Designed with Intention: Our Favorite Home Designs of 2025

The Magnolia in Farmstead is a true showcase of craftsmanship, as highlighted in our Parade of Homes feature. Our interior trim team poured artistry into every inch of this home, resulting in spaces that feel refined, inviting, and unique. From the cast stone fireplace surround and mantle – a new upgrade introduced at the Parade – to built-ins and custom millwork that elevate walls and ceilings, the detailing is intentional throughout. Fluted foyer trim creates a strong first impression, while a herringbone accent spanning both wall and ceiling in the office adds a bold, memorable design feature. In the primary suite, a coffered ceiling brings presence to the 10’ tall bedroom, while the powder blue wainscoting and checkerboard tile adds character and texture to the primary bath.

This 2025 craftsman plan stands out for the way a few deliberate exterior moves create a composed, well-proportioned front elevation. A deepfront porch stretches across the entire front facade, establishing a strong horizontal base and a clear transition from landscape to interior. The hip roof dormer and low roof lines give a nod to craftsman architecture that bringswarmth and familiarity to this home. A side-entry garage keeps the elevation clean and uncluttered, allowing the architecture to take center stage and contributing to a more polished streetscape. With layered rooflines, classic craftsman detailing, and an earth-toned colored scheme, the Spruce delivers curb appeal that feels warm, grounded, and current for 2025.

Redesigned in 2025, this Bradford plan reflects a thoughtful balance of architectural character and livable, moderndesign. The exterior is defined by a sculpted roofline, layered materials, anda warm, cohesive color palette. Inside, the open-concept layout is anchored bya stone fireplace and exposed ceiling beams that bring both structure andwarmth to the main living spaces. Attention to detail extends beyond the mainliving areas, with a well-designed laundry room offering generous storage and aclean, functional layout – reinforcing the idea that utility spaces deservejust as much care as the rest of the home. Every choice in this plan feels intentional and cohesive.

The Acacia plan made its 2025 debut in the Haven and quickly distinguished itself through a blend of architectural detail and everyday functionality. Arched doorways introduce softness and rhythm throughout the home, while a primary suite on the main level supports alivability-first layout. A three-car garage is included, offering flexibility without complicating the design, and the interior palette pairs soft neutrals with dark trim and light walls for a look that feels calm, cohesive, and timeless. The result is a plan defined by subtle design elements that support how the home is lived in day to day.

The Lily townhome in Bennett Village highlights how thoughtful detailing can elevate low maintenance living. Interior trim adds character throughout, while a color-drenched half bath introduces a bold, unexpected design. Redesigned in 2025, the primary suite now features a larger, more functional closet, improving both comfort and usability. With plan options offering eitherthree bedrooms or two primary suites, the Lily balances flexibility withrefined design – an approach that resonated strongly with us in 2025.
