fter more than 30 years of building and reselling homes, Steve and Traci Burges have created their forever home. h The couple put their knowledge of building and design to good use, blending turn-of-the-century Crafts- man-style details with modern amenities, to create a spacious gather- ing place for family and friends. h “Our goal was for this to look like an old farmhouse,” Traci says. “I love that old, authentic farmhouse look.” h She has always been drawn to old farmhouses, but Steve, an executive broker at Gilbert Realty, would remind her actual farmhouses have drafts and poor plumbing. h They completed their 3,000-square- foot, farmhouse-style home nearly four years ago with builder Alan Pinkston, reworking a Southern Living Cottage of the Year floorplan so it functioned well on the lot. The home is on 8 acres that had been part of Traci’s family’s farmland in Mountain Home.
