Teenagers with their own space still find reasons to come downstairs — a loft just changes the math, giving them somewhere to land that feels like theirs without anyone having to leave the house entirely. The Foxhaven Grove is built around exactly that tension: an upstairs loft that keeps the teens in orbit, an open main floor where dinner conversations stretch past nine, and a contemporary layout that holds two schedules, two noise levels, and one family without anyone feeling crowded out.
Specifications
- Sq. Ft.: 3,736
- Bedrooms: 4
- Bathrooms: 3.5
Floor Plan – Main Floor
The main floor puts the family room, kitchen, and dining at the rear, with an entry hall bridging to a guest bedroom, office, and laundry/mud room up front. Two garage bays plus a separate single-car garage flank the right side, and the staircase makes clear there’s a full upper level worth getting to.
Floor Plan – Second Floor
The upper floor covers 1,648 square feet split between three bedrooms, a loft, and two full baths. The master sits privately on the left with its own bath. Bedrooms Two and Three share a Jack-and-Jill setup on the right, and a covered terrace plus an open-to-below section carve out breathing room between the two wings.
Editor’s Note: Bedrooms Two and Three cluster around their shared bath at the far end of the floor, well clear of the master suite, with the loft sitting between the two zones like a deliberate buffer. It’s a layout that actually reflects how families with older kids use a house – rather than just assuming everyone wants to be near everyone else.
Floor Plan – Basement
The lower level keeps a recreation area anchored by a landing, with a bathroom rough-in and stair access up. Unfinished storage wraps three sides — finish it later without ever touching the livable core.
Warm Light Spills from Every Window at Golden Hour
Board-and-batten siding meets stucco in a combination that reads casual but deliberate. At golden hour, the interior lights take over and do most of the work.
Ask Yourself: Before committing to a two-story layout like this one, think about where your teenagers will actually spend time. If the answer is “anywhere but near us,” a dedicated upper wing earns its square footage fast. Loft spaces in particular give kids a landing zone that keeps the common areas calmer for everyone else.
Stone Fireplace, Live-Edge Coffee Table, and Mountains Out Every Window
Cedar planks clad the fireplace surround floor to ceiling, and the stone base grounds it without competing. That live-edge coffee table on hairpin legs is the right call for a room this open — it brings warmth without visually closing anything off. The Front Range views through those black-frame windows do a lot of heavy lifting on their own.
History Corner: Vaulted great rooms became popular in American residential design during the post-war suburban expansion, when builders started competing on ceiling height as a marker of quality. Cedar accent walls have roots in craftsman and lodge traditions going back well over a century. Black window frames, by contrast, are a relatively recent revival borrowed from industrial loft architecture — which makes this room a quiet collision of three different eras.
Navy Cabinets, Warm Wood Island, and a View Worth Designing Around
A knotty wood island base pairs with a white quartz countertop and leather barstools, while a herringbone tile backsplash runs behind open shelving with mountain views framed through black-frame windows beyond.
Why the Island Base Material Matters More Than You’d Think
Knotty alder and similar character-grade woods carry natural imperfections that actually hide everyday scuffs better than a painted finish ever could. Over years of family use, that’s not a small thing. Cabinet doors can be repainted on a weekend. Swapping out an island base is a full demolition job, so getting that material right early saves real money down the line.
Reclaimed Wood Slider, Black Chandelier, and Dining Chairs That Mean Business
Napoleon-back chairs with honey-stained seats pull up to a dark wood table beneath a wagon-wheel chandelier with exposed Edison bulbs. The reclaimed wood barn door is the real conversation starter: it slides across a black steel frame, and the weathered grain reads almost silver against all that white drywall.
By The Numbers: Black window frames have surged in popularity over the past decade partly because they photograph well, but there’s a functional argument too. Darker frames recede visually against bright exteriors, pulling your eye toward the view rather than the grid dividing it. Stack multiple window openings the way this room does, and that effect compounds fast.
Horizontal Rails, Warm Oak Treads, and a Double-Height Foyer That Actually Earns the Space
Black horizontal railings run the full length of both the staircase and the upper loft balcony, with a wood cap rail tying them back to the oak treads below. That consistency keeps a lot of metal from reading cold. Hardwood floors stretch across the entire main level without a seam in sight, and the geometry of that staircase turn is genuinely sharp — the kind of detail that doesn’t show up in the specs but lands the moment you’re standing in the room.
Black Sleigh Bed, Teal Pillows, and Mountain Views Through Six Windows
Clerestory windows above the main row keep the sky visible even when the shades are drawn. Dark wood against white walls earns its contrast here without needing any help.

Freestanding Tub, Bamboo Caddy, and a Plant That Has No Business Looking That Good Indoors
That dracaena marginata earns its place — the spiky silhouette softens the hard chrome of the floor-mount faucet in a way nothing else in the room could. The bamboo bath caddy is adjustable, which matters more than it sounds when you’re actually using it rather than just photographing it. White walls keep everything calm without trying too hard.
Common Mistake: Many homeowners place freestanding tubs near walls out of habit, but a floor-mount faucet like this one requires a supply line running up through the subfloor — so placement has to be locked in before that floor is finished. Moving it afterward is a costly fix that often just gets deferred until the next renovation.
Pin It
The exterior shot shows a modern farmhouse with warm interior lighting glowing through the windows and a covered porch running across the front. Below it, the main floor plan lays out 2,088 square feet with garages, a guest bedroom, an office, and the open living spaces at the rear.
