Some families naturally become the gathering place, and they stop fighting it somewhere around the third consecutive weekend with a house full of other people’s kids. The Glennon is built around exactly that: an open main living area, a kitchen positioned to keep the cook in the conversation, and a covered deck that keeps the party outside even when the weather debates it.
Specifications
- Sq. Ft.: 1,838
- Bedrooms: 3
- Bathrooms: 2
Floor Plan – Main Floor
Single-level layout with an open kitchen, dining, and living core flanked by the master suite on one side and two secondary bedrooms sharing a bath on the other.
Floor Plan – Basement
The basement level shows a large unfinished open space at 35′-6″ x 34′-6″, a mechanical/storage room tucked into the lower-left corner, and a 50-foot covered patio running the full front width.
Double-Height Ceilings and French Doors Make This Living Room Hard to Leave
That pendant lamp does a lot of work in a room this tall.
The walnut-toned wood shade anchors the space without competing with the French doors flooding the floor with natural light. A lounge chair and ottoman pulled close to the glass read as a proper reading corner — not just filler furniture. Warm hardwood underfoot, neutral walls, clean lines throughout. It holds together because nothing is fighting for attention.
Marble Surround, Open Flame, and Tripod Lamps That Actually Pull Their Weight
White marble cladding runs floor to ceiling behind the fireplace, with the TV mounted flush into the slab rather than perched above a mantel. Two tripod floor lamps flank the hearth, matching drum shades, symmetrical without being fussy. The wood pendant overhead picks up the warm grain of the coffee table below, which is one of those small decisions that quietly ties a room together.
By The Numbers: Mounting a TV directly into a marble surround requires a low-profile bracket and careful stud placement behind the stone. Bioethanol fireplaces like the one shown don’t need a flue, which makes them worth considering for rooms where running a chimney isn’t feasible.
Barn Door, Beamed Ceiling, and a Dining Table That Earns Its Square Footage
Exposed ceiling beams and a barn door keep the open-plan space from feeling unmoored. The wood dining table pairs with upholstered chairs in soft gray — comfortable enough that people actually linger after the meal, which is the whole point of a dining room in a house like this.
Fun Fact: Barn doors on black steel hardware have become standard in open-plan homes because they don’t eat into floor space the way a swinging door does. The track extends well past the door panel itself, so plan for at least double the door width in clear wall space before you commit to the hardware placement.
Gold Faucet, Marble Counters, and a Kitchen Island That Invites You to Stay
Brass hardware runs through every cabinet and fixture in this kitchen — pulls, hinges, the bridge faucet centered over a farmhouse sink. Under-cabinet lighting warms the marble countertop without any overhead glare competing with it. It’s a lot of brass, done confidently enough that it works.
Brass hardware runs consistently through every cabinet and fixture here, including a bridge faucet that sits centered over a farmhouse sink.
Pendant Lights Hung Low and a Window That Frames the Trees Just Right
Two globe pendants drop close to the nightstands rather than floating at ceiling height, which keeps the lighting personal instead of theatrical. Warm taupe walls hold the natural light without bouncing it hard around the room. The upholstered headboard is deliberately understated — and that restraint is what lets the window view do the heavy lifting.
In The Details: Bedside pendants should hang with the bulb sitting roughly at shoulder height when you’re seated — too high and they become useless ceiling fixtures that don’t actually light your book. Cord-mounted versions let you fine-tune the drop after installation without committing to a fixed position.
Black Door Hardware, Matte Faucets, and a Vanity That Earns Every Inch
Rolled towels tucked into open shelving below the marble countertop keep the vanity looking organized without demanding much effort. The dark door with a gold pull adds contrast — present enough to register, quiet enough not to take over.
Material Matters: Frosted glass doors like the one on the right let light pass between rooms without giving up privacy. For any bathroom adjacent to a bedroom, they’re worth considering — solid doors can make tight hallways feel even narrower. The tinted version shown here diffuses glare while still borrowing natural light from the window beyond.
Pin It
The exterior rendering shows a modern two-story home with vertical siding, a flat roofline, and a covered deck spanning the full width. The floor plan beneath it lays out three bedrooms, an open kitchen and living area, a mud room with lockers, and a master suite with walk-in closet and tiled shower.
