Project Summary:

This modern reproduction of a classic American Foursquare is easily one of the most unique residential projects in our portfolio. Situated on a secluded property in Sandy, Oregon, this beautiful custom home combines past and present to form its truly original design. The first floor opens to an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with intricate Craftsman-style built-ins and box beam ceilings. There’s also a separate study area, pantry, half bathroom, and mudroom, along with a spacious covered porch and backyard deck. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a master suite with an en suite bathroom. One floor up, a 392 sq. ft. attic offers the ideal setting for family fun.

Much like its predecessors, this custom home design features tons of ornate details throughout that capture the extravagance of an early twentieth-century home. For instance, our clients decided to incorporate enamel artwork in their hardwood floors – an unconventional detail that gives this home a distinct historic feel. These clients also opted to include custom built-ins with dark wood stain in their living space, which are remarkably similar to those in older Craftsman-style homes. Additionally, the inclusion of Art Nouveau lighting and Craftsman-style windows contribute to this home’s authentic Foursquare appearance while modern amenities throughout bring it up to speed.
