HISTORY & RENOVATION/BUILDING SPECS: When we bought 124 Shouldice in 2012 the primary farmhouse was long gone and all that remained as a residence was a small granny suite built some 100 years. With no insulation and cracked single pain windows, we renovated with the hopes of maintaining the old country charm, keeping original wood floors and staircase as well as pressed metal ceiling throughout. Although weathered, the original wood siding gave character and had a story to tell so rather than cover it over we spruced it up with countless coats of stain to bring it back to life. Things we focused on during this reno and the subsequent build of the addition are warmth, energy efficiency, space efficiency, simplicity, and creating a bright welcoming space where one can observe the beauty of the surrounding countryside Original house: 2013: Fully gutted the interior, replacing electrical, plumbing and insulation, including: Spray foam insulation throughout New woodstove and chimney Fully tiled bathroom with dual showers, bathtub and radiant floor heating. New windows on main level, including four triple-pane windows New kitchen cabinets (no doors) 2019: Re-stained the wood siding. Addition: 1 story, 2 bedroom plus walk-out basement 2015: Expanded the original house with an addition, including: Foundation made of insulated concrete forms (ICF) Slab with radiant floors in basement Mudroom with radiant heat Half-bath with radiant heat and custom vanity All new triple-pane windows and double-pane patio doors Metal roof Large covered porch on two sides with glass railing Living room with wood floors and cathedral ceiling Walk-out basement with high ceiling Plans for full bath and laundry space Farming infrastructure: ·Outbuildings include: -Large barn equipped with cattle headgate -Small barn has power and water -Woodshed next to house -Tin garden shed next to house -Outhouse -Two chicken coops -Machine shed across the road · Electricity at a pole by the chicken coop · All-season automatic livestock waterers at three locations in barnyard · Fields are currently hayed annually by a local farmer · Various fruit trees (apple, plum, cherry) and grape vines · No perimeter fencing |
