Exterior View

Stepping up to this stately European-inspired home, you can’t help but picture lazy afternoons on the sprawling front lawn or conversations that drift late into the evening on the wide covered porch.

With its steep gables and a generous double-door entry welcoming you inside, the house feels both impressive and approachable, offering over 4,000 square feet stretched across two levels thoughtfully laid out for comfort and style.

As you explore, every detail and room feels designed for relaxed living, entertaining, and quiet retreats.

Covered Porch & Gallery Entry

The covered porch sets the tone—a spot ready for morning coffee or greeting friends as they arrive.

Once you step through the double doors, you’re greeted by the gallery entry.

The space is wide and welcoming, with enough room to appreciate the symmetry and light pouring in from the front windows.

I think this entry works well if you want to make a strong first impression without feeling too formal.

The gallery also creates a nice flow, immediately branching off to both the formal and informal living spaces, so you never feel boxed in.

Dining Room

Just off the entry to your right, the dining room sits ready for family gatherings or more formal occasions.

Its placement keeps it a little separate but still easily accessible—ideal if you’re hosting, since guests can move naturally between here and the entry.

There’s room for a large table, and with tall windows along the front, this space always feels bright during the day.

Flex Room

Across from the dining room, the flex room gives you options. Maybe you’ll use it as a music room, a playroom, or even a quiet home office if you don’t need the main study.

The location up front keeps it a bit private, and I like that you can adapt it as your needs change.

Its close proximity to the entry means it’s perfect for something you want easily accessible, but not the main focus.

Living Room

As you move further into the home, you find the living room. Soaring ceilings here add a sense of drama, especially with the cathedral-style height, and you’ll notice how the space draws in natural light from the back.

Double doors connect directly to the covered patio, making it easy to blend indoor and outdoor living.

I noticed how this room is perfectly positioned to act as a central hub, with clear sightlines to the kitchen and family spaces beyond.

Study

Off the living room, the study offers a quiet retreat with views to the side yard.

Built-in bookcases along one wall give you space for collections, and there’s a feeling of coziness that makes it an inviting place for reading, working from home, or tackling paperwork without distraction.

The proximity to the main suite keeps it convenient if you want a private office close to your bedroom.

Master Bedroom

The master suite is in its own wing, giving you plenty of privacy. When you walk in, the room feels spacious enough for a sitting area, and windows along two walls keep it filled with light.

It opens directly onto a small covered patio, which I think is a special touch—imagine slipping outside with a book or a cup of coffee before the rest of the house wakes up.

The layout flows easily into the master bath and closet, keeping everything connected but uncluttered.

Master Bath

The master bath delivers both luxury and function: a soaking tub set under a window, his-and-hers vanities, a separate shower, and direct access to dual walk-in closets.

Privacy is built in, but there’s still a sense of openness thanks to the well-planned layout and natural light.

If spa-like mornings matter to you, this space will make them effortless.

Storage & Hallway Spaces

Right outside the master suite, you’ll find a hallway that connects to both the study and the living room.

There’s also a handy storage area beneath the stairs—perfect for seasonal bins or rarely used items.

These subtle storage touches make day-to-day living easier, and I think the designer did a good job making them accessible but not intrusive.

Nook

Next to the living room, the nook feels perfect for casual meals or breakfast with the family.

With large windows wrapping the space, it’s always bright in the mornings. The nook flows easily into the family room and kitchen, so you can keep conversations going while everyone gathers around the table.

Kitchen

If you love to cook or entertain, the kitchen is set up to make life easier.

An island sits in the center, providing extra seating and workspace.

I appreciate how the bar ledge defines the kitchen from the family room without shutting off the space.

There’s plenty of storage, including a pantry, and the layout keeps everything within easy reach.

The kitchen opens up to both the nook and the larger family room, so you never feel separated from the action.

Family Room

The family room takes advantage of the home’s wide footprint, stretching out with plenty of space for seating and gathering.

Large windows and a door lead directly to the covered patio, making it simple to host cookouts or let kids run in and out.

There’s a dedicated entertainment center along one wall, which is great for movie nights or big game days.

If you like rooms that can handle both quiet evenings and larger groups, this one delivers.

Covered Patio

Step out from the family room, and you’ll find yourself on a spacious covered patio.

This space feels like an extension of the main living areas, perfect for grilling, outdoor dining, or lounging in the shade.

With easy access back to the kitchen and main rooms, hosting outdoor parties is a breeze, and the covered aspect means you’re comfortable rain or shine.

Shop Area & Storage

Off to the side of the family room, a small hallway leads to a shop area and storage room.

Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or just need a place for bikes and gear, this setup keeps messes contained and out of sight.

There’s also an extra storage closet here—something I find makes a real difference in a busy household.

3-Car Garage

Directly connected to the shop area and a short hallway from the kitchen, the three-car garage offers plenty of space for vehicles, tools, and additional storage.

If you have multiple drivers or just need extra room for holiday decorations and sports equipment, you’ll appreciate the size and easy access.

Powder Room

Before heading upstairs, you’ll notice a powder room conveniently near the main living spaces. It’s close to both the kitchen and the family room, making it ideal for guests, so you don’t have to worry about privacy or clutter in your main bathrooms.

Exterior View
Architectural Designs – Plan 48003FM

Laundry

There’s a dedicated laundry space just around the corner from the family room, close to the garage entry.

I like that it’s positioned out of the main sight lines, but not so far away that hauling baskets across the house becomes a chore.

Stairs & Upstairs Landing

Heading upstairs, you arrive at a balcony that overlooks the living room below. This open space connects the different bedrooms and creates a sense of connection between the two floors.

I think this feature keeps the home feeling open, even with so much square footage.

Bedroom 2

Bedroom 2 is roomy, with its own sitting area overlooking the front yard. The large windows make it feel bright and inviting, and the closet is big enough for more than just clothes.

This setup works well for older kids or guests who want a bit of extra breathing room.

Bedroom 3

Across the hall, Bedroom 3 also includes a sitting area with great views to the side yard.

It’s about the same size as Bedroom 2, and the two share easy access to a full bathroom along the hallway.

I think kids or guests would love having a comfortable, private spot to read or unwind.

Media Area

At the end of the upstairs hall, the media area is set up for movie nights, gaming, or a cozy lounge.

Built-in bookshelves line the walls, so you’ve got storage for games, movies, or a growing collection of books.

The space is flexible enough to adapt as your family’s needs change.

Balcony

The balcony isn’t just for show; it acts as a connector for all the upstairs rooms.

Looking down over the living room adds a dramatic touch, and the natural light here makes the space feel bigger and more open.

I love how this spot could work as a reading nook or a place to display a few favorite plants.

Optional Bedroom/Hobby Room

If you need even more flexibility, there’s an optional bedroom or hobby room above the garage.

While not included in the main square footage, it’s perfect for guests, a studio, or even a teenage hideaway.

Having a full bath attached only adds to its appeal.

Upstairs Bathroom & Storage

Upstairs, the bathroom is shared by Bedrooms 2 and 3, set up with convenience in mind.

There’s also a linen closet in the hallway, making it easy to keep towels and supplies close at hand.

Open to Below

Finally, the “open to below” space above the living room draws light and a sense of connection between the upper and lower floors.

This architectural detail keeps the entire home feeling unified and airy.

With so much flexibility, light, and room to spread out, this home encourages you to imagine weekends with friends, quiet moments in a favorite nook, and years of comfortable, memory-filled living across every level.
