Finley

A harmonious blend of shapes and textures give the Finley a visually engaging front facade.

Bold raised corner quoins accent the fine regularity of the brick veneer, and these two materials are again integrated in the graceful keystone arch that crowns a set of multipaned windows. Rectangular shutters offset the crisp lines of lap siding on one side, and the airy grid of multipaned windows on the other.

One column, simple and stately, supports the roof of a covered porch that could be home to an old-fashioned porch swing, or other comfortable outdoor furniture.

Entering, you step into a vaulted entry that leads directly into a spacious vaulted great room. Light spills in through two atrium windows at the rear. The left is actually a door that swings open to access one of two patios or decks. On dreary days or long dark nights, the owners can relax while enjoying the warmth and color of flames dancing in the gas fireplace nestled into the back corner.

A partially enclosed dining room is open to the entry on the left. This space has an elegant tray ceiling, and is suffused with subdued light washing in through two wide multipaned windows.

The kitchen is large and linked to a sunny morning room. People, as well as potted plants, will thrive in this bright space.

Four bedrooms cluster together in the right wing. Amenities in the Finley’s large owners’ suite include a deep walk-in closet, and a two-section bathroom.

The bedroom closet to the front door is an excellent location for a home office. A door could be added for direct access from the porch.
