Anyone who has spent a Sunday morning trapped inside because the only outdoor seat is a slab of hot concrete knows exactly what most houses are missing. The Mossworth was built around the slow version of that morning — coffee going cold while you watch the yard wake up, a dog stretched across the boards beside you — and it backs that up with a generous covered patio, an open living layout that flows straight toward it, and a Southern Country exterior that actually earns the view from the street.
Specifications
- Sq. Ft.: 2,528
- Bedrooms: 3
- Bathrooms: 3.5
Floor Plan – Main Floor
Three bedrooms, an open great room, a split master suite, a covered patio, a bar area, and a double-car garage anchor this single-story layout.
Covered Patio Pool House Built for Long Summer Afternoons
Brick pool surround, white columns, and sliding glass doors connect the covered outdoor kitchen directly to the water. The whole setup is arranged around one idea: staying outside as long as possible.
Framed Sketches and Exposed Beams Make This Foyer Worth Slowing Down In
Exposed wood ceiling beams ground the entry without making it feel heavy. Four sketches in dark frames run along the left wall, a lantern pendant hangs low enough to read as deliberate rather than default, and the console table’s open lower shelf holds stacked books and a woven basket — the kind of detail that takes thirty seconds to style and looks like it’s always been there.
Scissor Trusses and Open Space Make This Great Room Hard to Walk Past
Those crossed ceiling beams are doing more architectural work than most rooms manage with their entire layout.
Warm wood trusses pull your eye up before the oversized sectional and green ottoman bring it back down. French doors at the far end flood the space with natural light — and suddenly the room feels twice the size it is on paper.
Bleached Wood Cabinets and a Long Island Built for Lingering
Light oak cabinetry, a candle-style pendant, and bar stools that invite you to pull up and stay.
Style Math: Whitewashed wood tones against white countertops keep the palette cohesive without tipping into cold. The island’s length carries the room — seating for a crowd, a prep sink mid-counter, and enough elbow room that two people can cook without negotiating territory. It reads casual, but the proportions are doing all the work.
Tray Ceiling and Soft Wood Tones Pull This Primary Bedroom Together
Shiplap walls, a sleigh bed in bleached oak, and French doors opening to greenery make this room feel genuinely restful.
- Tray ceilings add visual depth without requiring architectural complexity
- French doors replace a standard window to pull natural light deeper into the room
- Matching nightstands and a dresser in the same wood tone keeps the room from feeling busy
Dual Vanities Facing Each Other and a Soaking Tub That Earns Its Footprint
A freestanding oval tub anchors the center wall, a glass-enclosed subway tile shower sits beside it, and wood-look flooring keeps the all-white palette from going clinical. Two mirrored vanities face each other across the room — which sounds like a lot until you’ve shared a single vanity with someone.
Designer’s Secret: Opposing vanities on parallel walls give each person full counter space without anyone getting crowded out — a practical layout decision that also happens to look intentional. The geometric pendant centered overhead draws the eye up and keeps the long room from reading like a corridor. And since freestanding tubs don’t tie into the wall, repositioning one during a future remodel is far less disruptive than ripping out a built-in surround.
Pin It
The exterior rendering shows a white board-and-batten Southern cottage with a covered front porch and two-car garage. Below, the floor plan lays out three bedrooms, a great room, covered patio, and a solana off the dining area.
Material Matters: Board-and-batten siding holds up well in humid Southern climates because the vertical overlap channels water away from the wall surface rather than letting it pool at horizontal seams. Good performance, clean look from the street. Not a bad combination for a siding choice.
