This farmhouse style home was designed by Mitch Wise Design in collaboration with DeLeers Construction is located in Door County, Wisconsin. Encompassing 3,200 square feet of living space, this home features a maintenance-free exterior facade of LP Smartside, corrugated aluminum roofing, and native prairie landscaping.
The design of this dwelling was inspired by the architectural lines of classic farm buildings. The outdoor living spaces are equally as important as the interior living spaces; which features covered and exposed porches, field stone patios and a screened-in porch. All of these spaces capture magnificent views of the surrounding meadow and tree line.
On the interior of this warm and inviting farmhouse you will find a mixture of rustic timbers and soaring ceilings, traditionally reserved for the barn and outbuildings. Classic finishes can be seen throughout, which are typically found in a family homestead. Walls of windows complimented by cathedral ceilings helps to invite natural light and nature inside.
Locally-sourced materials includes: reclaimed posts and beams, wide-plank white oak flooring and a fieldstone fireplace. These natural elements are paired with classic white cabinetry and millwork, tongue and groove wainscoting and a color palette of softened paint hues, tiles and fabrics to create a completely unique homestead.
