The Floor Plans:
First Floor
Front Porch
First impressions matter, and the covered front porch of this house is welcoming and timeless.
Imagine walking up to your door, shielded by bracketed awnings and surrounded by multi-paned windows. It’s a perfect spot for a couple of rocking chairs.
Foyer
Stepping into the foyer, you’re immediately greeted by the circular stair leading to the upper level.
It’s grand and establishes a sense of verticality right away. You’ll love the immediate view straight through the house to the back lanai, creating an open and connected feel.
Dining Room
To your left, the formal dining room boasts a tray ceiling adding an elegant touch.
A butler’s pantry connects this room to the kitchen, making it immensely practical for entertaining guests. You can conveniently store extra dishes or even use it as a mini-bar when hosting dinner parties.
Family Room
Moving forward, you enter the vaulted family room.
This space is truly the heart of the home. Its lofty ceilings and open plan make it a superb spot for both casual and formal gatherings.
The connectivity to the kitchen and breakfast nook means you’ll never feel isolated while preparing meals.
Kitchen and Nook
The kitchen layout is excellent, with its bar top that makes it easy to keep conversations going. The breakfast nook, bathed in natural light, provides a lovely space for informal meals or morning coffee.
Both these spaces have a seamless view and access to the lanai, perfect for indoor-outdoor living.
Lanai
The spacious lanai extends your living area outdoors. I think this will become your go-to spot for summer barbecues or relaxing in the evenings. You could even turn a section into an outdoor living room, given its ample space.
Master Suite
The master suite on the main floor is nothing short of luxurious. It’s vaulted, giving it an airy feel, and includes a generous walk-in closet. Proximity to the garage ensures convenience, and the room’s isolation from other bedrooms guarantees privacy.
Study
Adjacent to the master, the study also features a vaulted ceiling and French doors leading out to the lanai.
This space is flexible: you could use it as a home office, a library, or even convert it into a small gym. I appreciate the idea of being able to work while enjoying views of the outdoors.
Garage and Stairs to Bonus Room
A staircase near the garage takes you upstairs to an optional bonus room. With over 605 square feet, this room is a canvas for your imagination. It could be a guest suite, a playroom, or a hobby area.
What I love most is the freedom to adapt it to whatever you need at the moment.
Powder Room and Laundry
A conveniently placed powder room and a large laundry area complete this floor, ensuring all functional needs are met without disrupting the living spaces.
Upper Landing
At the top of the circular stairs, the landing breaks into different zones. You can overlook the foyer from here, which maintains a visual connection between levels.
Bedrooms 2 and 3
Two additional bedrooms share this floor. Each has ample closet space and proximity to a shared bathroom.
This layout works wonderfully for children or guests, offering them both privacy and comfort.
Optional Bonus Room
The optional bonus room above the garage features 5′ knee walls and a 9′ ceiling. This room screams versatility! It could be a game room, a second living area, or perhaps an artist’s studio.
The substantial size offers endless possibilities.
Lower Level
Unfinished Basement
The lower level provides an unfinished basement. While it’s not immediately functional, this area holds high potential.
You could develop it into a home theater, additional bedrooms, or a vast storage area. I always believe that such a blank slate is an opportunity, not a downside.
Utility Room
There’s a dedicated utility room down here as well, keeping all the behind-the-scenes necessities out of sight and out of mind.
Final Thoughts
When considering this plan for your own home, think about how each space could work for you both now and in the future. Could the study become an essential workspace or the lanai an extension of your family room?
The versatility of this layout is what truly stands out to me.
Could you see yourself utilizing the upper bonus room for extra guests or perhaps a home business? I think the flexibility of this area allows the whole house to evolve with your needs.
Finally, while this floor plan excels in numerous ways, you might contemplate adding even more storage solutions, such as built-in shelving in the upstairs landing or the family room, to take full advantage of its modern farmhouse charm and practicality.
