Anyone who has tried to finish a work call while kids ricocheted between the living room and the kitchen knows exactly why a bonus room is not a luxury but a negotiation tactic. The Wrenfield is built around that daily détente — a dedicated bonus room pulls the noise upstairs, an open main living area lets dinner conversations actually land, and a covered front porch exists for the sole purpose of remembering what quiet sounds like after drop-off number three.

Floor Plan – Main Floor
Single-story layout with four bedrooms clustered left, a central great room opening to a rear patio, and a primary suite tucked right near a staircase hinting at bonus space above.
Floor Plan – Bonus
Three bedrooms share the left wing with Bath 2 right there in the middle of the action. A Great Room anchors the center of the plan, with the Kitchen, Dining, and Mud Room fanning out toward the garage side so daily foot traffic never cuts through the living space. The bonus room sits above the garage entirely, accessed by its own stair — genuinely separate, not just a finished attic.
Color Story: Warm cream tones fill the interior rooms while the patio and porch read in cool blue, so indoor and outdoor space register as distinct at a glance. The bonus room’s yellow-striped hatching is the plan’s most useful visual cue — it tells you immediately that this space sits apart from the rest of the house, acoustically and architecturally.
Dark Board-and-Batten Exterior Gives Way to a Covered Patio Built for Real Life
Charcoal board-and-batten wraps the exterior while warm wood-tone cladding lines the covered patio ceiling, and that contrast does real work — you know exactly where the house ends and the outdoor room begins. Seating sits left of center, dining to the right. Two zones, one roof, no awkward in-between.
Outdoor seating sits left of center, dining right, giving the patio two distinct zones under one roof.
Vaulted Ceilings and an Open Kitchen Make the Main Living Area Do Real Work
Cathedral ceilings push the living space wide open, black lantern pendants anchor the island, and French doors to the patio keep the room from feeling sealed off. Stools and a jute rug pull it back down to earth without fussing about it.
Designer’s Secret: Vaulted ceilings create a natural chimney effect, drawing warm air upward and making rooms feel cooler in summer without extra mechanical help. One thing that catches people off-guard: all that vertical height pulls paint color toward gray in ways flat-ceiling rooms simply don’t. Go slightly warmer than you think you need.
Marble Island, Black Lanterns, and a Fireplace You Can See from the Kitchen
Three pendant lanterns hang over the island with enough breathing room between them that nothing feels crowded. White shaker cabinets pair with black hardware throughout, and because the layout stays open, you have a clear sightline from the sink straight to the living room fireplace — which matters more than people admit until they have kids.
Material Matters: Natural stone needs periodic sealing to resist staining from oils and acids, which is fine if you’re on top of maintenance and less fine if you’re not. Engineered quartz gets you very close to the veined marble look shown here without the upkeep — worth considering before you fall in love with the real thing.
Pin It
Stone and board-and-batten meet under a dark roof with mature trees framing the facade — the kind of exterior that photographs well and also just looks right in person. The floor plan underneath confirms the full picture: four bedrooms, a great room open to the kitchen, a rear patio, a covered front porch, and a two-car garage with a mud room entry that keeps daily traffic from dragging through the main living space.
