Howell House

In a story similar to many of their neighbors, Jim and John Howell knew they wanted to move to Serenbe the first time they visited. They immediately dived into the design process, then 3 months after they first came to the community, the Howells were building their dream home! Jim and John were part of every building decision from furniture, door knobs and decor to brick patterns and the wood used in exposed beams. The modern farmhouse facade is a gorgeous board and batten with tin roof and painted-brick foundation.

As is traditional of the style, the home is painted white and includes plenty of functional porches. Though not visible from the street, their home is designed with an L shape floor plan to bring the outside in, with a terrace courtyard sitting between the main living room and private master suite.

The home was built in 2016 by McKinney Builders, and was designed by Steve Dray and Cecelia Winston of Serenbe Planning & Design.
