Meet The Sequoia, a distinctive two-story home from Espire Homes that artfully combines clean, modern design with the warmth of a family living space. The exterior of this home immediately makes an impression with its striking geometric features, including stone columns and an abundance of black-trimmed windows. Flat roofs on the front and rear covered porches create a memorable look while allowing the second story to have clearer sight lines and a more flexible layout.

Just inside the front door, you’ll discover the first of many design surprises this home offers: a towering suspended staircase featuring a balcony-style landing with views of the lower level. A large study is set off by a floor-to-ceiling glass feature wall. The foyer opens up into a sprawling great room, kitchen, and dinette. The star of the great room is a modern fireplace grounded by a stone hearth that seems to float above the ground. Here, and throughout the home, textured wood accent walls add character and make the space feel irresistibly inviting. The kitchen’s waterfall island rests under a dropped “cloud” feature. Behind double barn doors, an oversized pantry is ready to hold anything a gourmet home chef could want. A spacious and highly customizable covered porch with a fireplace overlooks the backyard, with access from both the dinette and the oversized mudroom.

The private master suite is the ultimate in luxury. The double-stepped ceiling and plentiful windows make the bedroom feel even more spacious than it already is. A floating vanity with dual sinks and wall-mounted fixtures gives the bathroom a sleek, modern edge, complemented by the tile work around the roomy glass shower and soaking tub. Upstairs, you’ll find a large loft overlooking the great room as well as three bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom and two sharing a bathroom with separate vanity spaces. The finished lower level features an additional bedroom and bathroom, a bar, an exercise room (complete with another glass feature wall!), and plenty of space for family and friends to gather. This flexible design could easily accommodate whatever suits your fancy, like a wine cellar.

Be sure not to miss any of the beautiful architectural details of The Sequoia, from the juxtaposed horizontal and vertical lines to the feeling of tenuous suspension. It’s a home you’re sure to remember!
