The Floor Plans:
Foyer
As you step through the front door, you find yourself in the foyer, an entryway that sets the tone for the rest of the house. With ample space, you can easily imagine an elegant console table paired with a statement mirror to greet guests.
Home Office
French doors to your left open into your home office. This space is ideal for those working from home, providing a quiet, enclosed area. The double doors not only add a layer of sophistication but afford privacy, essential for focused tasks or virtual meetings.
Great Room
Straight ahead from the foyer, you enter the great room, characterized by its coffered ceiling and inviting fireplace. The sliding doors that lead to the rear porch usher in natural light, making this room the heart of social gatherings. The openness and connectivity to the kitchen allow you to interact with family or guests as you prepare meals.
Kitchen
The kitchen is roomy and configured for convenience. The island, which seats four, becomes a natural hub for casual hangouts or quick meals. Imagine the island as a versatile space—prep area by day, dining spot by night. The walk-in pantry is a practical feature, offering generous storage and keeping the kitchen clutter-free.
Dining Room
Steps away from the kitchen, the dining room offers views to the back. This arrangement not only makes serving meals convenient but also provides a charming setting for family dinners. The visual connection to the backyard enhances the dining experience.
Rear Porch and Outdoor Living
Entertaining becomes even more delightful with the expansive covered outdoor living area. Featuring a gas grill and fireplace, this 592-square-foot space is perfect for year-round enjoyment. The rear porch, an additional 545 square feet, connects seamlessly to this area, providing ample room for lounging, dining, or hosting gatherings. Don’t overlook the pool bath accessible from outside—a thoughtful touch for adding convenience.
Master Bedroom
The master bedroom occupies the entire left wing of the house. The 11-foot coffered ceiling adds a sense of grandeur. You will appreciate the attention to luxurious details in the master bathroom—with a barrel ceiling, spa bath, and a spacious two-person shower. And let’s not forget the two-person walk-in closet, offering all the storage space you could need.
Secondary Bedrooms
Bedrooms 3 and 4, located on the opposite side of the house, share a Jack and Jill bathroom. This arrangement is perfect for families, providing privacy while maintaining convenience. Each bedroom is equipped with walk-in closets, ensuring ample storage space for everyone.
Bedroom 2 / Optional Configurations
Bedroom 2 features an en-suite bathroom, making it ideal for guests or an older child. If you seek additional functionality, you have the option to eliminate this bathroom in exchange for a built-in desk and expanded pantry that doubles as a safe room or storm shelter, complete with an adjacent wet bar.
Mudroom and Laundry
Adjacent to the three-car garage is a practical mudroom. This space offers a seamless transition from the outdoors, ideal for storing coats, shoes, and bags. The laundry room nearby adds to the functional layout, particularly with its proximity to the stairs leading to the bonus room.
Bonus Room
The bonus room above is a versatile space that can adapt to various needs—be it a game room, home theater, or guest suite. With the right furnishing, this room can evolve as your needs change, making it a truly multipurpose space.
Enhancements and Considerations
To further enhance functionality, consider adding built-in shelving in the home office or creating a small reading nook in one of the secondary bedrooms. How about converting part of the bonus room into an art studio or fitness area? Each modification can personalize the home to better suit your lifestyle.
Is there a spot to place a small garden or green space in the backyard? Imagine how a lush garden installation could enrich the aesthetics and provide a therapeutic hobby. I wonder, would integrating smart home technologies make this already efficient layout even more convenient? Areas like the kitchen, master bathroom, and even the outdoor living space could benefit from such advancements.
