Stepping up to this home, you immediately feel a sense of comfort and southern hospitality.

With 2,851 square feet, the long, low roofline and crisp white board-and-batten siding create a classic yet fresh look.

Wide porches stretch across the front and back, offering plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors.

Inside, the layout is cleverly designed for modern living, with gathering spaces at the center and bedrooms placed strategically for privacy.

The second level provides even more options, making this home adaptable for various needs.

Specifications:

  • 2,851 Heated S.F.
  • 3 Beds
  • 3 Baths
  • 3 Stories
  • 3 Cars

The Floor Plans:

Porch

From the curb, the deep covered porch sets a welcoming tone. Those double French doors just beg to be thrown open on a breezy day.

Picture yourself here with a mug of coffee and a book, or chatting with neighbors while keeping an eye on kids riding bikes nearby.

The porch runs the full width of the house, so there’s room for rockers, a porch swing, even a small table for weekend breakfasts.

Foyer

Step through the front doors and you’re greeted by an open foyer that flows smoothly into the living spaces.

Light pours in from the porch windows, making the entry feel bright and airy.

There’s no wasted space here—just a well-placed coat closet to the right, perfect for keeping bags and jackets out of sight.

From this vantage point, you can see straight through the center of the home, giving a sense of how open and connected everything feels.

Office

Off the entry, you’ll find a dedicated office with a view of the front porch.

It’s set behind sliding barn doors, which offer flexibility for privacy or openness depending on your mood.

The room is just the right size for a pair of desks or a cozy reading chair.

I think the location is ideal—close enough to the main areas to feel connected, yet removed enough for focused work.

Dining Room

Across from the office, the dining room sits right up front with its own set of double doors leading onto the porch.

This layout makes formal meals feel special, while the connection to the patio keeps things casual and approachable.

There’s enough space for a long table, and the proximity to the kitchen makes serving easy.

You can easily imagine family dinners spilling out onto the porch on warm evenings.

Vaulted Great Room

Move deeper inside and you enter the vaulted great room, which acts as the central gathering spot for the entire home.

The soaring ceilings give the room an expansive feel, while large windows pull in views of the backyard and outdoor living area.

The floor plan keeps the great room open to the kitchen and dining room, but there are subtle boundaries created by ceiling height and furniture placement.

I really like how this space manages to feel both grand and inviting.

Kitchen

Just off the great room, the kitchen is tailor-made for entertaining or simply staying connected with family while cooking.

The oversized island anchors the space, offering seating for four and plenty of prep area.

There’s a gas range against the back wall, double ovens nearby, and a direct line of sight to the vaulted great room.

Cabinets wrap the perimeter, providing ample storage, while the flow into the pantry and butler’s pantry keeps everything organized and close at hand.

Pantry and Butler’s Pantry

A walk-in pantry sits just off the kitchen—tall shelving makes it easy to keep groceries and appliances out of sight but still accessible.

The adjacent butler’s pantry is an extra touch.

With counter space for coffee makers or serving dishes, it acts as a staging area between the kitchen and outdoor living spaces.

I think this setup is perfect for busy mornings or when you’re hosting a crowd.

Mudroom

Heading toward the garage, you pass through the mudroom. This area works overtime, with built-in cubbies, hooks, and a bench for kicking off muddy boots.

The laundry appliances are right here as well, making it simple to drop dirty clothes before they make it into the living areas.

There’s a door leading directly from the garage, so you’re not dragging mess through the main house.

Garage and Shop

The garage is oversized and can easily handle two or more vehicles, with lots of extra room for bikes, tools, or storage.

A dedicated shop space off the main garage is a real bonus.

Whether you’re into woodworking, need a spot for holiday decorations, or just want a hobby zone that’s out of the way, this area is up for the challenge.

Owner’s Suite

Located at the rear of the house for maximum privacy, the owner’s suite is both spacious and serene.

Large windows look out to the backyard, and there’s enough room for a sitting area if you want to create your own retreat.

The attached bath feels more like a spa, with double vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower.

A private toilet compartment keeps things tidy. What really stands out is the enormous walk-in closet—plenty of space for wardrobes of any size, with room to spare for shoes, bags, or even a dressing island.

Bedrooms 2 and 3

Across the great room, two additional bedrooms share their own wing. Each bedroom is generously sized, with walk-in closets and easy access to a shared bathroom.

There’s a hallway linen closet nearby, ideal for keeping extra towels and bedding close at hand.

I appreciate that these bedrooms are positioned together but still have their own sense of separation from the main living areas, offering both independence and connection for kids or guests.

Shared Bathroom

The secondary bathroom sits conveniently between bedrooms two and three. A full tub and shower combination, along with a large vanity, means there’s plenty of room for morning routines.

The separation from the owner’s suite adds a layer of privacy that older kids or overnight guests will definitely appreciate.

Linen Closets and Storage

You’ll notice there are several linen and storage closets sprinkled throughout the layout. One sits in the bedroom wing, another near the mudroom.

These simple touches make everyday life smoother, offering places to stash bedding, seasonal gear, or cleaning supplies without cluttering up the main rooms.

Vaulted Outdoor Living

Just beyond the great room, a set of wide doors opens to the vaulted outdoor living area.

This covered space is equally suited for family gatherings or quiet afternoons listening to the rain.

There’s a built-in summer kitchen for grilling, an outdoor sink, and enough room for a full-sized dining table plus lounge seating.

The vaulted ceiling makes everything feel light and open, while the deep roofline keeps you protected from sun or showers.

I think this area is a natural extension of the home’s living space and would quickly become a favorite hangout spot.

Summer Kitchen

Part of the outdoor living area, the summer kitchen is built for easy entertaining. With a grill, prep sink, and counter space, you could whip up burgers or lemonade without needing to go back inside.

It’s also handy for keeping mess outdoors during big gatherings. You can picture summer evenings here, grilling while friends and family gather around.

Transition to Upper Level

Now, let’s head up the stairs located just behind the mudroom area. This is where the second level comes into play, offering a flexible retreat set apart from the main activity of the house.

Loft / Media Room

At the top of the staircase, you step into a cozy loft or media room.

It’s the kind of space that can morph to suit your needs—movie nights, a homework zone, or even a playroom for younger kids.

There’s room for a sectional and a TV, plus shelving for games and books. Because it’s set apart from the main floor, you don’t have to worry about noise spilling over into the living areas.

I think families with teens or guests would find this upstairs bonus space especially handy.

Unfinished Area

Connected to the loft is a large unfinished space. Measuring 14 by 33 feet, it’s a blank canvas.

You might use it for storage, or finish it out later as a gym, studio, or extra bedroom.

The flexibility here is a real asset, letting you adapt as your needs change over time.

You could even imagine a new home office or game room if you want to expand.

Back downstairs, the flow of the main level encourages daily routines that just feel easy.

The connection between indoor and outdoor spaces invites year-round enjoyment, while the separation of bedrooms ensures privacy.

Each area, from the practical mudroom to the spacious great room, feels thoughtfully planned. This is the kind of layout that grows with you, offering both timeless charm and everyday flexibility.
