EXPERIENCE A TIMBERPEG HOME!

Sunday · April 27 · 11am-4pm

LAKE JAMES, NC - Come visit us at Mike & Jill's new home overlooking beautiful Lake James!  With views of the lake off the front porch and the mountains beyond, they are regularly enjoying the views from their rocking chairs. See More Photos!

Upon visiting their property you will notice the prime building spot  - on top of a knoll with views overlooking Lake James to the south. A great place for a covered timber framed front porch to enjoy the panoramic views from the shade. Behind the house to the north, Linville Mountain rises above the valley below, all of which is national forest land. The home is designed just right so views of both the lake and mountains can be enjoyed – particularly from the great room.

To accomplish this, the great room is designed at the end of the house with three walls of windows open to the views. The wall height was raised to 10’ to maximize glass in the large 24’x 22’ room with soaring cathedral ceilings. All this glass will certainly bring the outdoors inside! View more photographs.

LAKE JAMES, NC -  - Chris and Joe's house is progressing quickly.  The outside siding and roofing is installed and the rough trades are complete.  The hanging of sheetrock on the interior walls will begin shortly.

When you approach their house in the woods, down a long gravel driveway, you are greeted by a large timber posts supported on substantial stone columns.  This timber frame structure includes a hefty scissors truss and roof over the front porch.   The mixture of natural materials blends their home into the landscape – vertical and horizontal cedar siding, cedar shingles and stone.  The large flagstone front patio underneath a high timber framed roof provides a natural setting to sit out front enjoying the shade while awaiting visitors.

Upon entering through the oversized wooden front door, you are captured by the long views of the woods through the large glass wall beyond the greatroom.  The vertical posts framing and supporting these windows help to bring the outdoors inside by mimicking the trees beyond.

The house was designed with the outdoors in mind.  All the day-to-day main living areas (great room, dining, kitchen, screen porch) are all on the end of the house closest the lake and the dock.  When sitting at the dining area table you can enjoy long water views and quick access to the outdoors.  As you move towards the adjacent kitchen you are drawn outside to the screen porch through double swinging French doors that can be left open for easy access. 


HICKORY, NC - Jacqueline and Lee's retreat home on Lake Hickory is progressing quickly.  See More Photos!With open living on the first floor and bedrooms on the second floor, their custom home design compacts a lot into a small footprint - three bedrooms, 3.5 baths.  The steep 12/12 pitched roof affords room for a creative loft above the bedrooms.  A great place for the kids to play and sleep!  Windows are strategically placed throughout the design to bring in more than just light - they capture lake views while obstructing views of neighboring houses.   Later this spring they will be enjoying their lakeside setting from their rear deck!  View more photographs!


WEDDINGTON, NC - Karen and Rodney's timber framed great room has transformed their new custom house design into a home.  Although still under construction, you can appreciate the fine craftsmanship of our timber trusses.  As you enter the front door, you are greeted overhead by 18' wide timber trusses running the length of the entry and greatroom - the core of the home.  The curved timber braces adorning each post add both strength and beauty to the structure.  At the far end of the great room, a timber truss outlines the high arching windows which overlook a wooded setting - a sight to behold.

On the ceiling, soaring high above, the white pine tongue and groove boards blend naturally with the timber trusses and create a very relaxing and aesthetically appealing environment.  One the homeowners will enjoy for years to come as they entertain friends and family.

DAVIDSON, NC - The Yarborough's second Timberpeg home is complete. This 3000sf Low Country Design will provide the extra space they need including a large welcoming front porch overlooking the nearby street. The fine finish details on the inside of this 4b/3b home are incredible!   And it’s these details that really highlight the natural warmth of a Timberpeg. 

Antique Front Entry Door (& cat)As you enter the Yarborough’s home, the exterior (and interior) antique doors catch your eye.  To compliment this antiquity, wide plank antique heart pine floors are installed.  An interesting conversation piece is that these floors were reclaimed from timbers in an old downtown Charlotte warehouse where the new arena will soon be built.   Since the heart pine is such a rare and beautiful material, they elected to have custom built-in wall shelves installed in the great room.  Custom Heart Pine Cabinets & Granite CountertopsTo blend rooms, heart pine kitchen cabinets were built onsite and another natural material, marble, was chosen as the counter top.  Where heart pine floors aren’t used, several variations of natural earth-toned tile is installed. 

Ledgestone & Timber FireplaceThe blending of stone and timbers is an attractive technique the Yarborough's wanted to incorporate in the fireplace.  The inspiration came from a magazine photograph.  The ledgestone married with the eastern white pine timbers really adds character to the great room.

One of the most attractive features is the handmade antique heart pine stair rail and banisters with their copper inserts.  According to 25-year carpenter Tommy Dillard in his own modest way said, “I Custom Heart Pine Staircasebelieve they are the most beautiful railings I’ve ever built.”  All this custom detailing only enhances the natural beauty of a Timberpeg - one the Yarborough’s know well as they just moved from their 25-year old Timberpeg into this new upgraded one this past April.
