Designing a house is one of the ultimate opportunities for self-expression. For long-time locals Curtis Ottinger and Herb Pettit, they made sure to instill that personal touch in every corner of their home.

The couple decided to build this new home after being in their previous one for about 10 years. Part of the appeal of moving was joining a tight-knit community. “We had some friends move to this neighborhood, so by visiting, we got to know more people here than we knew in our old neighborhood,” shares Herb. Curtis agrees, adding, “We really enjoy it here. This is a really friendly, social area. As soon as you turn off the main road, there’s usually people walking their dogs or just chatting with each other.”
The new build was also the perfect opportunity to totally customize their home, both inside and out. The exterior of this home boasts an eye-catching asymmetrical roofline with brick corbeling to accentuate the gable corners. The brick is painted School House White with trim in Tanner’s Brown – all contributing to a high-contrast, yet warm-toned exterior.
