One of the newest and most extraordinary communities in Fargo- Moorhead, The Peninsula of Charleswood Estates features seven sought-after lots in a soon-to-be gated community. With anticipation, we awaited the erection of the first home and were delighted to be invited by Trever Hill Design to tour this 5,960-square-foot modern abode. Entering the secluded neighborhood surrounded by water and tranquil woods, we were greeted with modern architecture and natural elements fused perfectly with their surroundings.

Project Goal
“The homeowners definitely wanted it to look modern with some rustic elements to help create warmth. Last February, we began working on the finishes, layout and mantel. When we started working together, they mentioned they liked the style in the urban loft of Susan Hozak and Jason Cardinal we’d featured a while back. They loved how it was modern with some cool, stark elements but also had warmth. To give them some of those elements, we grabbed the entire family and trekked to Minneapolis to find some of those pieces that could make a big statement from stores such as Arhaus, Crate & Barrel and Restoration Hardware,” explained designer Trever Hill.

“When building this home, we wanted a truly custom, one-of-a-kind home that has not only a unique look but a style and finish that portrayed our lifestyle.” – Homeowner
Dining Room
This family of six wanted room to grow and plenty of space for entertaining. To suit a larger crowd, Hill and the homeowners searched for the largest wood table from Restoration Hardware. Rustic wood is used in a painted black finish and seating for 14 is achieved with gray-toned captains chairs and plush leather settee benches. “For the chandelier, we used three sets of eight drop glass pendants to create one larger focal point,” said Hill.

Living Room
Framing in the scenery of the wooded peninsula, 12-foot ceilings and spacious windows are tinted for privacy and left unobstructed for optimum views. Hill chose an antique camel cart to serve as a gorgeous centerpiece amid gray linen sectionals, special ordered with a pass-through for better flow throughout the large room. Two hidden flatscreen TVs flank the stunning metal mantle fabricated by Straightline Design. Appearing as an ultra-plush rug, inlaid carpet was installed in just the living room to add warmth to the large scale of the room.

“The shelving on the mantel is an idea that just came to me when I was trying to think of how to do floating shelves. The homeowners wanted to use wood from their old barn built in the 1800s. So we had Straightline Design fabricate the I-beams and fill the top of them with wood from the barn.” – Trever Hill
Kitchen
Creating texture and interest in the kitchen, Hill and the homeowners chose a bold granite with a matte, leather finish. Hickory cabinetry in a modern style and dark finish is kept simple with focus on the backsplash tile and gourmet appliances. Not shown, the owners also have a butler pantry equipped with wine fridge, microwave and other appliances. Hill and the homeowner chose a bronze tile backsplash with a metallic sheen to mimic the industrial elements throughout the home.

Breakfast Nook
In the breakfast nook, views of the peninsula’s natural facade take center stage with seating for ten at the concrete table from Crate and Barrel’s modern line of furniture, CB2.
“The homeowners didn’t just want to choose any type of decor to fill their home. They asked for every piece we chose to be quality. They wanted these pieces to make a statement and have a purpose.” – Trever Hill
Overall Home Design
Hill and the homeowners chose a beautiful Brazilian Acacia wood flooring, hickory cabinetry and poplar millwork through much of the home. The main level boasts 12-foot ceilings, with nine-foot ceilings upstairs and downstairs.
Stairwell
“Originally, the staircase design was quite a bit more closed-in, incorporating more sheetrock. We wanted to open up this design, so I started working with Eric from Straightline Design to come up with this plan. Eric had the idea of replacing some of the actual structure with I-beams to give it that industrial, modern look, really opening up the stairwell with more natural light,” said Hill. For the lighting, Hill chose three separate pendant fixtures installed together and adjusted to varying lengths to create this nine-pendant waterfall drop chandelier. “These bulbs are LED-dimmable Edison bulbs, one of the newest bulbs on the market,” said Hill.

Hallway & Master Bedroom
Making a grand entrance to the master bedroom upstairs is a large-scale art piece by local artist, Jessica Wachter.
On the upper level, nine-foot ceilings and French doors open to a spacious master bedroom with a view. Taking design from the lower-level mantel, Hill and the homeowners opted for a solid sheet of oil-rubbed steel wall for the bedroom’s mantel with the reclaimed wood i-beam design over the fireplace. A separate entrance takes them to a gorgeous cedar porch overlooking the peninsula.

Master Bathroom
In the master bath, Hill and the homeowners designed this stacked-stone accent wall to anchor the matching sinks and soaking tub, creating a focal point in the galley-style bathroom. An oversized steam shower, walk-in closet, soaking tub and Brazilian acacia flooring complete the suite. Replacing wall art, vertical windows above the soaking tub let the natural light and treetop view steal the attention.

Lower Level Family Room & Kitchen
On the lower level, Hill helped the homeowners create a designated family room space, with a small kitchen for their two older daughters and a glass door leading to the upstairs. Completing a picture-perfect moment, the family’s Doberman Pinscher hangs out in the lower level’s family room.

Backyard
With water on both sides of the yard, nature’s influence is everywhere. The main level walks out to a cedar-covered porch with stacked, slate stone pillars. A modern rectangle fire table with piped-in natural gas sits just off the porch with unique wood benches.

Lower Level Bathroom
“In this space, it was kind of like working for three clients: the homeowners and each of their older daughters. Each daughter chose her own tile and color scheme,” said Hill. In the first, live edge granite and a hammered nickel sink set a dramatic tone for dark and elegant tile tones, while the second takes a lighter approach with bronze accents, lighter granite and white cabinetry. Both walk-in tile showers use a method Hill refers to as a “ferris wheel” design, mimicking the full-circle fluid motion, designing the tile to flow from ceiling to floor.
