Modern farmhouse
Gables, board-and-batten, black windows and generous porches. Warm, family-friendly and well suited to Tennessee.
Transitional
Cleaner lines, natural stone and wood, big glass and calm interiors. A good fit if you like a modern look with warmth.
Traditional
Georgian, craftsman, Tudor and French styles with true proportions and craft. Timeless, and demanding to build well.
How to choose
- Walk through homes you love and note what they share.
- Think about your lot and neighbors.
- Choose proportion and materials over trends.
