The Floor Plans:

Porch and Foyer

A covered porch welcomes you, sized just right for a pair of rocking chairs or a seasonal display.

Once inside, the foyer feels open and airy, thanks to high ceilings. It’s not just a path to other rooms; you get a clear view into the great room beyond because of the “open to above” design next to the staircase.

There’s also a roomy storage closet near the studio—perfect for coats, shoes, or deliveries you’d rather keep out of sight.

Studio

Just off the foyer, a dedicated studio space offers plenty of flexibility. You might set it up as a home office with shelving for books and inspiration boards, or maybe as an art or music space.

Since it’s at the front of the house, you can enjoy focused work hours away from the main living areas.

Powder Room

Located at the base of the staircase, the powder room is exactly where you need it for guests or a quick stop before heading to the garage. Its placement keeps it discreet but easy to reach.

Great Room

Past the grand archway, you’ll find the great room. This area highlights the home’s character with vaulted ceilings, pale wood floors, and massive windows looking out to the backyard.

Natural light fills the room, making it feel open and inviting. The modern fireplace and built-in shelving add both style and function.

I like how the layout lets you stay connected to the kitchen and dining area without feeling crowded.

Kitchen

At the center of the home sits the kitchen, both literally and in spirit. The island is long enough to seat five, making it a natural gathering spot for family breakfasts or after-school snacks.

Warm wood accents and crisp cabinetry keep the look fresh but timeless. I think the walk-through pantry is a huge plus—it gives you tons of storage right where you need it, plus easy access to the mudroom.

There’s also a dedicated coffee zone that can make mornings feel more organized.

Dining Room

Next to the kitchen, the dining room is surrounded by windows on three sides. You’ll enjoy natural light at every meal, from quick lunches to holiday dinners.

There’s space to seat eight comfortably, and the open layout makes it easy to chat with anyone in the great room.

If you enjoy dinners that turn into long conversations, this setup works really well.

Covered Patio

Opening the doors from the great room takes you to the covered patio. With its double-height ceiling and classic wood-paneled detail, the space feels like an outdoor extension of your living room.

You could host a casual dinner here or just relax with a book and morning coffee.

There’s also an upper lounge area that offers even more options for outdoor living.

Back Porch and Covered Breezeway

The back porch isn’t just a step outside. It connects directly to the mudroom and a covered breezeway, creating a natural link between indoor comfort and outdoor fun.

The breezeway works well for moving between the house and garages while staying protected from the weather.

Mudroom

Just inside from the breezeway, the mudroom is designed for busy lifestyles. You’ll find dedicated lockers, a workbench area, and space to drop off boots or bags.

The mudroom leads right into the kitchen and pantry, so bringing in groceries or coming home after sports practice is a breeze.

Pantry

The walk-in pantry sits between the kitchen and mudroom, with organized shelving and easy access. I appreciate that there’s enough space for both everyday staples and larger appliances you want to keep tucked away.

Double Garages

On the right side, you’ll see two double garages offering plenty of space for cars, bikes, or even a workshop.

With direct access to the mudroom and breezeway, it’s easy to keep everything in order.

You can use one garage for vehicles and the other for outdoor gear, tools, or holiday decorations—there’s a lot of flexibility here.

Hallway and Stairs

As you walk back through the hallway, the staircase leads you to the upper level. The “open to above/below” feature keeps the center of the house bright and airy, letting natural light flow between both floors.

Upstairs Bridge Gallery

At the top of the stairs, the bridge gallery gives you a great view down into the foyer and great room.

This keeps the upper level feeling connected to what’s happening below. The wide hallway off the gallery guides you to the private bedroom zones.

Primary Bedroom

Located at the rear corner, the primary bedroom offers privacy and comfort. Large windows and a vaulted ceiling make the room feel calm and bright.

Dual walk-in closets sit at the entry to the ensuite. I think this space works well as a retreat, with plenty of room for a sitting area or writing desk.

Ensuite

The primary ensuite feels like a spa, featuring a freestanding soaking tub between two big windows, a double vanity, and a roomy walk-in shower.

Details such as marble countertops and brass fixtures add elegance without fuss. I love how the layout makes it easy for two people to get ready without bumping into each other.

Bedrooms 2, 3, and 4

Down the hallway, three secondary bedrooms each have their own charm. Bedroom 2 and Bedroom 3 are similar in size, with nice windows and easy access to a shared bath.

Bedroom 3 stands out with its own ensuite and walk-in shower, which is great for teens or guests.

Bedroom 4 is closer to the primary suite, so it could be a good nursery or a space for a younger child who needs to be nearby.

Shared Bath

The main bath serves Bedrooms 2 and 4, with a long vanity and a separate tub/shower zone. This split setup means morning routines can happen at the same time—no more waiting for the sink.

Laundry (Upstairs)

Having laundry upstairs is a big plus, and this room is right off the bridge gallery. There’s space for side-by-side machines, folding, and even a utility sink, so you don’t have to carry loads to another floor.

Apartment Suite

At the far end of the upper floor, past the main bedrooms, you’ll find a fully self-contained apartment.

The apartment living room is large enough for a sofa, TV, and a small dining table.

Two bedrooms, each with their own closet, a full bath, a walk-in closet, and even a second laundry area make this perfect for in-laws, long-term guests, or a live-in nanny.

I think this is especially practical for multi-generational households or anyone wanting more independence while staying close.

Stairs to Lower Level

At the center of the home, the main staircase takes you down to a whole new set of possibilities. The lower level isn’t just a basement; it’s a real extension of the living space.

Recreation Room

The rec room on the lower level is ready for anything—game nights, movie marathons, ping pong, or just a spot for kids to spread out. With 9-foot ceilings and walk-out doors to the covered area outside, it feels open and connected to the rest of the house.

Bar Area and Community Table

Entertaining is made easy with a dedicated bar area and a long community table. It’s easy to picture parties or casual get-togethers here, with snacks and drinks always nearby.

Guest Bedroom and Bath

When you need a true guest retreat, this lower-level bedroom delivers. Set apart from the main rec spaces, it gives visitors privacy, with its own adjacent bathroom (complete with shower).

You could also use this room as a home office, hobby space, or teen hangout.

Media Room

Near the rec room, a media room is perfect for movie nights or streaming your favorite shows. You won’t have to worry about light or sound leaking in from other parts of the house.

Fitness Room

The fitness room offers enough space for cardio equipment, weights, or yoga mats. With direct access to the outdoors, you can let in fresh air during your workout or cool down on the patio afterward.

Covered Area and Concrete Patio

From the rec room, you can step out to the lower-level covered area, a shady spot that matches the upper patio.

Stairs lead down to the concrete patio, giving you easy movement between all levels of outdoor living.

These patios are perfect for summer barbecues or just finding a quiet place to relax.

Unfinished Space

The lower level also includes a large unfinished space. Whether you need a workshop, storage for seasonal gear, or see potential for another room, this area gives you plenty of options.

Mechanical Room

Set apart from the main living spaces, the mechanical room keeps all the home’s systems quiet and out of sight, so you can enjoy every inch of your living areas.

With its blend of open gathering spaces, private retreats, and practical connections between indoors and out, this home is designed to handle whatever your days bring—work, play, guests, or family time. Each level adds something unique, making the whole property feel complete and ready for you to make it your own.
