Anyone who has ever locked themselves in the bathroom just to finish a thought knows exactly why a bonus room is not a luxury — it is the room where you remain a functioning adult. The Graywood is built around that need, with a dedicated bonus room the kids can be explicitly uninvited from, an open main floor that absorbs the after-school noise, and a modern transitional layout that keeps the household running without swallowing you whole.
Specifications
- Sq. Ft.: 3,171
- Bedrooms: 3
- Bathrooms: 2.5
Floor Plan – Main Floor
Single-story layout with three bedrooms, office, and a living-dining-kitchen great room that runs the spine of the house. The primary suite gets separate his-and-hers closets and a screened patio, with a gun safe tucked beside the pantry.
Floor Plan – Second Floor
Upper level shows an open loft, the bonus room, and a staircase landing connecting down to the bedroom wings.
Style Math: Loft plus bonus room gives parents an actual door to close. At 21 feet wide, the bonus room runs large enough for a home theater or a dedicated office that isn’t pulling double duty as a homework table. Kids get the open loft. Grown-ups get the room with a wall.
White Stucco and Dark Rooflines Give This Exterior a Lot of Personality
Warm light spills from multiple windows at dusk, making the stucco facade feel lived-in rather than sterile. That covered side entry is doing real work.

Step inside and the open-concept layout starts making a lot more sense.
Red Retro Fridge Earns Its Place in an Otherwise Understated Kitchen
That red Smeg refrigerator punches hard against the white cabinetry and dark countertops — everything else in the room seems to know its job is to stay out of the way. Gray sofas with dark wood frames anchor the living area, and the French doors pull the outside light in nicely.
Cream Stools and a Red Smeg Walk Into a Kitchen — Actually, It Works
Black granite flecked with silver keeps the island grounded while the white cabinetry stays quiet. Three cream shell-back stools pull up without competing, and the stainless hood is smart enough to stay neutral. The Smeg in cherry red does all the talking.
Color Story: Cream and off-white read as warm neutrals here because the floor is light-toned wood rather than cool gray. One saturated accent — that red fridge — does more for a kitchen’s personality than mixing several mid-tone colors ever could. If you’re drawn to retro appliances, keep every other finish simple so the piece actually lands.
Overhead View Reveals How the Island Does Most of the Heavy Lifting
From the loft, you can see how the island’s double sink sits noticeably off-center, pushed toward the living side so prep space runs long on the left — a small decision that pays off every time someone is cooking and someone else is unloading groceries. Three stools on one side keep traffic from cutting through. The red Smeg anchors the back wall without competing with anything else in the room.
Style Tip: Granite with heavy movement, like the dark speckled surface on this island, visually absorbs clutter better than solid or matte surfaces. In an open-plan layout where the kitchen is always on display, that texture carries a lot of quiet weight.
Gravity-Fed Bedroom Design Where the Low Bed Does More Than You’d Think
Dropping the bed platform this close to the floor pulls the eye down and makes the ceiling read taller than it probably is. Simple trick, and it works. The charcoal throw across the footboard adds weight where the pale bedding would otherwise drift into looking unfinished.
Pin It
The top half shows a modern transitional exterior with gray stucco, dark rooflines, and a mix of clerestory and standard windows. Below it, the floor plan lays out a single-level footprint spanning 78 feet wide — three bedrooms, a dedicated office, his-and-hers closets off the primary suite, and a rear patio running nearly 36 feet long.
