Every architect who designs for couples eventually says some version of the same thing: the outdoor space is what separates a retreat from just a smaller house. The Amberglow Stone takes that seriously — covered patio anchoring the rear, open-concept living spilling straight toward it, and a cottage-scaled footprint that keeps the whole thing close without any room feeling like an afterthought.
Specifications
- Sq. Ft.: 2,264
- Bedrooms: 3
- Bathrooms: 2.5
Floor Plan – Main Floor
Three bedrooms split from a central kitchen and great room, with the master suite tucked privately off the dinette and two secondary bedrooms sharing a hall. Covered patio and two covered porches push the living space well beyond the walls.
Covered Patio That Earns Its Keep Year-Round
Stone column bases anchor the covered porch, which holds two plaid chairs and a low ottoman — the kind of setup that makes Tuesday evening feel like a long weekend. Sliding glass doors open the living space outward, and warm light from inside reaches the patio even in full daylight, so the transition between the two never feels abrupt.
Shiplap Walls and Glass Railings Make the Upstairs Landing Feel Intentional
Dark shiplap paneling wraps the landing and gives it a grounded, cabin-like quality without tipping all the way into rustic. Frosted glass panels on the stair railing preserve the sightlines, which matters more in a compact footprint than people tend to realize. A fiddle-leaf fig and a low bench by the windows pull their weight without crowding the floor.
Teal Dining Chairs Against a Wood Trestle Table Is a Combination Worth Stealing
Curved teal chairs with ribbed upholstery do a lot of heavy lifting here, softening the raw wood trestle table without competing with it. A cowhide layered under a woven rug adds texture underfoot. That bare-bulb chandelier cluster keeps the whole thing from going too cozy.
Color Story: Warm gray walls read almost white in natural light, which lets the teal seating carry all the color weight without needing backup. Wood tones on the table and chair legs pull the floor into the palette without matching it exactly — close enough to feel intentional, different enough to stay interesting.
Star Pendant Lights and Gold Barstools Make This Kitchen Hard to Forget
Moravian star pendants hung over a marble-topped island handle most of the decorative work in this kitchen. The drum-style barstools in aged gold hold their own underneath them — a pairing that could have gone wrong but doesn’t.
Fun Fact: Moravian star lights trace back to 18th-century German classrooms, where students originally made them as a geometry exercise. They’ve since found a second life in coastal and cottage interiors, prized for having actual history behind them rather than just a passing trend. Hanging them in a kitchen rather than a grand entryway is a less expected call — and here it pays off.
Brass-Framed Coffee Table and a Lit Fireplace Set the Tone for This Sitting Room
A woven pendant, leather ottoman, and a chess set on the coffee table give this room actual personality. Not every sitting room manages that.
- Placing the TV above a working fireplace keeps the focal wall unified without requiring built-ins on either side
- A glass-top coffee table keeps sightlines open in a room with two sofas facing each other
- Mixing a linen sofa with wood-frame accent chairs prevents the seating arrangement from feeling too matched
Sage Walls and Globe Pendants Make This Dining Room Feel Like a Restaurant Worth Returning To
Globe pendants cluster overhead like a mobile, casting warm pooled light across the wood table below. White upholstered chairs keep the sage walls from getting too heavy on the room. The sideboard’s fluted front detail is easy to miss in photos and worth a second look.
By The Numbers: Roman shades split the difference between curtains and blinds — they block light without losing the softness that hard blinds sacrifice. Linen versions like the striped shade here hold their shape better over time than cotton, and for large window openings they tend to be one of the more practical window treatment options available.
Sage Board-and-Batten Behind the Bed Does More Work Than Any Headboard Could
Exposed ceiling beams, wide-plank floors, and a floating wood ledge stacked with art and sculpture give this bedroom a layered quality that somehow doesn’t tip into clutter. The sage green paneling anchors the whole wall behind the bed — grounding the cream bedding and warm brown accents without overwhelming either of them.
Ask Yourself: Floating shelves above the bed are an underused alternative to art hung directly on the wall. You can swap objects seasonally without patching holes, and the depth gives room for sculptural pieces that a flat canvas simply can’t accommodate.
Pin It
The exterior rendering shows a stucco-and-stone cottage with a steep dormer and covered front porch. The floor plan beneath it lays out three bedrooms, a great room with 10-foot ceilings, a rear covered patio, and a side-entry garage.
