#stone house

This 1996 horse farm in Ontario,  Canada is insane. 2bd. 3ba. $2.789M. If you’re into stone houses and rustic wood, you gotta see this. (The only thing is, why did they build such a big place w/only 2bs?)

Check out this main room- the ceiling, stone walls and archways. 

At the far end of this main room is a cozy family room area w/a great view.

Isn’t this amazing?

The stone is made to look like ancient stone walls that are fitted together w/o mortar.

Look at that ladder going all the way up into the eaves.

Interesting flat fireplace façade is made especially for a wood stove. 

A sunken living room surrounded by bar area with a mezzanine overhead.

Beautiful bar, isn’t it?

The kitchen cabinetry is stunning, but I’m not lovin’ the flooring. They picked fancy cabinetry, but the floors look like they belong in a barn. 

To the right of the kitchen is a dining room w/a spectacular fireplace.

Isn’t the fireplace stunning?

I even like the laundry room- two-tone cabinetry and an adorable vintage sink.

Here’s an interesting rec  room- notice the sleigh. Stairs lead to the 2 bds. on the 2nd level.

I think that this is the main bath, beautiful claw foot tub and what appears to be a fireplace. 

The large main bd. is big enough for a full living room area and I like the way they put the bed in its own niche.

Very sophisticated walk-in closet. 

And, this is the 2nd bd. I still say that there should be at least 3 bds. in a home this size.

Beautiful pool w/a waterfall feature.

The patio area is extensive, and check out the size of the outdoor kitchen. You can have tons of guests, but no one can stay overnight, b/c there’s only 2 bedrooms! Maybe they did that deliberately, but then to ask $2.7M for a house w/2 bds. is going to be a hard sell.

Now, we come to the horse barn, b/c this is, after all, a horse farm.

Hello. 

Look at how huge this is. 

And, it even has a gigantic training area.

This home is definitely centered around horses. I wonder if they come with it.

The Dar al-Hajar (Rock Palace or Stone House) Wadi Dhar, YEMEN

[hometoursandotherstuff]

From a distance, this may look like an ordinary stone façade on a raised ranch home. But, upon closer look, you can see the details of the stone work, such as butterflies, birds, flowers & hearts. The 4bd. 1ba. home in Larksville, Pennsylvania already sold for $222,900.

Let’s first go down to the ground level family room. 

The decorative stone continues inside with curving pony walls, arched bricks and pillars. The interior walls also have stone designs. 

The family room fireplace feature wall in the family room. 

The rest of the home is disappointingly plain. The living room is the same mundane style you’d see in any raised ranch.

The kitchen is terribly dated and depressing.

The bedrooms are boring.

And, so is this dated bath.

However, this shower room on the ground floor also has the stonework pizazz.

There’s also a large area with 2 different style stone walls.

Look at this- they got a small shelving unit to fit under that arch to make a desk. Note the stone art in the wall. 

The ceilings down here are done in a copper-y color that gives off a warm vibe to complement the stone. 

In the back is the typical deck off the kitchen. 

The yard is standard, but what strikes me as a little odd is the shed. I’ve never seen one facing backward.
