The Clarkston

Some homes spread out; the Clarkston goes up. Arranged across three floors, this three-bedroom semi-detached house from Miller Homes gives each level a job of its own, which is a quietly effective way to stop family life piling into one room. Living space sits at ground level and the bedrooms are spread across the floors above. That vertical split matters more than it sounds. Whoever is up late is not keeping someone else awake, and a working parent can take a call upstairs without the rest of the house holding its breath. It suits households that value separation as much as space: people who work odd hours, couples who both work from home, or anyone who likes going upstairs at the end of the day and properly leaving the downstairs behind. Every floor gets its own kind of quiet.
