Built in 2011, the home’s interiors boast a cohesive color palette featuring the classic combo of black and white. These hues are offset with unexpected pops of green and vibrant wallpaper patterns, like the animated print found in the powder room. “Outside, the exterior of the house boasts a subdued neutral shade—while all the color you expect from a painted lady can be found inside,” says Heather Herr, founder and CEO of Team Herr Real Estate. “The current homeowner wanted something more contemporary and modern in the home’s style.”

The rich black shade in the kitchen and rooms with dark wainscoting offer a unique juxtaposition when paired with the lighter hardwood wood floors, she says. giving a feeling of depth while making the home’s style feel playful and fun.
Aside from its beautiful interiors, 438 Strafer provides eco-conscious and low maintenance perks as well. A greenrama model and Silver Star LEED certified abode, the house comes with a geothermal heating and cooling system covering its more than 2600 square feet, which includes four beds and four baths.

A sprawling front yard and window boxes render instant curb appeal. But with no backyard, additional lawn upkeep is unnecessary. Instead, two large, private walkout decks satisfy the need for ample outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining.
Location-wise, the home is ideal for both introverts and extraverts. The former will enjoy that the abode sits on a quiet cul-de-sac, and the latter will appreciate how the community comes to life with regular block parties and events.
