A wraparound porch tells you exactly what kind of family lives here — neighbors waved in from the driveway, dinner stretched past dark, kids running laps around the house while the adults claim the rocking chairs. The Fernhollow is built around that rhythm, with a full wraparound porch, an open main living area for long noisy dinners, a farmhouse kitchen that fits everyone, and enough square footage upstairs to send the kids to bed when the night finally winds down.
Specifications
- Sq. Ft.: 2,747
- Bedrooms: 4
- Bathrooms: 2.5
Floor Plan – Main Floor
The main floor centers on an open great room that flows into the kitchen and dining nook, no walls breaking up the space. Mudroom, laundry, and half bath cluster near the garage entry, which is exactly where they belong. Stairs sit centrally between the kitchen and living area, and a deck extends off the back.
Floor Plan – Second Floor
All four bedrooms land on the second floor, anchored by a primary suite with a walk-in closet. The three remaining bedrooms share two full baths, which is a better ratio than most plans at this size. Worth calling out: the nook near the stair landing, a flexible hangout space that doesn’t belong to any one room and ends up belonging to everyone.
Wraparound Porch Country Living With a Side of Mountain Views
White board-and-batten siding with black trim gives the exterior its sharp contrast, and the wood porch columns pull enough warmth in to keep it from feeling cold. Outdoor dining and seating fill the wraparound, which makes it obvious this isn’t just a decorative gesture. Mountains and water sit quietly in the background. Some houses get lucky with their site.
Editor’s Note: Wraparound porches fell out of fashion for decades, mostly because newer builds prioritized garage space over front-of-house living. Houses like Fernhollow are part of a real shift back toward outdoor rooms that earn their square footage. If your family eats outside even once a week, a porch this size pays for itself in quality of life.
Dark Sofas, Warm Wood, and a Kitchen That Doesn’t Hide From Anyone
Charcoal upholstery anchors the living area without making it feel heavy, partly because the wood-toned floors and jute rug pull warmth back in. Open sightlines carry straight through to white shaker cabinets and brass pendant lights overhead. It reads calm. Lived-in, but calm.
Style Math: Dark upholstery plus warm hardwood plus white cabinetry is a formula that’s been working since farmhouse interiors started influencing suburban builds. Each element keeps the others honest — too much dark and the room closes in, but the white kitchen at the back holds it open and gives your eye somewhere to land.
Open-Plan Living Where the Kitchen Refuses to Stay in Its Lane
Hardwood floors run uninterrupted from the living room straight into the kitchen, which keeps the whole main level feeling connected rather than chopped into zones. Gray upholstered seating anchors the sitting area without competing with the wood coffee table, and those black-framed windows pull in what looks like a genuine field view. Not a rendering trick. An actual field.
Color Story: Greige walls sit in that narrow range between warm gray and soft tan, which makes them unusually forgiving partners for both dark upholstery and natural wood. The color reads differently depending on the light — morning sun pushes it warmer, overcast afternoons cool it back toward gray. It’s one of those neutrals that does the work quietly.
