Exterior Architecture & Site Layout

• • Façade Design: A transitional Southern style featuring a mixed material exterior. The primary siding consists of light cream-colored horizontal lap siding, elegantly contrasted by a distressed, whitewashed red brick accent across the front façade and foundation lines.
  • Roof & Windows: A complex, multi-gabled roofline covered in dark charcoal gray architectural shingles. Multi-pane double-hung windows are framed by operational shutters in a muted gray-green hue. The upper level features classic dormer windows with white trim.
  • Front Entryway: An elevated, wide front porch supported by clean white structural columns. A herringbone-patterned red brick walkway leads to double entry doors made of natural, warm-toned wood with glass paneling.
  • Garage & Driveway: A side-load, attached two-car garage is subtly integrated into the side of the home with gray panel doors. A long concrete driveway runs along the right side of the lot, keeping the front view unobstructed. A large dormer section above the garage indicates a spacious upper bonus room.

Main Interior Living Spaces

• • Placement: Positioned immediately inside the main double-door entrance for a classic, welcoming flow.
  • Details: The space features crisp white wainscoting, heavy crown molding, and light gray walls.
  • Styling: A white wooden dining table sits over a vintage pink and blue area rug, paired with woven rattan chairs, bold blue-and-white floral curtains, and a tiered white beaded chandelier.

• • Ceilings: A grand, high-vaulted ceiling anchored by thick white structural support beams.
  • Fireplace Wall: A floor-to-ceiling focal feature combining a whitewashed brick hearth, a traditional white mantle, and custom built-in display shelving on either side with soft gray backings.

• • Island & Flow: Completely open to the great room, anchored by a massive white quartz central island with subtle gray veining and farmhouse sink.
  • Custom Cabinetry: Bright white shaker cabinets extend fully to the ceiling, detailed with elongated satin bronze handles and pulls.

  • Integrated Appliances: White matte appliances, including stacked wall ovens and a double-door refrigerator, are customized with satin bronze hardware to match the cabinetry.
