We love when a family brings us a clear vision. For this custom home in Lovejoy Tennessee, our clients asked for a place that feels timeless, elegant, and ready for generations. As East Tennessee Contractors, we designed and built a home that blends architectural character with warm, livable spaces—perfect for quiet weekdays, busy work-from-home days, and full-house holiday gatherings.
The Vision: Timeless, Family-First Living
Our clients wanted a home that would never feel dated, on a family-owned century farm with wide pasture views. They also needed room to grow, space to host reunions, and a peaceful office to focus while life moves around them. We built with those goals at the center: beauty that lasts, flow that fits real life, and details that support daily comfort.
Custom Architecture That Welcomes
From the road, the gabled exterior and stone-accented porch set a warm tone. Inside, beam-lined ceilings and wood slat accents create a cozy, modern lodge feel. Tall 10′ ceilings make each room feel open, while a vaulted living room and primary suite add drama and light. Every finish supports a clean, modern style without chasing trends.
The Custom Kitchen: Bold, Bright, and Built for Home Gatherings
The kitchen sits at the heart of the home, open to the living room so no one misses a moment. We installed a quartz countertop with waterfall edges and a matching backsplash for a seamless, bold look. Natural light pours across the prep surfaces, while futuristic lighting keeps evenings bright without glare. The layout gives cooks space to move, kids space to help, and guests a place to gather. An oversized kitchen and living area makes holiday dinners and family parties feel easy, not crowded.
The Custom Primary Suite and Private Home Spaces
The primary bedroom brings calm with its vaulted ceiling and soft textures. The oversized luxury tile shower turns daily routines into a small retreat. His and Hers closets keep mornings simple. Two additional bedrooms and a dedicated office support growing family needs, homework time, and focused work calls without sacrificing privacy.
Indoor–Outdoor Flow With a View
A 16′ gliding back door opens the living room to a massive back porch designed for everyday use and big gatherings. We used suspended, stamped concrete for strength and style, and added cable rails so the view stays wide open. Morning coffee, weekend grilling, or sunset talks—this porch turns the pasture into a daily backdrop.
Custom Home Built to Last: Structure, Comfort, and Efficiency
Under the finishes, we invested in the bones. 2×6 exterior walls and cellulose insulation boost strength and thermal comfort. Solid poured block work and an oversized foundation add long-term stability. Andersen series windows bring in light while helping manage energy use. Concrete porches stand up to weather and wear. These choices protect the home now and for future generations.
Lighting, Technology, and Everyday Ease in a Custom Ranch Home
We planned futuristic lighting throughout to match the clean, modern design and to make daily life easy—bright task zones in the kitchen, warm ambient light in living spaces, and focused light for the office. The result feels sophisticated but simple to live in.
Designed for the Moments That Matter
This home supports family life in all seasons: work, play, holidays, and quiet nights. The flow keeps people connected without losing private corners. The materials feel current yet classic. Most of all, the home feels like the land—rooted, welcoming, and built for the long term. That was our client’s goal, and it guided every step of the build.
