The Bridgton: A 22' x 24' Year-Round Timber Frame Home

The Bridgton Cottage is a handcrafted timber frame home designed for year-round living in the Lake Region of Maine. This versatile 1.5-story structure offers a spacious second-floor master suite with a private bath, while the main level features an open kitchen and living area. Complementing the living space is a functional daylight basement, providing ample room for utilities and a dedicated workshop. Engineered for maximum thermal performance, the Bridgton is enclosed in a super-insulated SIP envelope, offering a bright and sustainable sanctuary that stays comfortable through every Maine season.

We hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed creating this very special BungalowInABox.
