Pyramid Award Series, 2023 Award Winner | Farinelli Construction
When we think about building a home, we’re not just thinking about today—we’re thinking about how that space will serve a family for years to come. That’s exactly what inspired this Pyramid Award-winning custom home in Mechanicsburg.
This model home was designed with one simple idea in mind: room to grow. Whether you’re a young family just getting started or moving into a new phase of life, this home adapts right alongside you.
From the moment you arrive, the exterior sets the tone. The combination of Hardie fiber cement siding, a stained white oak porch, and warm reclaimed brick creates a timeless, welcoming feel. The custom deck out back, complete with modern vertical cable railing, offers the perfect spot to relax or entertain.
Inside, the heart of the home is the kitchen—and this one was built to stand out. Custom white oak cabinetry, granite countertops, and a hidden pantry (yes, a fully functioning one tucked behind a seamless door) make this space both beautiful and practical. Thoughtful details like handmade molding, a reclaimed brick accent wall, and an oversized corkboard add personality and purpose.
Throughout the home, you’ll notice vertical design elements like shiplap, reeded glass cabinet doors, and carefully placed windows that bring in natural light. Every detail was selected to create a clean, cohesive feel while still adding character.
The primary suite continues that custom approach with built-ins, a fully tailored vanity, and a spacious walk-in closet. One of our favorite features? The flexible bonus space connected to the suite. It can easily become a nursery, home office, or quiet retreat—whatever life calls for next.
Even the smaller spaces were thoughtfully designed. The powder room and front entry feature custom built-ins and handcrafted furniture pieces that make everyday moments feel elevated.
As a custom home builder in Mechanicsburg, we believe the best homes are the ones that evolve with you. This project is a perfect example of how intentional design and quality craftsmanship can create a space that truly feels like home—no matter what stage of life you’re in.
