The Fernwood is a Family Home that You and Your Loved Ones can Always Happily Come Back to
There’s just something about this space that makes it come off homely and welcoming. Perhaps, it’s the facade’s light-colored siding that contrasts with darker shingles, creating a visually appealing design. Or maybe it’s the white columns that support the covered porch, providing a welcoming sheltered entryway. Large windows, too, some accented with dark blue shutters, allow ample natural light to enter the home, enhancing the inviting atmosphere. Whatever it is, this is a place I’d love to see after a drive back from work everyday.
Main Floor Plan
The floor plan showcases a thoughtfully designed main level with an open concept layout. The entrance leads into a welcoming foyer, flanked by a dining room and opening into a great room featuring a vaulted ceiling and fireplace. The kitchen, adjacent to the great room, provides easy access to the breakfast area with an e-space for convenience. The layout efficiently integrates a mudroom that connects to a spacious garage and a utility room, leading to the master bedroom with a cathedral ceiling and en suite bathroom. Additional features include a screen porch and an outdoor patio with a spa, promoting an active lifestyle for the occupants.

A Small Tree Garden Sits in the Foreground, Contributing to its Pleasant Greenery
Light-colored siding covers the exterior walls, complementing the meticulously cared-for front yard. Sparse placement of trees and shrubs in the yard provides an open feel, with straw mulch neatly arranged around their bases. The structure sits on a small brick foundation and features a welcoming front porch with white railings, suggesting a cozy atmosphere. Large windows on the facade flood the interior with natural light, while a satellite dish beside the house suggests the presence of modern conveniences.
Naturally Lit Foyer with Glass-Paneled Door and Transom
The foyer in this house plan showcases a welcoming entrance with a white door featuring multiple glass panes that allow abundant natural light into the space. Above the door, a transom window further enhances the brightness of the entryway. To the right, a staircase with dark wooden treads and white risers draws the eye upwards, offering a contrast against the neutral-toned walls. Decorative wainscoting adds an elegant touch to the lower half of the walls, complementing the overall design of this inviting space.
Bright Room with Arched Window and Tray Ceiling
The walls in this room are painted in a neutral light color, complemented by wainscoting that enhances visual interest and texture.
