  • As a kid playing in the hayloft of his parents’ dusty 80-year-old barn in Medina, Ohio, Andrew Towne never imagined that one day he would convert the space into a stunning modern home for himself and his then elementary school friend Crystal Madrilejos. But decades later, that’s exactly what happened. See how this family of four converted nan 80-year-old barn into a warm, cozy home with a one-of-a-kind exposed interior roof frame.

    It looks way bigger inside than outside.

      That's partially due to the wide angle lens most the interior shots were filmed with.

    In all my 48 years, I've only come across a mere three homes with an open plan floor that I've liked.
    This makes #4. I can also somehow see past the white, which again, proves how good a job was done here.
    An absolutely outstanding home.

    I sure am glad they didn't get one of the designers from HGTV to design and decorate their barn because they would have painted all that beautiful wood. The transition from barn to house was absolutely perfect.

    jaw dropping , what a magnificent conversion , and look at that cavernous interior , the ceiling height , spacious , especially with a family , that staircase is simple yet magnificent , love the practical elements such as the outside bank leading up to the first floor , when you start from scratch you can add these touches and plan your house how you want it . they also had a graet architect with some graet ideas and advice . I wish they gave measurements such as square footage and the height of that ceiling . if this homw was mine , I would never want to move anywhere else
