The Langer home plan is located in a clearing on 43 acres of wooded land along the Caney Fork River near Sparta, Tenn. The house features a heavy timber roof system, a 240 SF loft, an outdoor dining room and separate outdoor living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a full walkout basement. Timber frame components of stained Douglas Fir, dark hickory floors, Engelmann spruce tongue-and-groove ceilings, pine trim and molding, a heavy wood front door, stained glass, reproduction fixtures, use of hand-cut natural stone both inside and out and the tile and cabinetry choices in the kitchen and bath evoke the Adirondack lodge, arts-and-crafts architectural style popular in the early 1900s desired by the homeowners. The look is further enhanced on the exterior by multiple green metal-covered gables positioned at various angles, heavy timber beams, handcrafted stonework and painted Hardie board that affords the look of wood siding without the maintenance.
