Client Goals
The homeowners were looking for a spacious, family‑friendly retreat that combined modern comfort with timeless style. Their priorities: generous room sizes, a strong indoor/outdoor connection, flexible living zones, and a home that could serve both as a year‑round residence and a gathering place for friends and family.
Design & Build Highlights
The Graham Project presents a two‑level layout—each floor spanning 1,835 sq.ft.—that’s rooted in simplicity and connection to its natural surroundings. A broad covered front porch invites you inside, where vaulted ceilings and expansive windows brighten the open‑concept main living area. Off the main living zone, a glazed porch (265 sq.ft.) offers light‑filled space that blends inside and out, while the lower level provides walk‑out access and seamless integration with the landscape.
The exterior marries classic proportions with refined details: board‑and‑batten siding, clean‑lined gables, large glazing and a substantial 500 sq.ft. garage. Inside, hardwood flooring, stone‑accent fireplaces, and premium finishes ground the home in durability and warmth, while three full bathrooms and three bedrooms provide comfort without compromise.
Interior Finishes
Across both levels, carefully chosen materials deliver elegance and practicality. Wide‑plank hardwood floors unify the space underfoot; granite countertops anchor the gourmet kitchen; modern white cabinetry keeps the aesthetic fresh and clean. Brushed metal fixtures, statement lighting, and natural wood accents bring subtle sophistication, while large windows and doors invite the outdoors in.
Landscaping
The home is deeply rooted in its setting. Mature trees remain, stone terraces and flower beds contour into the site, and the gently curving driveway offers graceful arrival. Outdoor living is emphasized by the glazed and covered porches, extending the footprint of the house into the landscape.
Conclusion
The Graham Project represents how thoughtful planning and execution come together to create a home that’s at once grand in scale and genuine in feel. With its strong architectural presence, well‑designed layout, versatile spaces, and connection to nature, this is a residence built to be lived in, celebrated in, and enjoyed for years to come.
