Take a walk through this Custom Canadian Farmhouse

Once you take a look at the pictures below you will begin to understand the uniqueness of this farmhouse located near Port Perry, Ontario, Canada.  While many new homes are finished with modern materials like vinyl siding and asphalt shingles, the owners of Walnut Farm chose to take a different approach when building their forever home.  The stone exterior of the home was constructed with the careful, and experienced, hand of a local stone mason.  The cedar shingles and gables, as well as the copper gutters, reference the quality of homes built centuries ago.
The interior of the home continues in the style of the exterior with its combination of modern and rustic materials.  Concrete floors create the foundation of the main floor while antique doors, salvaged from an 1800's farmhouse, provide a passageway into the rooms on the second floor.  Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully laid out and carefully constructed with many details made by the homeowners themselves, Angela and Josh Wheeler.  For example, when searching for the perfect door for the front of the home Josh took it on himself to design and weld a custom steel and glass door to suite their needs.  The end result (as seen below) is breathtaking.  This home has so many wonderful architectural details and finishes that it deserves a second look (or even a third).
