The Build
New build, wood frame on poured concrete
A modern farmhouse that perfectly blends traditional charm with contemporary comfort, offering a thoughtfully designed home tailored for multi-generational living.
Characterized by white board-and-batten siding, timber-frame accents, and an elegant Eldorado stone skirt, the home strikes a timeless yet modern aesthetic. A dramatic 18-foot vaulted ceiling in the open-concept great room and kitchen creates an airy, inviting central space, accentuated by extensive large windows that bathe the interior in natural light.
Built with a poured concrete foundation and traditional wood-frame construction, the layout includes a spacious main floor, an expansive walkout basement designed for seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and a private loft above the garage ideal for guests or extended family. Thoughtful design ensures each bedroom enjoys a dedicated en-suite, enhancing privacy and comfort.
