Why I Love The Langley Model
This day is both happy and sad for me. Happy because we’re turning the keys over to our Langley Model in Falls Church today and sad because we’re turning the keys over to our Langley Model in Falls Church today. I love this home. To the point where I’ve actually become quite attached to it over the last several months. It’s silly really. But it has been one of my favorite spec homes we’ve built recently. I love everything about this design!
The Langley Model is fast becoming one of our most popular designs. At 3800 square feet, it has all of the features and space you would expect. The flow of the design just feels good – it’s different, yet classic. Here are the top 3 design elements I LOVE about the Langley Model.
#1 – The Entrance
The front door is off-set which is a totally different look from most of our designs. I think it is still makes sense while being completely unique.
The dining room is to the side of the foyer.
Isn’t the light fixture pretty? Find it HERE.
The secondary foyer opens up to the upper hallway and stairs.
It also has this awesome built-in seat with hooks for guest coats.
The front door looks so good (we stained this one). I love all of the glass – makes the foyer feel very open!
#2 – The Main Living Areas
When I am standing at the island of this home, I don’t want to leave. The way the family room is right off the kitchen just makes sense to me. I entertain A LOT and love this layout.
No matter what we do, when we have company over everyone stands at the kitchen island which is why I love that the nook is tucked to the side in this house.
We added the coffered ceiling and built-in shelves at the fireplace to this home. If you’re looking for a way to up the look of your home, adding custom trim features is the way to go. It is incredible how it changes the feel of a room.
#3 – The Flex Space
I’m a sucker for good flex space. Gone are the days of formal living rooms with a predetermined use. Buyers want to be able to use the space for their needs. The Langley Model has 2 areas of flex space I would LOVE to have in my home.
On the first floor, the flex space can be used as a guest room, hobby room or playroom.
There is a nice sized closet inside the room and it is all tucked away from the main living area with access to a full bathroom.
The second flex space is also on the first floor. This one is off the kitchen…
This room can be used for additional pantry space or wine storage. We finished this space as a pocket office and I love it. The window seat and the wainscoting trim throughout gives this simple space character. It’s separated by a pocket door for privacy. Oh how I would love this space in my home!
