Set Against a Forest Backdrop, This Family Abode Is Stylishly Cottagecore Yet Timeless
Our Langley custom home, designed and built by Homestead Design Build, was recently featured in the Vancouver Sun.
This timeless, cottage-inspired home showcases multigenerational design, custom millwork, and thoughtful craftsmanship—built to serve every chapter of family life.

This was more than a build. It was a personal journey—a chance to create a space that reflects our values as both a family and a Fraser Valley-based custom builder: quality craftsmanship, timeless design, and a commitment to homes that serve families across generations.
A Kitchen That Does It All
The kitchen, described in the article as the “centrepiece” of the home, is where form and function meet in harmony. The Vancouver Sun highlights our custom-framed hood fan, with its soft, statuesque curves and built-in shelving—proof that utility can be beautiful.
We made the deliberate choice to hang artwork over the range—a nod to living spaces that feel curated, not cookie-cutter. The backsplash? A full slab of soft green quartz—uninterrupted, elegant, and easy to maintain. These small decisions, layered together, speak to the kind of thoughtful design we believe in.
Details That Build a Home
Throughout the home, the materials speak for themselves. Fieldstone, first used in the living room fireplace, reappears by the kitchen sink—creating visual continuity and adding warmth. As Cody noted in the article, “Ash did a really good job of bringing that stone over by the sink to tie the two areas together.”
The cabinetry is a study in quiet luxury—a mix of white and rift-cut white oak, balanced with polished chrome hardware. And tucked into the Caesarstone-topped island? A built-in feeding nook for our dog Cali, because a true family home is one where even the smallest details are considered.
Designed for a Lifetime—Not Just a Moment
What the Vancouver Sun captured so well is that this home wasn’t built to chase trends. It was built to last. Designed with multigenerational living in mind, every space balances beauty and purpose. From shared family areas to private pockets of retreat, each room is a reflection of the way real families live.
As a Langley-based custom home builder, this project embodies everything we stand for at Homestead Design Build: timeless design, enduring quality, and homes that hold generations.
A sun-filled Langley living room designed for connection and comfort. Featuring wall-to-wall gridded sliding doors, natural stone fireplace, and timeless finishes, this space blends modern functionality with cottage charm.
