South Shores Homestead

Modern Farmhouse Bungalow
Located within the prestigious South Shores community in Stevensville, The South Shores Homestead was originally designed as a model home by DRT Custom Homes & Renovations—a residence created to showcase the firm’s signature blend of thoughtful design, refined craftsmanship, and modern farmhouse elegance.

Even before construction was completed, the home captured the attention of buyers and was sold prior to completion—demonstrating the appeal of a carefully curated design where every finish, material, and architectural detail was thoughtfully selected.

The result is a residence that balances timeless farmhouse character with contemporary comfort and functionality.

Client Vision
As a model home, the vision behind this project was to demonstrate how a thoughtfully designed bungalow could offer both architectural impact and comfortable everyday living. The goal was to create a home that felt open, welcoming, and beautifully detailed while showcasing finishes that would appeal to modern homeowners seeking warmth and sophistication.

Design Inspiration
Drawing inspiration from contemporary farmhouse architecture, the home blends classic design elements with modern materials. Clean lines, warm wood tones, and layered textures create a space that feels timeless while maintaining the simplicity and charm associated with farmhouse living.

Unique Features
A defining feature of the home is its dramatic cathedral ceiling in the great room, paired with a fully integrated audio system designed to enhance entertaining and everyday living. The home also showcases a carefully curated palette of finishes selected to demonstrate how thoughtful design can elevate a space even before homeowners personalize it.
