The first floor puts the primary suite off the kitchen with its own WIC and bath. Family room, dining, and kitchen flow together openly, with a mudroom and pantry connecting to the 2-car garage.
Floor Plan
The second floor hosts two bedrooms, an open loft, a shared bath, and mechanical storage, all accessible from a central staircase.
Fun Fact: Lofts on upper floors pull double duty in homes like this one, functioning as media rooms, home offices, or overflow sleeping space for guests. At 13 by 15 feet with 8-foot ceilings, this one has enough room to feel like a real destination rather than leftover square footage. Keeping the mechanical and storage area tucked beside the bathroom on the same floor saves multiple trips up and down the stairs for seasonal items.
White Siding, Covered Porch, and a Yard That Earns Its Keep
Crisp white lap siding wraps the exterior under a gray asphalt roof with a steep pitch. The covered front porch runs wide enough for actual furniture, and someone’s made good use of it with chairs and potted plantings. Mulched beds with low shrubs frame the foundation cleanly. Mature trees press in from the back, keeping it private.
Ask Yourself: Covered porches like this one change how you actually use a home’s exterior, extending livable space without adding conditioned square footage. If you’re planning a build, consider how the porch roof aligns with the main roofline so it looks like part of the original structure rather than an addition.
Stone Fireplace, Lit Fire, and Fall Light Doing All the Work
Gray linen sofas face a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a live fire burning. The rustic wood mantel and glass-top coffee tables keep the room grounded without competing for attention.

Navy Island, Marble Counters, and Three Pendants Doing Heavy Lifting
That navy island is the anchor here. White bar stools with black legs keep the contrast going without fighting the cabinetry. The herringbone tile backsplash behind the range adds texture where flat subway tile would’ve blended in.
- Open-plan kitchens benefit from a contrasting island color to visually define the cooking zone
- Herringbone patterns on backsplashes draw the eye upward toward range hoods and upper cabinets
- Lantern-style pendants work over islands because they cast light downward without blocking sightlines across the space
Dark Upholstery, Soft Layers, and an En Suite That Stays Visible
Charcoal upholstered bed frame anchors the neutral palette, while layered throw blankets add texture without competing. The open en suite door signals direct bathroom access. Two botanical prints break up an otherwise bare wall.
Common Mistake: Many buyers overlook how much natural light a bedroom loses when the en suite door placement isn’t coordinated with window placement. Borrowed light from a well-positioned bathroom can meaningfully brighten a room that has only one exterior wall. Plan the door swing early.
Marble, Glass, and a Walk-In Closet Visible from the Shower
White marble tile runs from floor to ceiling inside the glass shower enclosure and continues across the floor. A freestanding soaking tub sits beside a large window overlooking fall foliage. The walk-in closet opens directly off the bath.
The Psychology Behind This: Placing a walk-in closet adjacent to the primary bath isn’t just convenient. It reduces morning traffic through shared spaces and keeps the bedroom itself quieter and less cluttered. Proximity between these two rooms consistently ranks among the features buyers most want to keep after moving in.
Shiplap Hooks, Built-In Bench, and a Mudroom That Actually Does Its Job
Vertical shiplap backing anchors the locker-style built-in, with dark metal hooks and three drawer cubbies below a cushioned bench. Woven baskets up top keep the upper shelves functional without looking cluttered.
Did You Know: Mudrooms connected directly to a laundry room are increasingly common in new construction because the pairing makes practical sense. Wet gear, dirty clothes, and outdoor shoes stay contained in one zone before anyone moves deeper into the house. Tile flooring in this space is an easy-clean choice that holds up to boots and weather better than most alternatives.
Loft TV Wall With a View of Fall Color Just Over Your Shoulder
Recessed lighting keeps the ceiling clean above carpet that runs wall to wall. The low-profile media console anchors a wall-mounted flatscreen, and the triple window behind the landing frames autumn trees you’d actually want to look at.
