Exterior View

Step up to this sprawling contemporary home, where modern mountain lodge vibes blend with laid-back hill country style.

Light stone and warm wood set the tone outside, and inside, each room feels fresh and intentional.

With 4,944 square feet and spaces designed for both lively gatherings and quiet escapes, the home manages to be both inviting and impressive.

I’m excited to show you how this thoughtful layout works as we move from room to room.

Specifications:

  • 4,944 Heated S.F.
  • 4 Beds
  • 4.5+ Baths
  • 1 Stories
  • 4 Cars

The Floor Plans:

Front Porch

The wide front porch is the first area you’ll experience, immediately setting a welcoming mood.

The symmetry of the entrance and the mix of light stone and vertical wood siding create a relaxed, approachable feel.

The generous walkway makes it easy for guests to gather or for you to pause and enjoy the view.

Even before opening the door, there’s a sense of calm and openness.

Grand Entry Hall

As you enter the grand entry hall, you’re greeted by tall ceilings and a straight sight line all the way to the windows at the back.

The space feels balanced—not too formal, not too casual. On either side of the entry, you can see the great room and, off to the right, a peek into more private areas.

I like how the designer lets the entry serve as a true crossroads for the home.

Arriving here always feels special, not just like passing through.

Great Room

The great room is a real showstopper. Its vaulted ceiling and massive windows allow natural light to pour in, highlighting the home’s connection to the scenic backdrop.

A two-sided fireplace anchors the space and is perfect for cool evenings. This room flows naturally into the outdoor living area, making entertaining inside and out a breeze.

The space feels open and airy, yet still cozy enough for everyday lounging. I love how this room strikes that balance.

Dining

Located just off the great room, the dining area is easily accessible from both the kitchen and outdoor spaces.

This location lets you host formal dinners or casual brunches without feeling isolated from the rest of the action.

Tall ceilings keep things feeling spacious, even with a large table. The area isn’t overly formal; instead, it invites relaxed gatherings that still feel a little refined.

I think this is a great use of space for anyone who loves to host.

Outdoor Living

Moving through the sliding doors brings you to an outdoor living room that rivals the indoor spaces.

Covered and spacious, this area is set up for year-round enjoyment, with room for both lounging and dining.

The view is one you’ll want to share with friends. Since the space connects back to the great room, you can keep up with the conversation even as people drift outside.

I can easily picture long summer evenings spent here.

Outdoor Dining & Kitchen

Next to the outdoor living area, you’ll find the dedicated outdoor dining and kitchen. This spot is made for Texas-style cookouts or just grilling on a weeknight.

There’s plenty of counter space for prep, which isn’t something you see in every outdoor kitchen, and the layout makes serving food simple.

Even if you’re not a grill enthusiast, it’s a spot that draws people in, for meals or just to hang out while someone else cooks.

Kitchen

Back inside, the kitchen is at the heart of the home, connecting directly to both the dining area and the outdoor dining zone.

There’s a large island for meal prep, casual eating, or homework sessions, and the walk-in pantry nearby keeps everything within reach.

The kitchen feels modern but still warm, thanks to thoughtful finishes and lighting. I think the placement is excellent.

The cook stays in the middle of the action, while any mess stays out of view from the main living areas.

Pantry

The pantry is positioned just off the kitchen and offers more space than you might expect.

There’s enough room for bulk groceries, small appliances, and all those extra gadgets you want to keep handy.

Having a dedicated pantry like this keeps the kitchen clutter-free, which I find makes cooking more enjoyable.

Its location means you can grab what you need without interrupting the kitchen workflow—a small but important detail.

Bar

Between the kitchen and great room, there’s a bar area that’s ideal for entertaining. It’s set up for easy serving, whether you’re making coffee in the morning or mixing drinks in the evening.

The bar is part of the main action but still a little off the beaten path, so it doesn’t get crowded when you have guests.

I appreciate that it feels like a true feature, not just an add-on.

Office

On the quiet side of the house, the office offers a focused retreat for work or study.

With vaulted ceilings and a bit of separation from the main living areas, it’s easy to avoid distractions.

Natural light makes it a pleasant spot to spend time. For anyone who works from home or needs a place for projects, this is a huge benefit.

The office is also close to the bar and family foyer, so grabbing a coffee during a brainstorming session is convenient.

Utility

Down the hall, you’ll find the utility room. This space is more than just for laundry.

It’s designed for all of life’s messes, with built-in storage and room to sort, fold, and organize supplies.

You can access it directly from both the garage and the family entrance, making it easy to drop muddy boots or school gear before entering the main house.

I find that having a room like this quietly keeps everything running smoothly day to day.

