The Edgewood Acres Cedar Home is a striking example of how modern design can beautifully complement the warmth and tradition of classic cedar construction. Designed in collaboration with Beaver Mountain’s expert team, this custom home brings a refreshing, contemporary twist to log and timber living.
With just under 3,000 square feet of living space and four bedrooms, this thoughtfully designed layout offers an ideal balance of comfort and flexibility. One of the most defining features of Edgewood Acres is its abundance of natural light. Expansive gridless windows, accent windows throughout, and drywalled interior walls reflect sunlight and create a bright, open feel rarely found in traditional log homes.
The home’s entry is framed by a covered front porch, which leads into an open foyer and immediately sets the tone for what’s to come. The main level includes a two-car garage, primary suite, laundry room, and a spacious Great Room that flows effortlessly into the dining area and large eat-in kitchen.
The kitchen is a standout, blending clean lines with subtle character. The owners opted for bright white cabinetry with glass-door uppers, open shelving, and playful pops of color that introduce a sense of joy and personality to the space. The oversized island serves as a hub for everything from family dinners to entertaining, all while maintaining the kitchen’s sleek, modern feel.
In place of a traditional stone hearth, the Great Room features a sleek black tile fireplace, tying the space visually to the kitchen’s clean aesthetic. And while the design leans modern, it never loses its connection to nature. Cedar beams and accents throughout the home serve as a warm reminder of the home’s rustic roots.
The primary suite offers privacy and retreat, complete with a spa-like en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and its own private porch for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The main level is rounded out with a spacious, covered terrace off the Great Room, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living.
Upstairs, the home features an open loft, overlooking the Great Room below. This space is easily adaptable to fit your lifestyle—whether as a reading nook, home office, or media area. Three additional bedrooms on the second floor provide generous accommodations for family or guests, making this home ideal for both everyday living and extended stays.
Edgewood Acres is a beautiful reflection of what’s possible when timeless materials meet modern sensibilities. By collaborating closely with Beaver Mountain’s in-house design team, the homeowners were able to create a custom cedar home that blends rustic elegance with contemporary flair, tailored perfectly to their taste, lifestyle, and location.
Whether you’re dreaming of a modern cedar retreat in the Catskills, a bright timber home in the Adirondacks, or a vacation-worthy property anywhere in the Northeast, the Edgewood Acres design proves that no two Beaver Mountain homes are ever the same—and that’s exactly the point.
