The Floor Plans:
Foyer
Entering the foyer, you’re met with a sense of openness and connectivity.
It sets the stage for the entire layout of the home, seamlessly blending into other spaces. You can almost picture a warm welcome with room for a bench or coat rack, creating a beautiful transition from the outside world into your homely haven.
Library
To your immediate left is the library, measuring 13’4″ by 11’8″. This room can be your private retreat, perfect for a book-lined sanctuary or a cozy home office.
I love how it sits right at the entrance, offering a quiet place to escape without needing to venture far from the main areas.
Dining Room
Moving forward, the dining room is directly linked to the family room.
It spans 16’0″ by 12’8″, offering enough space for family dinners or intimate gatherings. Picture wall-to-wall holiday decorations or casual brunch setups – it’s versatile for any occasion.
The lack of dividing walls makes it feel even bigger, connecting seamlessly with the living spaces.
Family Room
At the heart of the main level is the family room, impressive in size at 16’6″ by 18’0″.
It’s a perfect spot for relaxation or entertainment, with room for sizable seating arrangements and a central fireplace. Imagine evenings with family, enjoying a movie or simply lounging around together.
These connected spaces prioritize sociability yet offer distinct zones for diverse activities.
Kitchen
Adjacent is the kitchen, undoubtedly a standout feature with its giant, furniture-style island extending 12’8″ by 14’0″.
It’s every aspiring chef’s dream, offering ample preparation space and serving as a hub for casual meals or gatherings. The kitchen’s open sightlines to living areas foster connectivity, making it easy to be part of conversations while preparing meals.
One might wonder if additional cabinets or a pantry could enhance storage options further. But isn’t that island’s utility just wonderful?
Breakfast Nook
Just off the kitchen lies the breakfast nook at 11’6″ by 9’6″, a cozy corner for casual dining or morning coffee. This area provides a more intimate setting, perfect for everyday meals while basking in morning light. It gives a homely charm, making it a delightful spot to start your day.
Keeping Room
Beside the breakfast nook, you’ll find the keeping room, a flexible area measuring 15’4″ by 10’0″.
This space can adapt as a family lounge, a playroom, or even a crafting area. I appreciate its adaptability, offering possibilities tailored to personal needs or lifestyle shifts.
Flexibility like this is invaluable in a modern home.
Suite
As we move toward the garage, we encounter a suite, sized 15’0″ by 15’8″, complete with a private bath. It’s perfect for guests or as an in-law space, offering privacy without seclusion.
Having a suite on the main floor adds convenience and options for multigenerational living, which is increasingly sought after.
Garage
The garage, at 21’4″ by 19’5″, not only serves its primary function but also holds potential for workshop space or additional storage.
It connects directly to the house, ensuring practicality and ease.
Screen Porch
Continuing through the keeping room, you access the screen porch, a 16’0″ by 12’0″ oasis ideal for enjoying the outdoors without contending with the elements.
Whether it’s a light-drenched reading space or an arboretum of potted plants, this porch can evolve through the seasons. Enclosing it further could even make it a year-round retreat.
Master Bedroom
Moving upstairs, the master bedroom is your personal sanctuary, sprawling 22’8″ by 14’8″.
Vaulted ceilings add grandeur, while ample space invites luxury.
Envision a tranquil escape here, complete with extravagant furnishings or minimalistic design for serenity.
Bedrooms
Two additional bedrooms, measuring 12’4″ by 15’11” and 12’0″ by 15’11”, offer ample space for family or guests.
Each room is large enough for various layouts, from plush furnishings to study desks—an ideal canvas for personal expression.
Bonus Room/Bedroom
The bonus room/bedroom, at a generous 18’8″ by 20’11”, plays the wildcard role in this layout. It could become a game room, an expansive office, or a guest suite. The versatility here is a huge selling point, allowing you to adapt as life changes.
The use of this space could certainly incite lively discussion about possibilities.
Master Bath
Adjacent to the master bedroom is the luxurious master bath, spacious and inviting. Perfect for unwinding at the end of a long day—or starting one afresh—the question arises of how this space could be further customized.
Would a freestanding tub allure you, or is a multi-head shower more appealing?
This floor plan is both timeless and adaptable, offering designs that inspire and spaces to grow into. I hope this walkthrough gave you a sense of its potential, and sparked ideas for your dream home.