Family Foyer

Entering through the garage brings you into the family foyer, your practical landing zone every day.

Benches and hooks make it easy to keep jackets, backpacks, and bags organized, so clutter doesn’t take over your living spaces.

Acting as a mudroom for the whole wing, it connects to both the utility and broom closets, making it practical without feeling industrial.

For busy families, this kind of layout is a lifesaver.

Brooms

Just next to the family foyer are the broom closets. These keep cleaning supplies neatly stored but always within reach.

Having two separate broom closets means you can organize tools or pet gear without any hassle.

It’s a simple feature that ends up being surprisingly useful.

2-Car Garages

This home includes two separate 2-car garages, one on each wing. Both have direct access to the main house, making it convenient if you have multiple drivers or need extra storage.

The garage entrances are set away from the main living zones, so you won’t be bothered by noise while relaxing.

I like that this setup avoids the “garage first” impression some modern homes give.

Primary Suite

On the left side of the home, the primary suite is focused on privacy and comfort.

The bedroom has space for a king bed and a seating area, and the vaulted ceiling gives it an even more open feel.

The ensuite bath features a soaking tub, a separate shower, and double vanities. There’s a sense of luxury here, but it’s understated.

The walk-in closet is generous and is placed around the corner for real separation from the bedroom.

Primary Bath

Within the primary suite, the bath is designed for relaxation. You’ll find a deep tub under a window, a large glass shower, and plenty of counter space.

The layout keeps everything accessible without making the room feel crowded. A linen closet nearby means towels and extras are always close at hand.

I think separating the bath from the closet gives the suite an almost spa-like feel.

Closet (Primary Suite)

Entering the walk-in closet, you’ll see there’s room for shoes, clothes, and extra storage, with plenty of space to spare.

If you love keeping things organized, this is a dream setup. The closet feels private but is still easy to access, so you can get ready in the morning without waking anyone else.

Bedroom 4

Also on the left wing, Bedroom 4 is located near the front of the house.

It’s close to a full bath and the front entry, making it a flexible space.

You can use it for guests, in-laws, or even as a second office or hobby room.

The window brings in lots of daylight, so it feels bright and welcoming no matter how you use it.

Bath (Bedroom 4)

The bath next to Bedroom 4 is fully equipped with a shower and vanity. It’s easy for guests to access without intruding on private areas of the home.

Linen (Primary Wing)

A linen closet is located in the hallway near Bedroom 4 and the primary suite. This makes it simple to store extra bedding and towels, keeping your routine efficient.

Game Room

On the opposite wing, you’ll find the game room at the far end. It’s the kind of area that invites fun—think movie nights, ping pong tournaments, or a place for kids to hang out with friends.

The vaulted ceiling and large windows keep it bright and open. Sliding doors here allow easy access to the outdoor living and dining spaces, so you can take the party outside whenever you like.

Bedroom 2

Bedroom 2 is right next to the game room. With its own bath and walk-in closet, it works well for teens, guests, or even as a hobby space.

The room is set apart from the primary suite, which provides privacy for everyone. Large windows and a thoughtful layout make it as inviting as all the other bedrooms.

Exterior View

Bath (Bedroom 2)

The en suite bath for Bedroom 2 includes a shower, vanity, and direct access to both the bedroom and game room. It’s designed for convenience and matches the home’s upscale yet comfortable style.

Exterior View

Closet (Bedroom 2)

A walk-in closet attached to Bedroom 2 gives you plenty of space for storage and organization. For anyone who likes a bit of independence, this setup works really well.

Bedroom 3

Next to Bedroom 2, Bedroom 3 is similar in size and function. It also has a private bath and a walk-in closet.

The two bedrooms are symmetrical, making them ideal for siblings, long-term guests, or a nanny.

Plenty of natural light and easy access to the rest of the home make it a flexible space.

Exterior View
Architectural Designs – Plan 818183JSS

Bath (Bedroom 3)

The bath for Bedroom 3 is just steps away and fully private. All the essentials are included, and it’s positioned out of sight from the main living areas.

I think this is a thoughtful detail.

Closet (Bedroom 3)

Here again, a walk-in closet gives Bedroom 3 excellent storage. It helps each bedroom feel like its own mini suite.

Architectural Designs – Plan 818183JSS

Linen (Bedroom 2/3 Wing)

Between Bedrooms 2 and 3, you’ll find another linen closet. This keeps towels and bedding close by, making daily routines more convenient.

Small features like this show real attention to the way you’ll actually live in the home.

Each space in this home is connected but still offers its own sense of privacy.

Whether you’re hosting a crowd or just enjoying a quiet evening, the design supports both busy routines and moments of relaxation.

I can see so many possibilities for how you might make this home your own.
