The design

The Tekoa pairs the warmth of the Craftsman tradition with a layout built for the way families actually live. A two-story great room anchors the main floor, open to a kitchen with a center island and walk-in pantry, while the primary suite sits on the main level — a quiet retreat away from the stairs. Stone column bases, cedar-shake accents, and deep overhanging eaves give the elevation its hand-built character; inside, nine-foot first-floor ceilings and a hardwood staircase carry the detail through. At 2,250 square feet with a two-car garage and a full basement ready to finish, the Tekoa is the most approachable home in the collection without ever feeling like the smallest — an ideal first build at Nathaniel Hill.
