Second floor holds an owner suite, two bedrooms, game room, utility, and a detached studio accessed by its own staircase.
Covered Patio and Balcony Make the Backyard Worth Staying In
Adirondack chairs围绕 a low fire pit on flagstone, with an upper balcony and covered lounge area just steps behind.
Let me redo that properly:
Layered Outdoor Zones
What works here is the separation of spaces without any hard barrier. The fire pit area sits on its own flagstone pad, distinct from the raised covered porch, so you’ve got two usable zones that don’t compete. That upper balcony adds a third level, turning what could’ve been a flat backyard experience into something with real vertical interest.
Open-Plan Living Where the Kitchen, Dining, and Lounge Actually Connect
Gray upholstered sofas anchor the living area, while a glass-and-brass oval coffee table adds some warmth without competing. French doors open to an outdoor space beyond. The formal dining table sits under a crystal chandelier just steps from the kitchen.
Designer’s Secret: The ceiling fan placed directly over the seating area rather than centered in the room is a practical choice that gets overlooked in open-plan layouts. It cools the space people actually occupy, not the square footage between zones. If you’re working with a builder, request this placement early since it’s harder to relocate once framing is done.
Ornate Fireplace Surround Holds Its Own Against Modern Gray Seating
White carved fireplace surround contrasts the textured stone accent wall behind it, while low-profile gray sofas keep the room from feeling top-heavy.
Style Math: Mixing a carved traditional fireplace surround with contemporary boxy seating is one of those combinations that shouldn’t work on paper but does in practice. The key is keeping everything else neutral so neither piece has to compete. Warm wood floors do the same job here, bridging the two without choosing sides.
Woven Barstools and Pendant Lights Keep This Kitchen From Feeling Cold
Three rope-woven barstools pull up to a dark-topped island that anchors the room without overwhelming it. Glass pendants hang low enough to actually light the workspace. Upper cabinets with reeded glass fronts break up what would otherwise be a solid wall of flat white.

Marble Island Countertop Earns Every Inch of Counter Space It Takes Up
Veined marble on the island contrasts with darker perimeter counters. Woven rattan barstools and ribbed glass pendants pull warmth into an otherwise cool, light cabinet palette.
Color Story: Warm brown veining in the island countertop does quiet work here, connecting the cool white cabinetry to the natural textures of the rattan seating without needing any additional color introduced. Choosing two distinct countertop materials for the island versus the perimeter is a strategy worth considering if you want visual separation between cooking and gathering zones. It’s a low-commitment way to add depth that paint alone can’t deliver.
Pin It
The top half shows an exterior rendering of a two-story Craftsman-style home with a covered front porch and columned veranda. Below it, the first floor plan lays out the garage, kitchen, family room, dining area, study, and covered porch with room dimensions labeled throughout.
