A Timber Frame Home Rooted in Place
The North Waldoboro House pairs traditional timber-frame construction with an open, light-filled layout designed for everyday living. Exposed structural timbers create a natural rhythm throughout the interior, connecting the kitchen, dining, and gathering spaces while giving each room warmth and definition. Built-in seating, a handcrafted staircase, and carefully integrated millwork make the home feel personal and considered. Radiant heat beneath the first-floor flooring and softly pigmented plaster walls add comfort and depth, balancing rustic materials with a refined finish.

Giving Local Materials a New Life
Much of the interior wood was salvaged from barns in the surrounding area, then de-nailed, thickness-planed, and refashioned by hand. Wide pine became the first-floor flooring, while former horse-stall hemlock was used for countertops and stair treads. Thick-plank doors finished with iron pintle strap hinges preserve the material’s agricultural character and allow the history of the reclaimed wood to remain visible throughout the home.
