Saturday evening in early May, and the two of you are already taking your wine to the wraparound porch before dinner is even finished. The Wrenhollow is built around exactly that kind of night: a porch wide enough for two rocking chairs and a small table, a walk-in pantry that swallows a full Costco run without creative stacking, an open kitchen that keeps one person cooking without feeling abandoned, and a second floor that puts the bedroom far enough from the front door that the evening actually has somewhere to go.
Specifications
- Sq. Ft.: 2,616
- Bedrooms: 3
- Bathrooms: 3.5
Floor Plan – Main Floor
The main level centers on a vaulted family room with a fireplace, flanked by a kitchen with an island on one side and a main-floor bedroom suite with a walk-in closet on the other. A wide hallway, mud room, and pantry keep daily traffic from piling up in the wrong places.
Floor Plan – Second Floor
Upstairs you get three bedrooms, a bonus room, a study, a family room, and two walk-in closets — more than enough to stop arguing about storage.
Wrap-Around Porch and Board-and-Batten Siding That Actually Look Like a Real Farmhouse
Cedar posts anchor the covered porch, vertical board-and-batten siding keeps the exterior honest and uncluttered, and dark metal roofing pulls it all together without trying too hard. A lot of farmhouse-style homes get the details slightly wrong. This one doesn’t.
Branch Chandelier, Vaulted Ceiling, and Built-Ins That Do the Heavy Lifting
That branch-style chandelier casts shadow patterns across the vaulted ceiling that no recessed light could replicate. Open wood shelves flank the fireplace against slat-panel backing, and the low-profile sectional keeps the sightlines clear so the room can actually breathe rather than just look big in a photo.

Granite Island With a Lazy Susan Cutout and a Chandelier Worth Staring At
Fluted dark wood panels wrap the island base while the granite countertop runs thick and uninterrupted above them. Crossed LED tubes on a black frame hang overhead and do more visual work than most fixtures even attempt. Under-cabinet strips keep the backsplash readable after dark.
Why It Works: The lazy susan inset in the island countertop is a practical detail that rarely shows up in renderings this polished — it keeps the surface clean while quietly solving the “where do I set things down” problem during meals. Pairing it with fluted wood panels below gives the island visual weight without turning it into a piece of furniture that dominates the room.
Cone Pendants and Warm Wood That Make You Want to Linger Over Dinner
Sculptural glass cone pendants drop light onto a round pedestal table with a ribbed base. Natural wood chairs, a circular striped rug, and whatever afternoon sun happens to be coming through the window take care of the rest.
Style Math: Warm wood tones read differently depending on light source, and this room makes that point well. Afternoon sun flooding in from the right pulls amber out of the flooring and table base, while the pendant fixtures hold their own after dark without competing. Getting natural and artificial sources to share the same color temperature is one of the quieter tricks in residential design — and when it’s working, you just feel it without knowing why.
Vertical Wood Slat Wall and Layered Grays That Pull the Room Together
Walnut slat paneling anchors the headboard wall behind a light upholstered platform bed, with dark charcoal throw pillows bridging the two tones.
Editor’s Note: Wood slat accent walls have largely replaced shiplap as the go-to feature wall in modern bedroom design — they’re easier to install than they look and don’t need paint to make an impact. The warm walnut tone here does a lot of work against the cool gray walls, and it does it without adding a single extra element to the room.
Pin It
White board-and-batten exterior with a covered front porch sits above a detailed first-floor plan showing the walk-in pantry, screened rear porch, dual covered decks, vaulted family room, and main-floor primary suite with its own walk-in closet.
