Scotch Homes & Land Development Group, Inc is so excited to to build the 2017 Ideal Home in our Willow Branch community in Chelsea, Alabama. Scotch Homes was commissioned to be the builder on this exciting project by the Greater Birmingham Association of Home Builders and couldn’t be more honored to be a part of the event. The concept for the home was created by the team to emulate a true Modern Farmhouse with the charm of warm, inviting, Southern Hospitality mixed with the on trend housing features that are coming to the market.

Sitting atop a majestic ridge with views for days from the front door and back door and everywhere in between. As soon you pull up to the home you will immediately fall in love with the charm of the Farmhouse exterior with on trend painted brick, board and batten, cedar beams and stone patios. Enter into the soaring foyer to find your self in the midst of a fashion forward yet warm and inviting take on urban meets country side.

The 12 ft coffered ceiling, built in bookcases surrounding the shiplapped fireplace in the family room are not to be outdone by the fabulous 16ft all glass Western sliding door that creates an additional living space into onto the outdoor patio with outdoor kitchen including built in Coyote Gas Grill and Refrigerator. The dining area with soaring vaulted ceiling and warm trim accents is the perfect spot for the farm table for the whole family to sit and fellowship.

Inside the large chefs kitchen boasts a professional GE Café Appliance selection with a gas cooktop, built in oven, state of the art built in Kuerig Refrigerator and Monarch cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling. The 9ft plus waterfall wrapped silestone island and backsplash is breathtaking yet durable enough for cooking, entertaining and even homework with the kids.

Speaking of kids, the quaint dutch door that leads into “loading zone” off of the mud room is a perfect place to drop off the back packs and groceries when entering. The main level includes a spacious study/office perfect for working from home as well as a spacious master suite with a vaulted tray ceiling and sitting nook for enjoying the sunrise in the morning or a book in the evening. Once you enter into the Master bathroom you will think you have stepped into your own personal with serene marble accents,  the ultra mod free standing tub and 2 person shower with glass from floor to ceiling.

Upstairs is enough room for all the kids and guests ranging from oldest to youngest with an amazing TV Loft/Lounge centering the entertainment area of that level. This home is an amazing marriage of traditional farmhouse meets transitional modern amenities from the  rich dark 7″ hand-scraped hardwood flooring, and barn door leading to the laundry room to the Smart Home features by Nexia to the latest in trend lighting and plumbing by Fiess and Moen. This home is one you will never want to leave.

We can’t wait to share with you the progress as we go as well as the finished product!
