A Warm Welcome
The inviting L-shaped front porch is one of the first things I believe will catch your eye in this 3-bedroom New American house plan. As you step onto this spacious porch area, it’s clear that this outdoor space is designed for comfort and social gatherings. The front porch leads you into the home through a set of elegant French doors, immediately creating a sense of warmth and openness.
The mixed-material exterior and side-entry garage highlight modern yet timeless aesthetics.
The Floor Plans:
Foyer
Upon entering the home, the foyer is a statement in itself.
With views extending all the way through to the vaulted family room and the lanai beyond, the design is nothing short of breathtaking. The foyer also provides access to the study through another set of French doors.
I love how this space feels both open and connected to the different parts of the home.
Study
The study, located right off the foyer, offers privacy away from the main living spaces.
It’s a quiet nook perfect for working from home or as a reading room. Because it’s readily accessible yet closed off by French doors, you can maintain privacy without feeling isolated.
Family Room
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the vaulted family room, which seamlessly connects to both the kitchen and the lanai. With two sets of French doors opening to the lanai, the indoor-outdoor living blend is impressive. This space is perfect for family gatherings, movie nights, or simply unwinding after a long day.
Lanai
The lanai offers an extended living area outdoors, suitable for barbecues, casual dining, or a morning coffee. Given its direct access from both the family room and master suite, the lanai ties the home’s indoor spaces to the outdoors effortlessly.
Considering customizable outdoor furniture or additional landscaping could only enhance this already versatile space.
Kitchen
Connected to the family room, the kitchen features a large 4′ by 8′ island. This central feature serves both as a cooking hub and a casual dining area. The kitchen’s functional layout is further optimized with a walk-in pantry (6′ by 3′), cleverly concealed behind a sliding barn door. The placement of the pantry, steps away from the garage entry, makes unloading groceries a breeze.
Pantry
This walk-in pantry holds ample storage and is incredibly convenient. Being so close to the garage and kitchen, accessing pantry items while cooking or after a grocery run is super practical.
Garage
The 2-car side-load garage with a large single garage door is thoughtfully designed. If you opt for the 3-car garage, it provides even more space without compromising on any other essential areas. It is worth considering if you have multiple vehicles or need extra storage space.
Master Suite
Direct access to the lanai through French doors enhances the charm of the master suite. The five-fixture bath which comes in two layouts caters to different preferences. In the bathroom, you’ll also find a large walk-in closet, making the master suite a luxurious, self-contained retreat within the home.
Optional Master Bath
The alternative master bath layout allows for even more personalization. Whether you prioritize a larger shower space or a bigger tub, the options mean you can tailor this suite to fit your needs.
Think about whether you’re a bath or a shower person and plan accordingly.
Bedrooms 2 and 3
Situated away from the master suite, Bedrooms 2 and 3 offer good size and share a bathroom, ensuring privacy and quiet for residents. These rooms can easily adapt to be guest rooms, children’s bedrooms, or even hobby rooms.
Bath 2
Conveniently located between Bedrooms 2 and 3, the shared bath is practical and well-suited for family or guest use. Its location ensures easy access while maintaining privacy for those in the bedrooms.
Bonus Room
Ascending the stairs, you reach the bonus room, which adds 421 sq.ft. of versatile expansion space (523 sq. ft.
with the 3-car garage option). This room can be whatever you dream up—a playroom, extra bedroom, media room, or even an art studio. I appreciate this space as it offers endless possibilities for customization.
Unfinished Basement
The basement introduces another dynamic layer to the home with its expansive unfinished space. The basement stairs run under the ones going up, maximizing efficiency.
Whether you’re considering a home gym, additional living areas, or storage, the basement’s potential is phenomenal.
Walkout Basement Option
If you are intrigued by a walkout basement, this layout provides separate external access, increasing the indoor-outdoor connection. This option could be ideal for creating a guest suite, rental unit, or an independent space for older children or relatives.
Improvement Pointers
- Flexibility in Spaces: Consider how adaptable rooms like the study, bonus room, and basement could fit your evolving needs. Could a future family scenario call for a different room usage? Plan now for flexibility.
Master Bath Options: Which layout best suits your routines? Is it the bathtub or the shower that commands more daily use?
Overall, I find this floor plan offers a harmonious blend of beauty, functionality, and adaptability.
