The first floor opens from a foyer into a kitchen flanked by a dining area and a great room with a fireplace. A mud room, mechanical space, and washer/dryer sit near the 2-car garage. Stairs indicate a second level above. The layout runs 26 by 50 feet.
Floor Plan
Upper level groups the primary suite and two secondary bedrooms around a central loft that doubles as a living space.
Rocking Chairs and Sliding Doors Make This Backyard Patio Worth Staying In
White vinyl siding wraps a two-story colonial rear elevation with grid-pane windows and a sliding glass door that opens directly onto a concrete patio. Two rocking chairs with cushions anchor the space. Landscaped beds with ornamental grasses and flowering perennials soften the transition from lawn to foundation.
Common Mistake: Homeowners often place patio furniture too close to the house, blocking egress from sliding doors and making the space feel cramped. Pull seating at least four feet from the threshold to give the door room to swing and let foot traffic flow naturally. A pair of rockers positioned mid-patio, as shown here, gets that balance right.
Wicker Baskets and Warm Wood Pull This Entryway Together
The console table’s lower shelf holds four wicker baskets that actually earn their keep. A geometric pendant overhead adds edge without competing.
- Baskets on lower shelves keep floor space clear for foot traffic
- A small lamp on the console warms the entry without overhead lighting, doing all the work
- A potted plant near the window pulls in color from outside without requiring the maintenance of cut flowers
Stone Fireplace and Fall Views Make This Living Room Hard to Leave
Natural stone runs floor to ceiling on the fireplace wall, anchoring a seating arrangement built around a glass coffee table. Gray upholstery keeps things grounded while the windows do the work, pulling in autumn color that no paint choice could match.
Style Tip: Mounting a TV above a fireplace looks cohesive, but it positions the screen well above eye level. If you go this route, opt for a tilting wall mount so you can angle the display downward. Your neck will thank you after a long movie.
Marble Island and Lantern Pendants Set the Tone in This Farmhouse Kitchen
Paired lantern pendants anchor the dark island below, which seats five and contrasts sharply against white upper cabinets. Herringbone tile backsplash and a panel-ready range hood keep the look grounded.
History Corner: Farmhouse kitchens draw heavily from the utilitarian design of 19th-century American working farms, where large central tables served both food prep and family gathering. That dual-purpose concept is exactly what today’s oversized islands replicate. The style gained renewed popularity in the early 2000s as open-plan living pushed kitchens into social spaces.
Carpet, Recessed Lighting, and Fall Color Outside Every Window
Warm greige walls and wall-to-wall carpet keep this loft-style family room quiet and comfortable. A low media console with open storage sits directly below the TV at proper viewing height. Beyond the glass, fall foliage pulls in color that no paint swatch could replicate.
In The Details: Carpeting in upper-level bonus rooms does more than feel soft underfoot. It absorbs sound traveling between floors, which matters when the room below is a bedroom or home office. Loop pile and cut-pile blends tend to hold up better in high-traffic seating areas than plush styles.
Carpeted Master Suite Opens to Ensuite Bath and a Sitting Room Beyond
Dark dresser grounds the neutral palette without competing with the gray bedding. Two doors off the back wall lead to a lit ensuite and what looks like a separate sitting room.
Trend Alert: Dual-door layouts in master suites, one to the bath and one to a sitting area or flex room, are gaining ground in new construction. Buyers increasingly want a private retreat zone separate from the sleeping area. It’s a layout shift that used to show up only in custom builds but is now appearing in spec homes.
Marble Walls and a Walk-In Shower Make This Ensuite Hard to Rush Through
Calcutta marble runs floor to ceiling inside the walk-in shower, then carries over to the vanity countertop for continuity. Wall-mounted sconces flank the dark-framed mirror instead of an overhead bar, which gives the lighting a more flattering, even spread across the face.
