Self-made people don’t finally build what they always wanted by defaulting to a conventional layout. The Crestline is built around something more specific: a finished walkout that turns the lower level into actual living space, a loft that creates separation without a closed door, and a modern exterior that looks like a deliberate choice rather than the path of least resistance.
Specifications
- Sq. Ft.: 3,982
- Bedrooms: 4
- Bathrooms: 4.5
Floor Plan – Main Floor
The primary bedroom and walk-in closet sit at the rear of the main floor, pulled away from the entry and family room. A service pantry backs the kitchen, and between the four-car garage capacity, two covered porches, and a deck, this plan has more outdoor range and storage utility than most people think to ask for until they’ve lived without it.
Floor Plan – Second Floor
All four bedrooms land on the upper level, with Bedrooms Three and Four sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath. Bedroom Two sits adjacent to a loft that opens to the floor below — enough breathing room between kids and parents that everyone gets some privacy without the house feeling carved up into separate wings.
Floor Plan – Basement
Three rec rooms, a bar, sauna, exercise room, and guest suite make up the lower level. The covered patio connects directly to the main rec space, so the indoor-outdoor flow works here the same way it does upstairs. Unfinished storage keeps the practical stuff out of sight and out of mind.
Warm Light Catches Stone Columns and Stacked Glass on the Back Elevation
Shot from across what looks like a golf course fairway, the rear facade layers stone veneer columns against stucco and floor-to-ceiling glass on two levels. Wood posts frame a covered balcony mid-level, dry-stacked rock grounds the base, and the upper story pushes out as a glass box that catches whatever light is left in the evening. It’s the kind of elevation that’s hard to pull off and very easy to recognize when someone got it right.
It reads like someone finally built exactly what they sketched on a napkin.
Double-Height Glass and a Stone Fireplace Wall Built for Wide-Open Country Views
Floor-to-ceiling windows on two walls frame rolling plains and distant mountains without a curtain in sight. Pendant clusters drop from the vaulted ceiling like scattered glass orbs, and cognac leather chairs face a cream sectional across a wood and marble coffee table arrangement that keeps the seating from floating loose in all that volume.
Worth Knowing: Rooms with two-story window walls gain natural light but lose thermal efficiency fast. Pairing high-performance glazing with a stone fireplace like this one helps offset the heat loss without closing off the view — but it’s a trade-off worth planning for early in the build, well before the windows are ordered.
Black Island Base, Marble Slab Top, and Brass Fixtures That Mean Business
Warm oak cabinetry wraps the perimeter while the island breaks from it entirely — matte black base, thick marble countertop, brass pulls and a pull-down faucet keeping the hardware consistent throughout. That trailing greenery beside the sink looks effortless, though it probably isn’t.
History Corner: Brass fixtures cycled in and out of kitchen fashion for most of the 20th century before coming back as a staple of high-end design in the 2010s. Unlike chrome, unlacquered brass develops a patina over time, so fixtures in a working kitchen will look noticeably different a decade from now than they do on install day. Some homeowners request that finish on purpose.
Sliding Glass on Two Walls Turns Dinner Into a Front-Row Seat for the Range
Black-framed sliders on adjacent walls pull back to open the corner completely, which makes the dining area feel twice its actual footprint. The wood table and curved upholstered chairs keep things grounded, and outside, flat ranch land stretches toward distant peaks under a clouded sky — exactly the view you’d want behind a long dinner.
- Corner door systems let you open two walls independently or simultaneously
- Horizontal cable or flat-bar railings preserve sightlines better than traditional balusters
- Low-profile furniture scales better against tall glass than oversized pieces do
Open-Riser Treads, Horizontal Steel Rails, and Natural Light Pouring From Above
Floating oak treads anchored to a steel stringer give this staircase its open quality without sacrificing structure. Natural light drops in from what appears to be a skylight above, catching the wood grain on each step. Behind the glass partition, two circle paintings in black and white anchor a compact home office — a small detail, but it stops the space from reading as purely transitional.
Color Story: White oak stair treads tend to read warmer or cooler depending on the finish. A matte oil finish, like what appears here, pulls out the grain without the orange cast that polyurethane can introduce. It also scratches less visibly than a high-gloss coat — which matters on stairs more than almost anywhere else in the house.
Slatted Oak Headboard Wall and Wide Prairie Views from Every Corner
A vertical wood slat wall anchors the bed while clerestory windows frame open farmland beyond. Simple combination. Hard to argue with the result.
By The Numbers: Slatted wood accent walls have gained traction partly because they do acoustic work as well as visual work. The vertical ribs break up flat wall surfaces enough to diffuse sound, which makes a real difference in bedrooms positioned above living spaces. Pairing them with a tray ceiling, as done here, compounds that effect without any mechanical treatment involved.
Sculptural Soaking Tub Anchored by a Slab of Veined Stone Nobody Forgets
A freestanding white tub sits against a dramatic dark marble slab, brass floor-mount faucet completing the pairing. Two materials. Immediate impact.
Style Tip: Freestanding tubs look best when there’s enough floor clearance to walk comfortably on all sides. Mounting the faucet as a floor-standing fixture rather than drilling into the tub itself keeps the silhouette clean and makes future plumbing repairs much simpler. If a statement stone slab like this one is on your list, book-matching two slabs creates a mirrored vein pattern that reads even more dramatically at full scale.
