Seminole Heights

The Kenneth

The HomeSeminole Heights

A Seminole Heights two-story that glows at dusk — modern farmhouse outside, wide-open living within.

The Kenneth reads best at dusk, which is when it was photographed. Board-and-batten, black windows, a black front door, and a black standing-seam metal awning over the entry, landing on a brick pier.

The garage is detached and sits at the back of the lot, off a long side drive. That is the Seminole Heights pattern, and it is the reason the front yard is still a yard. The live oak out back was there before the house and stayed.

Inside: white shaker cabinets, a herringbone tile backsplash, a black island with brass pulls, a wall oven and microwave stacked beside it, glass-globe pendants overhead, and white oak floors running open to the living room.
