The double garage closes more deals than the primary suite — bikes, sports gear, the car that actually fits in winter, teenagers pulling in at odd hours while someone else is still finishing homework at the kitchen island. The Hollyhill is built around exactly that rhythm: an open-concept kitchen anchoring the main floor, a Craftsman exterior that ages into a neighborhood rather than fighting it, and a two-story layout that gives everyone just enough space to scatter before pulling them back together.

Floor Plan – Main Floor
The first floor runs family room, dining, and kitchen in an open sequence across the back, with a mudroom and half bath slotting in between the garage and the living area. A foyer and pantry anchor the right side, and the stairs climb from the left.
Floor Plan – Second Floor
All four bedrooms sit on the second floor, with the primary suite at the south end and a walk-in closet connecting directly to the private bath.
Dark Slate Siding That Earns Its Place Against a Green Backdrop
Charcoal lap siding against crisp white window trim is one of those combinations that looks obvious in hindsight but still gets executed badly all the time. Here it works — ornamental grasses and hostas along the foundation bed soften the contrast without muddying it, and the whole exterior reads as confident rather than overdressed.
Navy Island, White Cabinets, and Three Pendants That Mean Business
The navy island base does a lot of heavy lifting in a kitchen that could’ve gone cold fast. White cabinetry and marble-look countertops trend sterile without something to anchor them, and the herringbone backsplash and orb pendants add enough texture to keep the room from feeling like a showroom floor.
Color Story: Cream perimeter cabinets against a navy island is a contrast that holds up because neither color is competing for attention. Warm oak flooring bridges the two tones without matching either one directly — it’s the kind of palette that looks just as good on a Tuesday morning as it does in listing photos.
Stone Fireplace Tower, Warm Mantel, and Views That Pull the Room Open
Rough-cut stone climbs floor to ceiling around the firebox, grounded by a reclaimed wood mantel. A gray sectional and cream armchairs face it naturally, and open countryside fills the windows beyond — no curtains interrupting any of it.
Trend Alert: Full-height stone surrounds are showing up in new builds as a way to anchor rooms that lack a single dominant wall. It works especially well here because the windows are already doing a lot on two sides — the stone gives the eye somewhere to land so the room doesn’t feel like it’s pulling in four directions at once.
Rectangular Iron Chandelier, Reclaimed Wood Table, and Light That Does the Work
A candle-style iron chandelier drops over a reclaimed wood table with visible joinery — the kind of table that actually looks better after a few years of use. Matching chairs and a woven rug keep everything grounded without the room tipping into rustic-lodge territory.
Editor’s Note: Rectangular chandeliers scaled to the table length rather than the room width draw the eye down toward where the action actually happens. If you’re shopping for one, try to match the fixture length to within a foot of the tabletop — it keeps the proportion honest and stops the light from feeling like it belongs in a hotel lobby.
Upstairs, the hallway does more than connect rooms — it gets its own moment on the wall.
Black Frames, Botanical Prints, and a Hallway That Pulls Its Weight
Seven black-framed botanical photos climb the wall in a loose grid above carpet that reads almost silver in direct light. Simple, confident, nothing wasted.
Low-Profile Bed Frame, Gray Walls, and a Carpet That Actually Ties It Together
Carpet in a master bedroom gets dismissed constantly, but this room makes a case for keeping it.
The gray walls are neutral enough to let the dark leather headboard command the space, and natural light from two window groupings catches the area rug at just the right angle to reveal a subtle linear texture that hardwood would’ve buried entirely.
Double Vanity, Marble Counters, and Wall Sconces That Actually Light Your Face
Matte black hardware pulls the white shaker cabinets back from sterile, and wall sconces flanking each mirror handle the one thing overhead lighting almost never gets right: lighting your face instead of the top of your head.
