For this professional family with two kids, their primary goal when designing their new dream home was to create a space that felt classic and timeless, yet also incorporated fun, unexpected accents. They worked alongside architectural designer Christopher Phelps, custom builder Arcadia Builders in Charlotte NC, and interior designer Emily Malcolm to create a casual chic dream home that is totally tailored to their lifestyle and hobbies.
Located in SouthPark, this home is 6,500 square feet and includes four bedrooms, four full baths, and two half-baths. “We really wanted to focus on comfort throughout the design, making sure the space felt inviting and relaxed. It’s a place where you can unwind and feel at home,” says Arcadia Builders’ construction designer, Holly Taylor.
Begin by entering through a stunning, curved, double-door entryway. Gravitate toward the kitchen, where a stunning backsplash from Tile Collection and elegant, artful lighting from J. Landon are the focal points. As a matter of fact, pull up a chair at the spacious island, or wander into the adjoining living room.
By day, sliding glass doors that open onto the back patio bathe the living room in natural light. By night, the dramatic flickers of a crackling fire offer ambiance as well as warmth. Off the living room, there’s a formal dining room. Here, a beautifully colorful wet bar with brass accents complements the room’s modern yet elegant brass chandelier.

Outside, a spacious screened in porch with dining area, grilling space, and a living area oriented around a fireplace and mounted flat screen offers the perfect setting for summer cookouts, fall football games, and winter sunsets. Beyond the porch, a sparkling, blue pool with a soaking area beckons on hot days. On the other hand, a steamy hot tub calls on cooler nights. Moreover, poolside seating for every occasion — such as a table and chairs for al fresco dining, armchairs for casual catch ups, and lounge chairs for summer sunbathing — dot the edge of the pool.
Bordering the pool on one side is a lush pool cabana. Inside, there’s everything the homeowner or their guests could possibly need. For example, there’s a full bar, a handsome ping pong table by Plank & Hide Co., casual seating nooks, and a half-bath to help wet bodies avoid dripping their way through the main house.
On the other side of the pool, a long building attached to the main house contains an actual tennis court. High ceilings ensure errant hits can reach their full height. Additionally, tall barn doors open to fresh breezes and natural light. It’s the perfect — if unconventional — addition for a family who eats, sleeps, and breathes tennis. Ultimately, it’s the cherry on top for a home that was built, designed, and furnished as thoughtfully as it was originally dreamed up by the homeowners.
