Covered porches are the feature real estate agents undersell because buyers always circle back to them anyway — Saturday morning coffee that stretches to noon, friends who linger well past dinner because nobody wants to be the first to leave. The Paddock is built around exactly that: a covered porch made for staying, an open living area that flows straight out to it, and a kitchen positioned so the cook is never cut off from the room.

Floor Plan – Main Floor
A single-story layout puts the vaulted living room and kitchen up front, feeding into a hallway that branches toward a bunk room, a full bathroom, and a primary bedroom with its own closet. The covered porch runs the full width of the front facade.

Golf on TV, Fire in the Hearth, Marble Coffee Table Doing the Heavy Lifting
Shiplap ceiling, a stone fireplace surround, two boucle chairs — this room has its priorities straight. The onyx coffee table is the real conversation starter. Floor-to-ceiling glass frames a fenced pasture beyond, which helps.
Did You Know: Electric fireplaces have closed the gap on realism fast. Modern units use LED flame technology and can produce enough heat to warm a small room without any venting — which makes them a practical option for interior walls where running a traditional chimney simply isn’t in the cards.
Walnut Cabinets, Fancy Ranch Views, and a Range That Means Business
That stone range hood isn’t just decorative — it’s bookmatched onyx, and it stops everyone who walks in cold.
Walnut cabinets run floor to ceiling on three walls, fitted with brass pulls that don’t try too hard. Through the window, a manor sits across manicured grounds. It’s a lot to compete with, and the kitchen holds its own.
Backlit Mirror, Brass Faucets, and a View You Won’t Shut the Blinds On
Zellige-style tile covers the walls floor to ceiling, giving the shower an almost handmade quality where no two tiles catch light the same way. The vanity’s wood grain pairs with the onyx-veined countertop, and the window — framing a white fence and an open field — pulls its weight too.
Material Matters: Onyx countertops are softer than granite, which makes them more vulnerable to etching from acidic products. Sealing them regularly helps, but keep harsh cleaners away from the surface altogether. The upside: paired with brass fixtures, onyx tends to develop a warmer, richer look as it ages rather than looking worn.
Farmhouse Views, Linen Curtains, and a Bed You Won’t Leave Before Noon
Natural oak carries through the bed frame and nightstands without overplaying the rustic angle. Cream linen curtains pool just enough at the floor to feel deliberate rather than accidental, and the abstract artwork picks up the warm neutrals without making a fuss about it.
Worth Knowing: Linen bedding regulates temperature better than most synthetic blends, which makes it a smart pick for a sun-flooded room with large windows. It wrinkles. A lot. Most people stop minding within about a week.
Built-In Bunks, Brass Sconces, and a Barn View That Earns Its Keep
Arched built-ins in warm wood frame two sets of bunk beds, each lower berth fitted with its own brass reading sconce. Through the tall window, white fence lines and a stone barn sit exactly where a farmhouse view should.
