OTHING BEATS the charm
of a circa-1900s farmhouse,
but 100-year-old plumbing

the conclusion Christopher Vazquez
and Rick Davis came to. When
the couple decided to move to the
Maryland countryside, the old-house
enthusiasts hoped for an antique fixer-

“Most of them were money pits,” says
Rick. So, they pivoted and teamed up
with Rick’s brother, Wayne, a builder,
and crafted a good old-fashioned
saltbox on 27 picturesque acres. To
help the new build have a centuries-
old feel, they got savvy with materials:
reclaimed flooring in random
widths laid with old nails, period-

architectural finds like old columns,
beams, gates, and barn louvers. The
