Strong Street Presence

Strong Street Presence Dark and lighter green paint colors, appealing siding and a roof using high-dimension shingles give the Craftsman home a strong road presence and major control appeal.



Friendly Front Porch The front porch has carefully selected details which make the space the ideal place for casual conversation or enjoying a glass of iced tea on a warm day.



Welcoming Space Different patterns add texture to the welcoming front porch, which offers a relaxed area for appreciating the neighborhood and street life.



Have a Seat Four modern weather-resistant teak rocking chairs with a gentle curve onto the chair and back provide comfortable seating on the porch. The chairs include jute and wool pillows with a split-weave layout and black cotton back.



Funky Footstools Four ivory-and-black handmade wool-and-jute puff footstools supply function and add pattern and texture into the porch.



Iron Side Tables Two black square side tables made from high quality iron include an industrial touch to the inviting front porch.



Striped Area Rug A durable mildew- and mold-resistant bone and black striped area rug, placed over grey composite decking, offers a cozy surface underfoot and provides bold design to front porch.



First-Rate Front Door The house's attractive Craftsman-style fiberglass front door in a medium reddish brown wood tone offers the look and feel of wood with the durability and efficiency of fiberglass.



Handsome Handle The front door's sturdy exterior handle includes a pleasing patina that offers the perfect finishing touch to the entry.



Extra Touch A dentil shelf adds authentic Craftsman personality and dimension into the home's handsome front entrance door.



Got Mail A wall-mount mailbox by the house's front door provides an easy way to get and send mail, and the at-door style reflects the metropolitan community.



Sleek Fans A set of slick contemporary vintage-style ceiling fans helps circulate the air from above and maintain the front porch cool on hot days.



Lovely Landscaping Hydrangeas, monkey grass and Japanese maples are part of this graceful landscaping beyond the front porch of this HGTV Urban Oasis 2016. The landscape was created by students from nearby University of Michigan.



Smooth-Leaf Hydrangeas The smooth-leaf hydrangeas that dot the house's landscaping have creamy flower heads which form flattened spheres and add beauty and texture to the lawn.



Low-Maintenance Perennial Coneflower attracts butterflies and birds to the lawn and provides a wonderful cut flower to gather, add to a vase and deliver inside the house to decorate the table.



Lush Surroundings This view looking towards the rear of the screened porch highlights the home's lush and green surroundings that feature a well-chosen selection of flowers, plants and trees.



Urban Farming From the garden, a rookie chicken coop handcrafted from 100 percent North American Look Grade Western Red Cedar means a supply of fresh eggs stays within easy reach.



Pretty Privacy Screen Among the most popular evergreen privacy screens, arborvitae also adds height and texture to the lush lawn.



Raised Garden Beds From the edible garden also made by students from University of Michigan, galvanized corrosion-resistant troughs with around ends create raised beds for tomatoes, basil, dill, nasturtium and more edibles. Holes were drilled to the bottom of the troughs to provide sufficient drainage.



Fresh Tomatoes Homegrown striped heirloom cherry tomatoes develop from the backyard, ready to top a salad or be eaten whole as snacks.



Proper Size Tomatoes and lemongrass sit nearby the durable starter chicken coop that shields hens in a small footprint created for an urban yard.



Nice Capabilities The ergonomically friendly starter chicken coop with updraft ventilated roost includes a waterer and feeder to keep the hens contented and healthy.



Marvelous Mint Fresh mint which can be used to add bright flavor and aroma in an infinite number of recipes grows in the yard's galvanized troughs.



Variety of Herbs Basil, dill and nasturtium also grow in the house's lush backyard. Nasturtium offers beautiful colour with edible flowers and leaves that have a hot taste akin to arugula.



Pest Protector A variety of lettuces, tomatoes and marigolds sit side by side in the garden, with marigolds planted with tomatoes to ward off pests.



Rain Runoff Option A frequent garden design technique for handling rain runoff in metropolitan areas, here a dry creek bed and rain garden includes tough plants that may take changes from wet to dry. The design accomplishes bright landscaping that fits the setting.



Smart Yard Design Also part of this garden's smart rain runoff alternative, big boulders framework stairs leading up the rear of the home surrounded by perennial grasses and hydrangeas.



Durable Dog House With strong pest-rot resistant construction, the home's compact dog home is also water resistant using a raised floor and trimming feet to provide outdoor pets a comfy and durable home.



Hangout Spot The back door and stairs lead in the mudroom in the courtyard, a hangout place with a system of openings between the home and the garage and screened porch back. A fairly container of creeping jenny and begonia adds a touch of color and texture.



Beautiful Bikes A set of high quality six-speed electric bicycles, ideal for exploring the area and commuting to work, come with a charger, a lithium ion battery and a tool kit, and they're a part of the HGTV Urban Oasis 2016 decoration package.
