Fireplaces

Jill and Toby chose the most secluded downstairs bedroom to sleep in, yielding the two upstairs bedrooms to their daughters.

In the backyard, a fire pit also serves as a grill thanks to grates that slide back and forth on steel rails. “We cook on it all the time,” says Briana. “I think it’s my husband’s favorite part of the house.” The fire pit was designed by Briana and features and grates from Grate Grates. The patio chairs shown in the background are from Direct Furniture Modern Home.

The concrete wall behind the porch provides a backdrop for the wood stove and privacy from the road.
