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.
