Welcome to The Silo House, an award-winning Sheedy Watts design where modern architecture feels remarkably warm, relaxed and livable. Reimagined from the crawl space up in 2020, this 2,110-square-foot home was designed for gathering-from holiday celebrations around the richly grained Patagonia wood island to football afternoons beside the fireplace.

The open kitchen and great room are filled with natural light from elevated windows and a dramatic vaulted ceiling, yet the space retains the cozy character that makes everyone want to stay. A wall of glass opens to the vaulted screened porch, extending daily life outdoors for morning coffee, dinners with friends and cool fall evenings.

The kitchen pairs generous cabinetry and workspace with a double kegerator and beer taps, while the oversized mudroom/laundry adds exceptional everyday function. The main-level primary suite offers privacy and a spacious bath; upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a full bath, and the loft/office flexes easily for work, exercise or reading.

Outside, mature landscaping and a tall privacy fence create a secluded setting, complemented by a storage shed and multiple porch spaces. Distinctive tower forms, layered rooflines and warm timber details give the home an unforgettable presence. The 2020 transformation earned a 2023 Bronze Master Design Award and a 2023 regional Chrysalis Award and was featured on the July 2024 cover of Qualified Remodeler. This is more than a renovation-it is a thoughtful, one-of-a-kind home designed around the way people truly live.
