The large, wrap-around leather sectional is great for movie-watching and gazing out the sliding french doors. Photography by Brian Ashby

Oxbridge - Craftsman Farmhouse

Visbeen Architects

Inspired by the surrounding landscape, the Craftsman/Prairie style is one of the few truly American architectural styles. It was developed around the turn of the century by a group of Midwestern architects and continues to be among the most comfortable of all American-designed architecture more than a century later, one of the main reasons it continues to attract architects and homeowners today. Oxbridge builds on that solid reputation, drawing from Craftsman/Prairie and classic Farmhouse styles. Its handsome Shingle-clad exterior includes interesting pitched rooflines, alternating rows of cedar shake siding, stone accents in the foundation and chimney and distinctive decorative brackets. Repeating triple windows add interest to the exterior while keeping interior spaces open and bright. Inside, the floor plan is equally impressive. Columns on the porch and a custom entry door with sidelights and decorative glass leads into a spacious 2,900-square-foot main floor, including a 19 by 24-foot living room with a period-inspired built-ins and a natural fireplace. While inspired by the past, the home lives for the present, with open rooms and plenty of storage throughout. Also included is a 27-foot-wide family-style kitchen with a large island and eat-in dining and a nearby dining room with a beadboard ceiling that leads out onto a relaxing 240-square-foot screen porch that takes full advantage of the nearby outdoors and a private 16 by 20-foot master suite with a sloped ceiling and relaxing personal sitting area. The first floor also includes a large walk-in closet, a home management area and pantry to help you stay organized and a first-floor laundry area. Upstairs, another 1,500 square feet awaits, with a built-ins and a window seat at the top of the stairs that nod to the home’s historic inspiration. Opt for three family bedrooms or use one of the three as a yoga room; the upper level also includes attic access, which offers another 500 square feet, perfect for crafts or a playroom. More space awaits in the lower level, where another 1,500 square feet (and an additional 1,000) include a recreation/family room with nine-foot ceilings, a wine cellar and home office.

Custom built-ins were designed for the space, so they could perfectly fit the space, store their TV and accessories, allow for access to the light switches on the wall and integrate with the fireplace surround. The fireplace hearth was replaced with slate and a slate surround, with a custom mantle built to integrate with the adjoining units. Photo by Laura Cavendish

Vaulted stained beamed ceiling with arched grand window and the Chilton Brown stone fireplace draws your attention into this great room. Side built in inset flat panel cabinets mimic the kitchen cabinets with open shelving for collectables. The character grade hickory hardwood floors and stained mantel provide a warmth to this vast room. (Ryan Hainey)
