On a large 3 acre lot in the middle of the woods near the heart of Weddington, NC, you will find Karen and Rodney's home nestled comfortably among the hardwoods. This respite was years in the making as Karen wanted to make sure all the details were taken care of - right down to the shape of the pendants on the bottom of the timber trusses. "Although a big company as far as timber frame companies go, we knew Timberpeg could deliver the specific details we desired. We had a photo of a truss design with a special looking pendant on each. Timberpeg was able to work out the dimensions and proportions in such an artful manner that the room turned out better than we had envisioned."

As you enter the foyer, your eyes are drawn through the beautiful eastern white pine timber trusses to the glass wall beyond. The timbers actually mimic the woods right outside the window, so it feels like you're actually sitting in the woods.

Karen and Rodney like to entertain so the spacious great room allows for large groups to mingle. "The warmth of the timbers creates a quaint space for us to socialize," says Karen. "All our friends love coming to our house to visit."

Just off to the side of the great room is a formal dining area which extends the gathering spaces and allows people to congregate. And that's been the challenge. People enjoy the house so much that they often don't want to leave. Although after a long evening, no one has to drive very far as the home is centrally located in Union County just up the road from Waxhaw.
