If you have ever spent a Saturday rearranging cars in the driveway just to get one out, you already know how fast a two-car garage quietly takes over your life. The Maryville is built for the version of family life where neighbors end up staying for dinner, the covered porches fill up without anyone planning it, and the house handles all of that with a three-car garage, an open main living area, a kitchen that doesn’t flinch at a crowd, and a porch long enough to prove it.
Specifications
- Sq. Ft.: 2,500
- Bedrooms: 4
- Bathrooms: 3.5
Floor Plan – Main Floor
Four bedrooms split to opposite ends of the single-story layout, keeping the master suite well away from the secondary rooms. The great room and dining area share a vaulted center, with the large kitchen on one flank and the rear porch on the other. A dedicated office, pantry, and laundry room absorb the daily grind without bleeding into living spaces.
Entryway Opens Straight Into a Dining Room Built for Long Dinners
A shiplap ceiling with exposed beam, black multi-pendant chandelier, and light oak floors set the tone before you’re three steps inside.
Why It Works: That console table in the entry does a lot of quiet work — somewhere to drop keys without cluttering the sightline into the dining room. The round mirror above it keeps the wall from feeling bare without competing with what’s happening beyond the archway, and the overall effect is an entry that makes guests feel like they’ve arrived somewhere rather than just walked through a door.
Wraparound Warmth Starts Right Here, Where the Fireplace Does the Talking
That linear fireplace sits low on the wall, pulling your eye down and across the room instead of straight up. The wood mantel shelf keeps it grounded, and the two accent chairs face the sofa without crowding it. Round coffee table was the right call — it softens all the right angles in a room that could easily have felt rigid.
- Exposed ceiling beams add visual weight without closing off the vaulted height
- Sheer curtains let in the yard view while diffusing direct light
- Ottoman stools tuck under the coffee table and double as extra seating when the room fills up
Black Pendants, Marble Island, and a Refrigerator That Commands the Room
Gold-interior pendant lights cast warm light over the island while anchoring it visually from above. The matte black French door refrigerator with brass pulls holds its own against cream cabinetry — present without being aggressive, which is harder to pull off than it looks.
Editor’s Note: Black appliances used to feel like a gamble in kitchens built around light cabinetry, but pairings like this one show how well they hold up when the hardware ties everything together. Brass pulls on both the refrigerator and the cabinet knobs do that work quietly — a small repetition that keeps the room from feeling split between two competing moods.
Dining Room Pulls Kitchen and Outdoors Into the Same Conversation
French doors flood the space with light, and the sight line runs straight back to the range hood without interruption. Gray upholstered chairs on walnut legs keep things grounded without reading as heavy. The black drum pendants echo the chandelier overhead — related but not identical, which is exactly the right relationship between the two spaces.
Did You Know: Open layouts connecting dining and kitchen often eliminate the need for separate serving furniture, since the island picks up that function naturally. Designers frequently position the dining table off-center from the kitchen to preserve a clear path between the two zones — something this plan handles well.
Vaulted Shiplap Ceiling Turns a Bedroom Into Something Worth Coming Home To
Tufted headboard, brass lamp base, chaise at the foot of the bed — this room layers in comfort without tipping into clutter. The vaulted shiplap ceiling does the heavy lifting; everything else just has to not ruin it.
Brass lamp base and a chaise at the foot of the bed give this room layers without crowding it.
Steel-Framed Glass, Freestanding Tub, and a Window That Earns Its Place
Crittall-style shower doors draw the eye down a narrow bathroom without closing it off — a useful trick in a space where the wrong choice would make everything feel compressed. The freestanding soaking tub sits centered under the window, pulling in enough natural light to make the marble backsplash behind the vanity worth having. Warm wood cabinetry keeps the whole room from reading too cold, which bathrooms this finished can sometimes do.
