What Makes the Selkirk 1696 Stand Out

The Selkirk 1696 is a two-story new construction home with an open-concept main floor, private upstairs bedrooms, and a layout designed to live larger than its square footage suggests. It’s the kind of home that proves you don’t have to compromise – between style and function, between value and quality, between getting into a new home and getting into the right home.

CBH Homes has been building in Idaho for 34 years. With 29,000+ happy homeowners across the Treasure Valley, they’ve learned exactly what Idahoans want – and the Selkirk 1696 reflects that experience.

At a glance:

• 1,696 square feet of finished living space
• Two-story layout with smart separation between living and bedroom areas
• Open-concept main floor designed for how people actually live
• Primary bedroom suite upstairs with space and privacy
• Move-In Ready homes available now at Gander Creek South

Exterior Design: Bold, Modern, and Built Different

One of the first things you’ll notice about the Selkirk 1696 is the curb appeal. This isn’t builder beige. The exterior palette is layered, intentional, and genuinely good-looking – the kind of home that makes you slow down when you drive by.

The Selkirk 1696 exterior features three coordinated finishes:

• Porpoise (RP7047) – A warm, sophisticated greige that anchors the siding with a grounded, modern feel. Porpoise is one of Sherwin-Williams’ most popular neutral tones and pairs beautifully with darker accents.
• Urbane Bronze (RP7048) – A deep, earthy tone used for trim and accent details that adds depth and dimension to the facade. Urbane Bronze was named Sherwin-Williams’ Color of the Year for its rich, versatile appeal.
• Dark Ridge stone accents – A textured stone veneer at the entry that grounds the design and adds a premium, architectural touch right where you want it most.

Together, these three elements create a home that looks elevated and intentional – clean vertical lines, oversized windows, and a covered entry that all come together to make a strong first impression.

This is what Built Different looks like from the street.

Inside the Selkirk 1696: Space Where It Counts

The Selkirk 1696 floor plan is designed to use every square foot well. Two stories means smart vertical separation – main-floor living stays lively and social, while upstairs stays calm and private.

What to expect from this floor plan:

• Open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area on the main floor
• Kitchen positioned to connect naturally with entertaining spaces
• Private upstairs bedrooms away from main living activity
• No wasted hallways or awkward corners – every room earns its place
• Primary bedroom suite with the space to feel like a true retreat

For anyone moving from a rental or smaller home, the Selkirk 1696 feels like a real upgrade. For move-up buyers, it delivers exactly the right amount of home without overextending.
