Builder: Pete's Construction, Inc. Photographer: Jeff Garland Why choose when you don't have to? Today's top architectural styles are reflected in this impressive yet inviting design, which features the best of cottage, Tudor and farmhouse styles. The exterior includes board and batten siding, stone accents and distinctive windows. Indoor/outdoor spaces include a three-season porch with a fireplace and a covered patio perfect for entertaining. Inside, highlights include a roomy first floor, with 1,800 square feet of living space, including a mudroom and laundry, a study and an open plan living, dining and kitchen area. Upstairs, 1400 square feet includes a large master bath and bedroom (with 10-foot ceiling), two other bedrooms and a bunkroom. Downstairs, another 1,300 square feet await, where a walk-out family room connects the interior and exterior and another bedroom welcomes guests.

The best of past and present architectural styles combine in this welcoming, farmhouse-inspired design. Clad in low-maintenance siding, the distinctive exterior has plenty of street appeal, with its columned porch, multiple gables, shutters and interesting roof lines. Other exterior highlights included trusses over the garage doors, horizontal lap siding and brick and stone accents. The interior is equally impressive, with an open floor plan that accommodates today’s family and modern lifestyles. An eight-foot covered porch leads into a large foyer and a powder room. Beyond, the spacious first floor includes more than 2,000 square feet, with one side dominated by public spaces that include a large open living room, centrally located kitchen with a large island that seats six and a u-shaped counter plan, formal dining area that seats eight for holidays and special occasions and a convenient laundry and mud room. The left side of the floor plan contains the serene master suite, with an oversized master bath, large walk-in closet and 16 by 18-foot master bedroom that includes a large picture window that lets in maximum light and is perfect for capturing nearby views. Relax with a cup of morning coffee or an evening cocktail on the nearby covered patio, which can be accessed from both the living room and the master bedroom. Upstairs, an additional 900 square feet includes two 11 by 14-foot upper bedrooms with bath and closet and a an approximately 700 square foot guest suite over the garage that includes a relaxing sitting area, galley kitchen and bath, perfect for guests or in-laws.

Built on a slope, the towering, two-story-high windows and vaulted ceilings reveal mountain views. Upstairs is the loft—an entertainment getaway. The kitchen with its wine rack, spacious island, and custom, wood-faced range hood is open and impressive. The master bedroom fireplace is integrated with shelves and TV above. The huge outdoor deck wraps the home on three sides.
