From award-winning designer Michael E. Nelson comes a stunning addition to our French Country House Collection. Cumberland Trace gives you just over 1,700 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. This floor plan also features an attached 2-car garage. This home gives you some amazing curb appeal with a unique roofline and the mixture of exterior elements. The natural colored stonework mixes with light colored brick, letting the darker wood of the garage and shutters stand out even more. A covered porch featuring brickwork steps and columns and a beaded ceiling displays a sense of refinement due to the closed in space and the dark wood of the door. On the inside of Cumberland Trace, you will find an open floor plan that includes the dining room, kitchen, and great room. The master suite gives you plenty of space to relax, while the other bedrooms give the kiddos plenty of space to grow.

Open Floor Plan

As you enter Cumberland Trace, you are greeted by the foyer, which features a tall ceiling and a closet that is perfect for storing outerwear. 

Stepping from the foyer, you make your way immediately into the open floor plan that includes the great room, kitchen, and dining area. The Great Room sits below a vaulted ceiling with rustic exposed beams, as well as space for an optional fireplace along the left wall of the space. Along the rear wall of the space, you will find large windows that face the rear of the home and view the covered grilling porch, which continues the traditional look from the rest of the house with brick columns. A large brickwork fireplace is also found along this wall and accentuates the luxury of this room.

Separating the great room from the Kitchen, a kitchen island gives you bar seating for 4, along with the perfect place to wash up from mealtimes. The sink and dishwasher both face the great room and informal dining area, giving you the ability to keep an eye on the comings and goings as you wash up from the meal. The rest of the kitchen gives you plenty of countertops for prepping meals and room for a modest pantry. 

Adjacent to the kitchen is the Dining Room, which sits below a high ceiling and is wide enough to accommodate even the largest of family gatherings. A wall of windows looking out onto the rear of the property offer tons of natural light to your dining experience, in addition to an entrance to the back-grilling porch.

Directly off the garage is the laundry room. This gives you the perfect place to get rid of some mess before you step any further onto those clean floors. (Anyone else hear that in your grandmother’s voice?)

Split Bedroom Design

At the front of Cumberland Trace and to the right, you will find Bedrooms 2 and 3. Both of these bedrooms have identical closet space and access to the hall bathroom on this floor. Bedroom 3 has a vaulted ceiling and a bit of a larger space for a mirror.

On the left side of the first floor is the Master Suite. The master bedroom has a tall optional 10-foot boxed ceiling. The Master Bath not only gives you double vanities, a free-standing tub, and a corner shower, but also a large walk-in closet with plenty of space for even the biggest shopping trip!
