Porte-Cochere, Porch, and Grand Foyer

Arriving under the porte-cochere, you’re sheltered from the elements as you step up to the expansive front porch.

The symmetrical façade and tall columns offer a true sense of arrival.

Inside, the vestibule opens into a double-height grand foyer, flooded with light and offering views straight through to the back of the house.

A sweeping staircase curves upward, while storage closets on either side and a clear path to the main living areas create a welcoming and organized entry.

Study

Just off the foyer, the study sits behind double doors. Floor-to-ceiling windows face the front, filling the room with daylight.

This space feels both private and connected. It’s a great spot for work-from-home days or a quiet reading retreat.

There’s plenty of room for built-in bookshelves and a pair of cozy armchairs, so you can use it for productivity or relaxation.

Dining Room

Across from the study, the formal dining room is set up for both big gatherings and intimate dinners.

I like how it’s tucked away but still close to the kitchen, thanks to a butlery and pantry corridor.

Entertaining here feels seamless, with plenty of storage for serving pieces and essentials. The tall ceiling adds drama without taking away from the room’s warmth.

Living Room

The living room sits just beyond the foyer, centered for easy access to all the main floor’s social zones.

The layout allows for a generous seating area and plenty of natural light from nearby windows.

Its location near both the patio and the master suite means it can work as a formal lounge or a quiet spot for evening chats.

Powder Room

Conveniently located off the main hallway, the powder room serves guests without disrupting daily life.

Its location keeps it accessible but out of direct view from living areas. I think this is a smart detail.

Master Suite

Turning right from the living spaces, you’ll find the master suite wing. This area focuses on privacy and luxury.

The bedroom itself is roomy, with a dedicated sitting nook for unwinding away from the main action.

A private door leads to the patio—perfect for morning coffee or peaceful evenings outdoors.

Master Bath and Closets

Step into the master bath and you’ll see separate “His” and “Hers” zones, each with their own vanity and wardrobe space.

The layout features a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and a separate cedar closet for delicate items.

The bath connects directly to an exercise room, so you can stick to a daily routine without leaving your suite.

I like how this layout balances personal space with convenient access to everything you need.

Exercise Room

The exercise room at the back of the master suite is large enough for a home gym setup.

Big windows keep things bright, and being close to the master bath makes it easy to move from workout to relaxation.

I think this is a great touch for anyone who loves fitness.

Family Room

If you head back through the central living areas, you’ll find the spacious family room.

This is where everyday life naturally unfolds.

The room’s large footprint easily fits a sectional sofa and entertainment center, while a fireplace anchors the space.

I love the direct flow into the kitchen and breakfast area.

It’s easy to picture movie nights or lazy Sunday mornings here.

Kitchen

The kitchen is designed for easy gathering and function. At the center is a large island, perfect for meal prep or casual snacks.

There are double ovens, a walk-in pantry, and the butlery connects right to the formal dining room.

The kitchen faces the family room, so it’s easy to chat while cooking.

I think this setup works really well for busy families.

Next to the kitchen, the breakfast area looks out onto the patio. Mornings here are bright and cheerful, with space for a big table. I like how this spot connects the kitchen with the outdoors, making daily meals feel relaxed and sunny.

Utility Room

The utility room is near Bedroom 2 and close to the garage entrance. It’s a convenient spot for dropping off muddy shoes or handling laundry away from the main living spaces.

A built-in seat helps keep things organized as you come and go.

Patio (Dining/Study Side)

There’s a sheltered patio between the portico and main living zones. It’s more private than the breakfast patio, making it a nice spot for quiet outdoor moments or greeting visitors before they come inside.

Loggia and Balcony

At the top of the stairs, you reach an open loggia that looks down onto the foyer below.

This area feels airy and open.

The circular stair design and open cutouts let light pour through both levels. Ahead, a set of doors leads you onto a balcony with a view over the backyard and patios.

Bonus Room

At the far end of the upstairs, a spacious bonus room stretches along one side.

You could use it for a playroom, home theater, or studio. I like that it’s set apart from the rest of the upstairs, so you can keep noisy activities contained.

Near the center of the upper level, Bedroom 3 is roomy and filled with natural light.

There’s a private bath just outside the door (B3), making it ideal for teens or older kids who want some independence.

The big windows make this room feel fresh and inviting.

It shares a bathroom (B4) with Bedroom 5, which works well for siblings or guests.

Both rooms have windows facing the side yard, adding privacy.

Bathrooms (Upper Level)

There are two bathrooms on the upper level (B3 and B4), so everyone has easy access whether they’re in a bedroom or a common space.

I appreciate how each bath is placed for convenience and privacy.

As you head back down the staircase, it’s clear that every detail in this home helps create a comfortable, inviting place for gatherings and quiet moments alike.

The way the formal and casual spaces connect, along with the private retreats and lively common areas, comes together to make a home that’s ready for whatever your day brings.
