garage door and cabinet in the half bath sport tin-punched door plates. Hanging and wall lights fashioned of tin add earthy touches.

Stone forms the floor-to-ceiling fireplace in the great room. A massive rough-hewn mantle complements the wooden ceiling and exposed support beam. Sliding doors lead to the multi-level deck that overlooks the wooded lot. The open stairway in the great room leads to both the upper bedroom level and the basement.

Cedar lines the two closets of the master bedroom. Light streams into the room through a stained-glass window. Bedroom and bath ceilings on the upper level are all wood.

A full bath is accessible from either of the two upper-level bedrooms. Tile on the bathroom walls adds to cleaning convenience. A wood furnace in the lower level is capable of heating the entire house. Sliding doors lead to the lower patio. A newly remodeled bedroom and bath leave the rustic touches behind. The large bath sports an oversized shower and pedestal sink. The laundry area and additional storage are on the lower level.
