A history with Serenbe led Scott and Morgan Lindsey to move their family there. The Lindseys wed at the serene community south of Atlanta. Years later, while their kids attended a summer camp there, they started looking at homesites in its Mado hamlet.
“We’ve been in love with the place for a long time and we’d always thought maybe we’d get to live here some day, and then it just worked out,” said Morgan Lindsey.
Their Cape Dutch home features a white stucco exterior and parapet walls mixed with Scandinavian features, such as horizontal cedar siding, that tie into the village’s architecture. Natural wood is a key element, along with personal touches, such as handcrafted tiles made by Morgan.
“They truly make the house ours,” she said.

Old oak beams cut with a chainsaw are used as the range hood in the Serenbe kitchen. The stone backsplash and countertops are honed Carrera marble from Effective Granite and the stove is Thermador.
Scott and Morgan Lindsey, with their children, Beckett, 8, and Vivienne, 6, moved into their custom Dutch Cape home in 2018. Morgan, a designer, said she was diagnosed with breast cancer when they were designing the 4,300-square-foot home in Serenbe. The timing influenced many of her decisions, she said, about what the home would mean for her family’s lifelong wellness, including physically, socially and with a connection to nature.
The Lindseys wanted a sitting area that didn’t have a TV, so they designed a cozy fireplace area.
