This contemporary farmhouse is the perfect place to relax with friends and family
Builder: Architerra
As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “A little simplification would be the first step toward rational living, I think.”
Life can feel overwhelmingly complex in this modern age. There’s a constant influx of stimuli, all sorts of news and sounds and external stressors out in the world that can lead to burnout and exhaustion, no matter one’s age or position. Finding a sense of peace, a place of rest, an oasis amid the onslaught becomes vital; our home should be our sanctuary.
“We design our homes with the families that will be living in them in mind,” said Lisa Briner, general manager and CFO of Architerra Homes. “We want to create an inviting space and community for our families to enjoy for years to come.”
Sometimes the trick is to keep it simple. This home sits on a 0.22-acre corner lot and has over 2,220 square feet of living space between three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms and an open main living area.

Bright, neutral tones contrast with dark accents to create depth and continuity throughout the home, as well as a backdrop for colorful accent pieces.
“The simple comfort of this home is very relatable,” said Carri Berglund, Architerra’s director of customer relations and design center. “The exterior monochromatic farm style and interior tones paired well to make it a cozy living space.”
Vaulted ceilings in the living room and master suite create a lofty and spacious sensation, while Architerra’s standard 9-foot ceilings and 8-foot doors throughout the rest of the home ensure that everyone feels comfortable no matter what room they’re in.
“As we have experienced, ‘post-Covid’ home life is about creating an environment to welcome friends and enjoy family,” Berglund said. “Whether you prefer sitting by the fire, bellying up to the large kitchen island or enjoying an evening on the back covered patio, you will feel connected.”
It’s easy to imagine hosting birthday parties and holiday gatherings thanks to the open great room, large kitchen island, outdoor entertainment space and large backyard. A three-car attached garage connects to the yard so that there’s plenty of room and storage for outdoor living, whether storing bikes, ATVs, a lawnmower, a boat or family cars.
“We appreciate the little things, and work as a team with our employees, trades and partners to produce beautiful homes for families to enjoy for many years to come regardless of what stage of life they are in,” said Berglund. “Coeur d’Alene is truly a special place.” N
