First weekend of November, and the basement is already claimed: card table out, game day snacks on the bar, the kids migrated downstairs before kickoff. Upstairs, the kitchen runs parallel, stone counters holding the slow cooker and the coffee that never quite empties, raw timber overhead, a fire visible through the great room glass — the plan leans into that rhythm, with an open main-floor living core, a finished basement built for overflow, and mountain modern bones that make the whole thing feel earned.

Floor Plan – Main Floor
The living room and kitchen sit at the center of this single-story plan, with the primary suite pulling left and Bedroom 3 plus an office anchoring the right wing. Two service kitchens and a food pantry handle serious entertaining without turning the main kitchen into a staging area. A covered patio off the living room extends the flow outside, and the garage holds three cars.
Floor Plan – Basement
The basement level fits two bedrooms, a gym, a rec room, a media area, a flex space, and a bar — more square footage than most houses put down there.
Warm Wood and Matte Black Make a Kitchen Worth Lingering In
Black dome pendants anchor the island while boucle stools and light oak cabinetry keep the whole palette from tipping too dark or too precious.
The Psychology Behind This: Kitchens built around warm neutrals and natural wood tend to slow people down rather than push them through. Spaces without stark contrast or visual clutter seem to lower tension — something designers have leaned on for years even without a study to cite. The black fixtures here add enough edge to keep it from feeling sleepy, but they don’t take over.
Vaulted Ceilings and Stone Keep This Living Room Grounded
Exposed wood beams trace the cathedral ceiling without competing with the stone fireplace wall below. Floating shelves in natural pine flank the TV on both sides, and the seating — all cream linen — gets pulled back from flat by dark throw pillows and a wood-and-metal coffee table that has some actual weight to it.
Fun Fact: Stone veneer fireplaces took off in residential design largely because full masonry requires structural support most modern homes simply aren’t engineered to carry. Veneer delivers a similar visual weight at a fraction of the load — one of those details that looks old-fashioned but is actually a pretty sensible modern workaround.
Floating Shelves and a Wood Ceiling Inset Pull This Entry Hall Together
Light oak floors run continuously from the stair landing into a hallway nook where floating shelves in the same wood tone carry simple ceramic vessels and a small plant. A tray ceiling inset lined with matching wood planks draws the eye up. Grounded and unhurried — which is exactly what a transition space should be.
Why the Tray Ceiling Inset Works Here
Matching the ceiling inset planks to the floor below creates a visual loop between top and bottom that makes a space feel considered rather than just tall. Most builders treat tray ceilings as drywall exercises and call it done. Introducing a natural material into that recess adds warmth without loading up the walls with anything more to look at — it reads as architectural, not decorative, and that distinction matters.
Tray Ceiling, Stone Fireplace, and a Balcony That Earns Its Place
A wood-planked tray ceiling and a stone fireplace anchor opposite ends of the room, and sliding glass doors open onto a furnished balcony with ironwork seating that looks like it actually gets used.
Style Tip: Sliding glass doors in a bedroom work best when the outdoor furniture is scaled to match what’s inside. Oversized patio pieces crowd a small balcony and kill the sightlines from indoors. Keep the scale modest and that open, connected feeling holds up across seasons.
Warm Stone Counters and Matte Black Hardware Ground This Primary Bath
Light oak cabinetry pairs with a stone-look countertop and undermount sinks, and the glass shower enclosure carries black fixtures throughout — consistent hardware finish, no exceptions, which is the move that holds a bathroom like this together.
Designer’s Secret: Matte black hardware reads as a neutral in bathrooms far better than chrome because it doesn’t pick up color casts from tile or paint. Designers reach for it to anchor a room built entirely around warm tones without introducing contrast that fights the palette. Chrome in this space would have been a mistake — shiny surfaces here would have pulled the eye in the wrong direction.
Carpet, Recessed Lighting, and a Built-In Wine Wall Keep This Lower Level Flexible
Pale carpet runs wall to wall across a generous open lower level, and wide windows pull in treetop views that keep the space from feeling buried. Recessed cans handle the lighting without asking for any attention. The wood-framed wine rack built into the column is the one detail that tips the room from functional to something a little more intentional — without it, you’d just have a nice basement.
