Giving teenagers their own space doesn’t create distance — it creates a house everyone actually wants to come home to. The Woodville Avenue is built around that logic, with a dedicated bonus room that pulls the older kids upstairs, Craftsman woodwork that keeps the main level feeling grounded, an open kitchen where dinner conversations stretch past nine, and a layout that lets two generations share a roof without narrating every hour of each other’s day.
Specifications
- Sq. Ft.: 5,576
- Bedrooms: 4
- Bathrooms: 4.5
Floor Plan – Main Floor
Single-story layout features a master suite, a great room, a game room, dual garages, and a rear covered porch.
Floor Plan – Second Floor
Four bedrooms spread across a walkway-centered upper layout, with Bed #2 and #3 sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath on one side and Bed #4 claiming its own bath and walk-in closet on the other. The bonus room sits off a separate stair entirely.
Worth Knowing: The bonus room’s sloped ceiling and separate staircase give teenagers genuine separation from the rest of the household — not just a closed door down the hall. It runs roughly 15 by 25 feet, which is enough to absorb a TV setup, a gaming corner, and still leave actual floor space. For what it’s worth, parents tend to appreciate that buffer just as much as the kids do.
Dark Board-and-Batten Meets Natural Stone on This Sprawling Craftsman Exterior
Black vertical siding runs the full width of the house, broken up by a stone chimney tower that rises past the roofline. Exposed timber brackets frame the covered outdoor dining area, and a low stone water feature anchors the right wing. Black shingles and dark window frames tie everything together without muscling the natural stone out of the picture.
Style Tip: Black exteriors absorb heat faster than lighter finishes, so if you’re building in a hot climate, pair dark siding with properly ventilated roof assemblies to keep attic temperatures manageable. A radiant barrier above the insulation layer can offset much of that heat gain.
Rope-Wrapped Chandelier and Stone Fireplace Pull This Great Room Together
Built-in shelving flanks a floor-to-ceiling stone surround, with the TV mounted above the firebox so neither element has to fight for dominance. White upholstery reads clean against warm wood tones, and that woven basket on the coffee table earns its keep as a grounding detail without demanding much attention.
- Mounting the TV above the fireplace frees both flanking bookshelves for décor instead of media equipment.
- Built-ins painted the same tone as adjacent walls make shelving feel architectural rather than added-on.
- A rope or jute chandelier introduces texture overhead without requiring any additional materials on the walls.
Leather Bar Stools and Brass Hardware Make This Kitchen Worth Staying In
White kitchens get boring fast, but brass pulls and cognac leather stools give this one real staying power.
Under-cabinet lighting bounces off the marble slab backsplash and makes the whole wall glow. The brass faucet is noticeably off-center, planted closer to the cooktop side — a small choice that keeps the layout from looking too composed. Coffered ceiling beams overhead do the work of warming the space up without any fuss.
White Dining Table, Black Chairs, and a Wall of Glass That Does the Heavy Lifting
Herringbone wood floors anchor the room without competing with the white table, and bare branch arrangements in tall white cylinders flank the window — intentional without being fussy. The glass does most of the decorating on its own.
Editor’s Note: Ceiling fans in dining rooms often get skipped in favor of a chandelier, but in a room this close to a large window bank, air circulation actually matters. A fan with a light kit, like the one here, handles both without requiring two separate fixtures.
Gold Sconces and a Herringbone Floor Give This Hotel-Style Bedroom Real Staying Power
Brass wall sconces flank a fabric headboard with integrated side panels, and the geometric wallcovering behind it adds texture without competing for attention. The blue runner ties the whole floor together. Simple, but it works.
Material Matters: Woven headboard fabric holds up better to daily wear than flat upholstery, but it traps dust more readily. A quick pass with a lint roller or upholstery brush every few weeks keeps it looking sharp without a trip to the dry cleaner.
Freestanding Tub by the Window Is the Whole Argument for This Bathroom
Cane-front vanity cabinetry keeps the room from feeling too polished, and the floor-mount tub filler in matte black reads as a deliberate contrast against the white soaking tub. Pendant and chandelier lighting together means you’re never locked into one mood — a small thing that matters more than most people expect.
Loft Hallway with Exposed Trusses and Stone Chimney Column Earns Its Square Footage
Exposed dark wood trusses, a herringbone floor, and a stone chimney column running from floor to ceiling give this upper hallway more presence than most actual rooms get. It’s a transition space that refuses to act like one.
