Hill Country farmhouse style gets slapped on a lot of houses that are just ranch homes with a metal roof and some shiplap. Thornhollow earns the label — a rear porch wide enough to actually use, a split layout that gives everyone real breathing room, and a three-car garage that finally parks the truck, the weekend trailer, and something just for you.
Specifications
- Sq. Ft.: 2,638
- Bedrooms: 3
- Bathrooms: 2.5
Floor Plan – Main Floor
The single-story layout puts the family room and dining room at the center, with the primary suite to the left and two bedrooms to the right. Covered porches wrap both the front and rear, and the garage sits detached at the far right.
Stone Fireplace and Exposed Beams Pull the Hill Country Indoors
Warm hardwood floors, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and rough-hewn ceiling beams do all the heavy character work here, leaving the sliding glass doors to handle the light. It’s a living room that feels genuinely lived-in before the furniture even arrives.
Reclaimed Beam Hood Anchors a Kitchen Built Around the Range
Rough-hewn wood wraps the range hood where most kitchens would use painted drywall. Marble-veined countertops and subway tile keep the palette from tipping too far into rustic territory.
Why That Hood Works So Hard
A raw timber beam as the hood surround introduces genuine age and texture into a room full of brand-new materials — something paint and trim simply cannot replicate. It pulls the eye straight to the range, which is exactly where a working kitchen wants attention. White cabinetry and black hardware surround it, so the contrast reads as deliberate rather than accidental.
Vaulted Ceiling and a Garden View Make This Bedroom Hard to Leave
The dark walnut storage bed sits low to the floor, grounding the room without crowding it. Framed prints lean casually on a picture ledge rather than hanging rigid on the wall, which keeps things from feeling too finished. Outside the black-framed window, mature trees do more work than any artwork could.
Common Mistake: Mounting a TV directly across from the bed without accounting for window glare is one of those decisions that seems fine on paper and becomes annoying every single afternoon. Positioning the screen on an adjacent wall, as done here, solves the problem before it starts.
Freestanding Tub Centered on a Garden Window Does the Heavy Lifting
Penny-tile floors, matte black fixtures, and white shaker cabinetry keep the palette grounded, then a chandelier overhead throws that calculation off just enough. The freestanding tub is positioned squarely beneath the grid window so natural light hits it all morning. Open shelving on both sides stays practical without feeling like a storage problem waiting to happen.
Pro Tip: Plan the plumbing rough-in for a freestanding tub before the slab is poured. Retrofitting a floor-mount faucet after the fact means rerouting supply lines, which gets expensive quickly. Lock in the tub placement early so your plumber can position the stub-outs exactly where they need to be.
Exposed Ceiling Beams and a Grid Window Frame a Home Office Built to Last
Solid wood desk, leather chair, grid-pane window looking out over open fields. Natural light falls directly across the work surface, and picture frames clustered on the wall add personality without eating into desk space. A focused room. Not a lot of fuss.
- Positioning a desk perpendicular to a large window cuts direct glare on screens without giving up the view
- Built-in drawer pedestals under the desk surface keep the floor clear and eliminate the need for separate filing furniture
- Exposed ceiling beams read better visually when they run parallel to the desk orientation, pulling the eye toward the window rather than across the room
Covered Porch Furniture That Actually Belongs Outside
Wicker drum table, leather-cushioned barrel chairs, and a concrete slab floor built to handle rain and foot traffic without complaint. Firewood stacked at the base of the stone column signals that this porch gets used well past sundown, not just on mild evenings in October. The green lawn carries the eye straight through to the tree line.
Trend Alert: Outdoor cushions upholstered in solution-dyed acrylic fabric hold their color far longer than standard polyester in sun-exposed spaces. The fibers are colored all the way through during manufacturing, so fading takes years rather than a single summer. One of the few porch upgrades that earns its cost back fast.
