Picking a new home isn’t just about what's inside—it’s about that first impression, the curb appeal that makes you stop and say, "This feels right." Memorial West has homes that do just that, whether you love sleek modern lines or lush, leafy privacy. Here are six active listings that show off just how good living here can look.

1. Charcoal Meets Cream Elegance

Charcoal Stone and Cream Facade

Imagine a house that pairs the gritty charm of charcoal fiber cement siding with smooth, clean white stucco panels. This home nails the balance perfectly, with stacked limestone veneer adding just enough texture to keep things interesting. When dusk falls, big black-framed windows glow amber like lanterns, turning sharp rooflines into a modern art piece against the sky. The driveway? Smooth concrete touched with subtle landscape lights, giving the entry a polished, contemporary feel. The secret here is mixing rough and smooth—dark horizontal siding alongside bright stone, warmed up by soft lighting.

2. Crisp White Brick and Dramatic Slate

There’s something captivating about a single-story with bright white brick as its canvas. This home's clean lines pop further with a dark charcoal metal roof that commands attention without shouting. Black window frames and a matte black front door lend a sleek, Scandinavian vibe into the mix. But it’s the green lawn and pale gravel path that soften the edges, inviting guests along without going over the top. The takeaway: light bricks with dark roofing and trim create a low-maintenance look that’s both bold and effortlessly fresh.

3. Warm Sunset Brick Paired with Black Iron Details

Sunset Brick and Black Iron

Step into this warm, honey-toned brick home that seems to soak up the golden hour like no other. A second-floor balcony trimmed in black metal railings adds a cool, urban twist to the traditional masonry. At night, the garage and driveway bask in gentle amber light, setting off the inviting vibe. Surrounding trees and a mature deciduous frame the home with natural softness, making it feel like a calm retreat. Want this look? Blend classic brick with sleek black metal touches and landscape lighting that feels like a warm hug.

4. Mid-Century Charm with Weathered Cedar

Weathered Cedar and Gravel Paths

Low-key architecture shines here—with weathered cedar shingles and earthy-toned siding creating a home that feels both timeless and tied to nature. Large rectangular windows break up the upper level with dark frames, beckoning in natural light. A gravel walkway winds invitingly through neat boxwood hedges, while mature oaks and a soft green lawn soften the home’s angles. This is a look for anyone craving a peaceful, organic vibe: warm wood siding plus natural paths and layered greenery equals easy, comfortable style.

5. Canopy-Style Courtyard Living

Canopy-Style Courtyard Communities

Picture this: low-slung gabled roofs nestled deep within a canopy of towering live oaks and green trunks. These homes lean into privacy, where dark, weathered shingles contrast beautifully with cream-colored stucco and brick. Cul-de-sacs bloom with manicured lawns and a sparkling azure pool at their heart—think of it like a hidden resort inside the neighborhood woods. If privacy and that serene "away-from-it-all" vibe are top priorities, this style puts that peaceful promise on full display.

6. Wooded Entry with Wildflower Whimsy

Wooded Entry with Wildflower Charm

There’s a moment of charm before you even step inside this home—starting with a natural wood entry sign standing proud amid thick, green foliage. Nearby, a raised garden bed spills wildflowers in pops of magenta and white, edged with rough stone that feels perfectly imperfect. A slender black metal fence snakes gently through the greenery, adding just the right dose of refined structure. This home invites a sense of peaceful retreat, blending manicured landscaping with the wild beauty of mature woods. For a similar feel, just pair simple wood accents with vibrant flower beds and natural stone.
