Tour this converted barn with stunning views and a rich history

This 1,720-square-foot house is situated on 14 acres of land on the San Juan Islands of Washington state. We love the peaked roof and the front doors flanked by iron sconces. It’s a modern look, but still hearkens back to its rural past.

When you walk through the front door, you can see all the way through to the back deck. The wooden staircase, the kitchen, living room, and dining area are all located off this grand foyer.

Here is one of the seating areas on the main floor. The old wood-burning stove looks as if it’s original to the house and perfectly complements the wood and leather furnishings. Rather than hardwood floors, the house has patinated cement floors, which are more durable and easy to clean.

The kitchen is spacious with an island that doubles as a breakfast bar, a large farmhouse-style sink, and sleek stainless steel appliances. The open shelving along one of the walls is a great spot to display dishes and family photos, while the slim counter underneath is the perfect perch for cookbooks.

Here’s another seating area on the first floor, which is outfitted with a plush leather sofa and flatscreen TV. Thanks to the house’s secluded location, this long horizontal window doesn’t need to be covered with blinds. While this table is the ideal size for playing cards, we’d swap it for a 12-seater farmhouse-style table for big family dinners.

Since the second floor is about a third of the size of the main floor, the second-storey bedrooms are small and narrow. That said, they each can accommodate a double bed, dresser and extra space for a chair. And let’s not forget about the views.

At the back of the house is this incredible deck. We envision plenty of potted plants, a dining set, seating area, and an outdoor bar.
