Gary and Janet Bohn always loved Arts and Crafts-style homes, but didn't want to deal with the upkeep on a century-old structure. So they decided on new construction. In 1998 they had a home built on a wooded lot in Plymouth using a modified floor plan designed by architect and author Sarah Susanka. Over the next two years, the couple did the finishing work, which included extensive Craftsman-inspired oak woodwork and period-style stained-glass windows. After it was finished, the Bohns' gabled two-story home was featured in American Bungalow magazine.

Other features:

• 3,302 square feet with three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

• The 1 1/2-acre lot is on a nature preserve near Medicine Lake.

• The master bedroom has a stained-glass window in the walk-in closet to bring in natural light.

• Arts and Crafts-style cabinet hardware.

• A fireplace in the master bedroom with a hammered-copper surround.

• Vintage Bradberry & Bradberry wallpaper and period light fixtures.

• Boxed-beamed ceilings in the kitchen and dining room.

• A four-season sunroom with stone floors.

• A floor-to-ceiling, wood-burning fireplace made of cobblestone.

• Screened porch with vaulted ceilings and skylights off the back of the house.

• A koi pond and waterfall in the back yard.

• The walk-out lower level offers room for expansion.
