Moonrise

This Middleton new home build is for an owner who wanted to downsize without giving up style and storage. Arches, warm pops of real wood, and a California influence give the home distinct character. Built-ins and accessibility abound —  there are zero-step entries at both the front door and garage, a zero-threshold shower in the primary suite, and a single staircase that keeps every essential space on one level.

Iron Gray vertical board-and-batten siding wraps the exterior, accented by timber brackets and a metal roof. A recessed, covered front entry, clad in vertical Douglas fir tongue-and-groove wall and ceiling paneling, welcomes you inside.

The great room delivers the home’s biggest wow factor: a wood barrel-vaulted ceiling, arched wood beams, and a prominent arched picture window. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace features a floating wood mantel and built-in display shelves.

An open-concept accessory dwelling unit (ADU) offers a private retreat complete with a kitchen, pantry, bathroom, stacked laundry, and a balcony above the garage.

This is the third custom home by Brio Design Homes in Belle Farm, a neighborhood that combines diverse architecture and sustainable construction with natural beauty and walkability. Homes incorporate passive design elements, geothermal systems, solar panels and more, achieving net-zero status, where they produce as much energy as they use.
