The Acacia

The Acacia is Turner Homes' modern farmhouse, scaled up for a household that has outgrown four bedrooms. Board-and-batten and brick give it real presence from the street, and the open main level is built for the way a busy family actually lives – a kitchen with a center island flowing into the living and dining space, a covered patio just off the back, and a mudroom with adjacent laundry to land the day's clutter.

The main-floor primary suite offers privacy with a spa-like bath and walk-in closet, while two additional main-level bedrooms add flexibility – including one near the entry that easily doubles as a home office or study. Upstairs gives the kids a floor of their own, with two more bedrooms, a full bath, and a loft that works as a media room or play area. It manages to look the part and live the part at the same time.
