THE BARKLEY

Overview

The Barkley is distinctive without feeling formal, with a layout that creates natural separation between gathering spaces, guest accommodations, and the private primary retreat. At 3,236 square feet, the plan offers four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, a two-car garage, and flexible spaces that can adapt as the way you live changes.

A main-level guest bedroom and flex room add versatility near the front of the home, while the kitchen and great room form an open, connected center for everyday living. Upstairs, an architectural open-to-below design introduces volume and light while leading to the primary suite, two additional bedrooms, and a spacious bonus room.

For homeowners building on their own land in Middle Tennessee, The Barkley offers a strong starting point: generous without feeling oversized, flexible without losing definition, and designed to work with a variety of homesites subject to site evaluation.

First Floor Living: Defined Yet Connected

The front door opens into a welcoming entry that immediately reveals The Barkley’s balance of openness and structure. Just off the foyer, a flex room can serve as formal dining, a private office, a study, or a quiet retreat, depending on how you want the home to function.

Nearby, a main-level bedroom with full-bath access provides useful separation for guests, extended family, or a dedicated work space. Its location allows this room to feel connected to the home without being part of the main living core.

The great room anchors the first floor with generous proportions and natural light. Engineered hardwood flooring creates continuity through the living areas, while the open relationship between the great room, kitchen, and dining area keeps everyday gathering easy and connected.

The kitchen opens directly to the great room, creating a central living space designed for both everyday routines and larger gatherings. At its center:

• • • Oversized island designed for gathering
    • Quartz countertops
    • Upgraded cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers
    • Tile backsplash
    • Energy Star stainless steel appliances
    • Walk-in pantry for everyday organization

The dining area remains integrated but defined, allowing conversation and movement to flow naturally from the kitchen to the great room.

A covered rear porch extends the living space outdoors and can be oriented with the homesite in mind, creating a natural place to enjoy the setting around the home.

A powder room and access to the two-car garage complete the main level with thoughtful functionality.

Second Floor: A Private Retreat with Architectural Character

Upstairs, an open-to-below overlook creates one of The Barkley’s defining architectural moments, adding volume and visual connection while still allowing the second floor to feel distinctly private.

The primary suite is positioned on this level, creating a retreat removed from the activity of the main floor. The en-suite bath includes:

• • • Large tiled shower
    • Soaking tub
    • Dual vanities
    • Private water closet
    • Walk-in closet

Two additional secondary bedrooms are also located upstairs, each with generous closet space and convenient access to a full bathroom.

A spacious bonus room gives the upper level room to flex as a media space, recreation room, secondary living area, or retreat. The upstairs utility room keeps laundry convenient to the bedrooms and everyday routines.
