New Floor Plan Added to Davis Frame Website

timber frame floor plan


Check out Davis Frame's latest floor plan! This custom hybrid timber frame floor plan features timber framing in the main living areas including the great room, dining room and kitchen. The remainder of the plan was designed to be conventionally built. Building a hybrid timber frame is a great way to save money on building your new home without sacrificing the beauty of a timber frame.


The Fernwood Point can be built with or without the finished basement plan. The finished basement adds an additional 1,300 SF to the 2,000 SF home. Finishing a basement can be a cost effective way to add living space to your new home. The basement plan is flexible and can be modified to suit your needs.


The first floor features an open great room, kitchen and dining room. The master bedroom suite is also located on the first floor. The plan also includes an attached two car garage.



The second floor hosts two guest bedrooms, a full bathroom and a loft that is perfect for a sitting area or a small office.
