Brantham is a modern farmhouse custom build in Charlotte — a style that has earned its longevity by getting the basics right. We built this home with the details that define the style well: board-and-batten siding, black-trimmed windows, cedar gable brackets and porch columns, carriage-style wood garage doors, and standing-seam metal porch roofing. The deep covered front porch invites you in long before you reach the door.
Inside, the home pairs that classic exterior with a contemporary open plan. A two-story foyer opens to a staircase with white oak treads and iron spindles beneath a wagon-wheel chandelier. A wide-plank oak floor runs throughout, paired with a deliberately restrained palette that gives every room room to breathe.
The office sits at the front of the home — a quiet study moment with deep navy built-ins, brass picture lights, and a writing desk framed by a window to the lawn. From the foyer, the home opens to the heart of the plan: a great room with a limestone fireplace, an open dining area, and a chef's kitchen organized around an oversized island. The kitchen's two-tone cabinetry, brass pendants, and pro-grade range anchor the everyday rhythm of the house. A walk-in pantry and a built-in mudroom keep the daily mechanics out of sight.
The primary suite is a quiet retreat — French doors to the rear yard, a crystal chandelier above the bed, and a spa bath with a glass-enclosed shower, a freestanding tub, and a generous double vanity. Four additional bedrooms — each with its own bath and a distinct design identity — give the home room to grow with a family or host extended visits.
Upstairs, the bonus room flexes between everyday family use and serious entertaining: a vaulted ceiling, a shuffleboard table, and a lounge area that can host a crowd. A designer powder bath and a patterned-tile laundry add to the home's everyday charm.
Out back, a deep covered outdoor living room — cedar ceiling, ceiling fans, a stone outdoor fireplace, and adjacent dining — extends the home's gathering space into nine months of the year. A flat, fully fenced backyard offers room for the things outdoor living rooms make room for: a game of catch, a hammock, a slow evening with friends.
