There’s a difference between a home that checks boxes and one that sets a standard, and 1914 Beechwood lands firmly in the second category. Built by Maker, with architectural direction by Allard Ward and interiors by ALK Designs, this is not a house that leans on trends, it’s one that understands them, refines them, and moves past them. Every surface feels considered, not just selected but placed with intention, as the palette carries, quietly but confidently, from room to room, layered greens, warm woods, moments of contrast, texture that invites you in without ever overwhelming the space. It’s a level of restraint that’s hard to execute and even harder to find. What stands out isn’t excess, it’s control. The cabinetry, the tile work, the transitions between materials, nothing feels accidental. There’s a rhythm to the interiors, something you notice in the way light moves through the rooms and how each space reveals itself without trying too hard. This is taste-making design, not formula-driven construction, rejecting the expected and replacing it with something far more deliberate. And then there’s how it lives. Three distinct porches create a natural extension of the home, each with its own purpose and tone, while the screened porch, anchored by a fireplace and outdoor kitchen, feels like a destination, not an add-on. The yard is fully realized and hardscaped with intention, designed to be used, not just admired, set on an expanded lot that gives the property real presence. Behind it all, the functionality matches the design, a rare three-car garage, a laundry room on every level, a half bath on every level, and a basement-level pool party kitchen with a dedicated pool bath that turns the backyard into a true hosting environment. Plenty of homes aim to impress, this one understands how to endure.
