The Floor Plans:
Front Porch
As you approach the front of the house, the 8′-deep front porch immediately catches my eye. It’s flanked by charming gables and centered with a classic gabled dormer, which frames the French doors perfectly. This inviting space sets the tone for the entire home, offering a welcoming aesthetic right from the start.
Foyer
Entering through the French doors, you step into the foyer. It’s a space that instantly introduces you to the openness of the house design.
From here, you can see the vaulted ceilings of the great room, offering a grand sense of space.
Great Room
Move directly into the great room, and you’ll notice it’s well-appointed with a fireplace to your left, flanked by built-ins on either side. This room is flooded with natural light, thanks to the 16′ slider doors that lead out to the back porch. The high ceilings elevate the room, making it the perfect space for both entertaining and cozy family nights.
Kitchen
Just past the great room, we enter the gourmet kitchen. It’s a dream space—featuring a large prep island with seating for five, fostering a communal atmosphere.
The walk-in pantry provides ample storage, keeping your countertops clutter-free. For me, the kitchen’s proximity to both the formal dining room and the grilling porch makes it exceptionally practical for food preparation and entertaining.
Dining Room
Adjacent to the kitchen, the formal dining room stands ready for family dinners and hosting guests.
The placement ensures it’s close enough for convenience but distinct enough to offer a separate, dedicated dining experience. I love how the layout accommodates different dining scenarios, from casual breakfasts to holiday feasts.
Back Porch
Let’s step through those slider doors to the back porch—a serene space with its outdoor kitchen and fireplace. It’s tailor-made for hosting summer BBQs or quiet evenings. This area connects seamlessly back to the kitchen, ensuring that both indoor and outdoor entertaining is a breeze.
Master Bedroom
Situated on the right side of the home, the master bedroom is a sanctuary of comfort. The vaulted ceilings add a sense of spaciousness, while the well-designed master bath offers both a separate tub and shower. One of my favorite features is the large walk-in closet, which offers direct access to the laundry room, making laundry day far less of a chore.
Laundry Room
Conveniently located, the laundry room connects both to the master walk-in and the main hallway.
I think this thoughtful placement truly enhances the home’s functionality—it’s little touches like this that simplify everyday tasks.
Secondary Bedrooms & Jack and Jill Bath
The three secondary bedrooms are thoughtfully placed on the opposite side of the home. Bedrooms 3 and 4 share a Jack and Jill bath, optimizing the space and making morning routines more manageable. I personally adore this layout for children or guests—it really keeps things organized and private.
Bed 2
Bedroom 2, while working perfectly as a conventional bedroom, also serves as a potential home office.
This adaptability will likely resonate with you if working from home or having a dedicated creative space is a priority.
Mudroom and 3-Car Garage
Let’s not overlook the mudroom leading to the 3-car garage. Featuring a storage closet and backyard access, it’s a practical solution for outdoor activities and keeps the main living space clean. For me, this functional transition area adds significant value and convenience.
Bonus Room with Bath and Kitchenette
Above the garage, the 705 square foot bonus room with a full bath and kitchenette is an incredible feature.
Imagine the possibilities—a guest suite, a home office, or even a recreational room! This additional space provides so much versatility, making it suitable for various needs over the years.
Questions & Enhancements
While the layout is impressive, I wonder if a few minor tweaks could enhance its functionality further. For example, would you benefit from an expanded mudroom with built-in cubbies for each family member?
Or perhaps a dedicated study nook for kids, integrated into one of the common areas?
These changes could add even more practicality for a growing family.
Final Thoughts
I have to say, living in this meticulously designed home would be a daily joy.
The thoughtful layout, coupled with practical and luxurious touches, makes it beautiful and incredibly livable.
From the inviting front porch and pro-style kitchen to the serene master suite and versatile bonus room, this plan covers all bases.
