It’s hard not to pause for a moment when you first see this home. There’s a sense of drama in the rooflines and stone chimney, and an openness created by the broad windows and natural materials.

This house delivers both the warmth of a modern farmhouse and the bold character of a mountain retreat.

With over 4,400 square feet spread across two levels that are truly well planned, you’ll find plenty to enjoy—from private workspaces to lively gathering areas and inviting outdoor living zones.

Specifications:

  • 4,446 Heated S.F.
  • 4 Beds
  • 4.5 Baths
  • 2 Stories
  • 3 Cars

The Floor Plans:

Front Porch

You step up to a broad front porch, partially sheltered and perfectly sized for a couple of chairs or even a bench swing.

The welcoming feel starts here, with tall ceilings overhead and views through the glass of the foyer just beyond.

The porch sets the tone for the rest of the home. It’s inviting, functional, and styled to make the most of every view.

Foyer

Inside, the foyer opens up with impressive volume. This isn’t just a hallway; it’s a two-story space anchored by floating stairs with wood planks and steel supports.

I think the design here feels both open and grounded, giving you a clear line of sight into the great room while hinting at what’s upstairs.

There’s a sense of anticipation as you decide which direction to go first.

Great Room

Turning left, you find yourself in the great room, which stretches out with 16-foot ceilings and a wall of windows that pull in the mountain light.

The central fireplace draws your eye without taking over the room, and there’s enough space for a generous sectional plus extra seating.

This is the spot for movie nights, holiday gatherings, or simply curling up with a book.

The open connection to the dining area makes everything feel social and connected.

Dining Room

Flowing directly from the great room, the dining room is spacious enough for a large table and still gives you plenty of room to move around.

Oversized windows frame the courtyard and bring the outdoors in. Since the dining room sits close to the kitchen, serving is easy, but you’re far enough away that dinner conversation isn’t drowned out by kitchen noise.

Kitchen

Move into the kitchen and you’ll notice how functional the layout feels. The wide island is perfect for morning coffee or prepping meals with friends.

Storage lines both sides, and there’s a direct path to the back porch, making it simple to carry out platters for outdoor dining.

I think the proportions are just right here; the kitchen feels generous but not overwhelming, so it’s easy to work in and find what you need.

Back Porch

Step out from the kitchen onto the back porch, and you immediately sense a change of pace.

Vaulted ceilings make the space feel airy, while sturdy posts and an overhead covering let you use this area almost year-round.

Views open up to the uncovered patio and the yard beyond. Just a few steps away, you’re at the outdoor kitchen.

Outdoor Kitchen

The outdoor kitchen fits neatly into a corner of the porch. It’s close enough to the main kitchen for you to grab supplies easily.

There’s space for a grill, prep counter, and even a small fridge. If you love entertaining outside, this setup means you can do all your cooking and serving outdoors and still stay part of the fun.

Uncovered Patio & Courtyard

Beyond the covered areas, there’s a large uncovered patio that feels like a true extension of the living areas inside.

You might picture sunning in the afternoon or watching the stars at night. The patio flows naturally into a more sheltered courtyard.

This courtyard sits at the center of the main floor’s “L,” ringed by large windows, and feels like a private garden you can reach from both the dining room and the primary suite.

I think this is one of the most versatile spots in the home—perfect for quiet mornings or lively outdoor dinners.

Primary Suite

At the far end of the house, the primary suite is angled for maximum privacy and views.

Step through the double doors and you’ll see twelve-foot ceilings and enough space for a king bed, a seating area, and more.

Windows look out to the courtyard and beyond, filling the bedroom with soft natural light.

The attached bathroom is just as spacious, with a long vanity, soaking tub, oversized shower, and direct access to an enormous walk-in closet.

There’s even a private door leading outside, so heading out for an early morning walk feels effortless.

Office/Gym

Next to the primary suite, there’s a flexible room labeled as an office or gym.

Its location works well—close enough to the main living areas to stay convenient, but private enough to stay quiet.

Bedroom 2

On the opposite wing, Bedroom 2 sits apart from the busier areas, making it ideal for guests or family who want privacy.

There’s an attached bathroom with a shower, a generous closet, and windows that look out to the side of the property.

The setup is flexible, so it could be a guest suite or a semi-private retreat for an older child or in-law.

Utility Room

Right next to Bedroom 2, the utility room stretches out nearly the full width of the wing.

If you like staying organized, you’ll be happy here. There’s laundry, storage, and even a dedicated space for folding and sorting.

The side porch connects directly, so muddy boots or pet paws can be dealt with before coming inside.

Side Porch

This smaller side porch sits near the utility area and garage. It’s practical for daily life—think grocery runs, taking out the trash, or setting up a quiet reading chair in the afternoon shade.

Garage

The garage stands out for its size and accessibility. Three large bays offer plenty of room for vehicles, storage, or even a workshop.

You can enter the house through multiple doors here, making it easy to bring in supplies or move between indoors and out without tracking through the main living areas.

Pantry

Just off the kitchen and close to the utility space, the pantry is placed for convenience. I appreciate how it stays out of sight but is always within reach, so you can keep your kitchen counters clear and food organized.

Now, head upstairs using those floating stairs in the foyer. You’ll get a dramatic two-story view back down to the entry below.

Loft

At the top of the stairs, you’ll find a wide loft that overlooks the foyer and lets light spill in from the tall windows.

Bookcases line part of the space, creating a perfect nook for a small library or a homework station.

Kids might hang out here, or adults might sneak away for a quiet break. The loft gives you lots of options.

Game Room

Turn left off the loft and you reach the game room. With vaulted ceilings and plenty of open space, this room can handle a pool table, media setup, or just about any collection of games and crafts.

Its location means noise and excitement stay away from the quieter bedrooms, so it’s perfect for group activities without disturbing anyone who’s trying to rest.

Bedroom 3

Past the loft, you’ll find Bedroom 3, which is similar in size and comfort to the downstairs guest suite.

There’s a big window, closet space, and direct access to a shared bathroom that also serves Bedroom 4 down the hall.

This works well for siblings, roommates, or long-term guests.

Bedroom 4

Bedroom 4 sits at the end of the hall, providing a bit more separation and extra space.

The vaulted ceiling makes the room feel especially open. I think families with multiple kids will appreciate having bedrooms that are close in size but spread out enough for personal space.

There’s a closet and convenient access to the Jack-and-Jill bath shared with Bedroom 3.

Jack-and-Jill Baths

Between Bedrooms 3 and 4, there are Jack-and-Jill bathrooms, each with separate vanities and a shared shower area in the middle.

As a parent, I see the value here—no more fighting over the sink in the morning.

Nearby linen closets keep towels and supplies close at hand.

Attic/Mechanical Room

Finally, just behind Bedroom 4, there’s an attic and mechanical room. It’s not a space you’ll use every day, but it’s essential for keeping the home running smoothly.

HVAC, seasonal storage, and repairs are all handled here, out of sight but easy to reach when needed.

Walking back toward the loft, you get another sweeping view of the foyer and great room below.

The light, the open spaces, and the natural flow between indoors and outdoors create a home that feels both impressive and deeply comfortable.

Each level has its own pace—entertaining, relaxing, working, or playing. The layout adapts as your needs change.

This is a house designed to be lived in, not just admired, and I think you’ll be surprised by how well it balances function and personality at every turn.
