When a Southern couple living in the San Francisco area decided to build their dream house, they wanted to create a home for their children that had the feel and character of where they both grew up. “That meant including things like the wraparound porches you’d find on a beautiful old plantation house,” designer Tineke Triggs of Artistic Design for Living told Luxe magazine. Located on a one-acre lot in Atherton, Los Angeles-based architect Tim Barber and senior project manager Kirk Snyder worked with Tineke to create a classically proportioned Georgian-style farmhouse with clapboard siding and a cedar shake roof. This traditional “new old home” is sure to withstand the test of time. Today we will take a tour with photography from Luxe and additional images from Tim Barber’s portfolio and Pinterest account. So please fix yourself a mint julep or glass of iced tea… let’s take a respite from the dreadful Covid-19 news and enjoy! 🙂

Lovely details.
Atherton is not Southern California. Atherton is near Palo Alto and Menlo Park in Northern California.
Hi Barbara,
Thank you for the note. My apologies for the confusion, I meant that the couple is originally from the Southern half of the United States. 🙂
All the best,
Andrea

Stunning home! Wish there were more details, like how many square feet, etc.
Oooh, this was a fantastic post. Thank you. I love everything about this home including those brass hardware details.
Wow! Love everything about this home. The lighting fixtures are especially lovely.
I usually do not like new construction, but this one has me utterly charmed. It has all the ambiance of my 100 year old home. I hope this is a trend that will stay.
How delightful to see the abundant use of color in a new construction.
Wow! Just wow!
You were perfectly clear when you said that they are a southern couple living in the San Francisco area. Don’t know how you could have been any clearer. You didn’t need to apologize to someone who misinterpreted it!
Love seeing the pictures of this gorgeous home. Thank you for this bit of normalcy in trying times.
It’s all so lovely, really. I’d like to know what pattern/color wallpaper was used for the pink bedroom (Lotus blossoms?) and the color/brand/sheen used for the blue butler pantry.
