This contemporary Scandinavian-inspired property stretches over 5,310 square feet and features 5 bedrooms across two distinct levels.

The design balances striking style with inviting, practical spaces for daily life. No matter if you’re coming home with groceries, hosting friends, or seeking a private spot to unwind, I think you’ll find the flow here makes sense for real life while still feeling stylish and comfortable.

Let’s take a walk through the layout and see how everything fits together.

  • 5 Beds
  • 5.5 Baths

The Floor Plans:

Front Porch

Before you even reach the door, the front porch sets the tone. Wide enough for a bench or a pair of chairs, it’s the kind of entry where you can picture kids dropping backpacks or neighbors pausing to chat.

The symmetry and modern farmhouse touches—from the mix of vertical siding to the dark-framed windows—give you a preview of what’s inside: clean, inviting, and full of personality.

Foyer

As you enter, you’ll notice the foyer with its impressive 15-foot ceilings. The space immediately feels open and welcoming.

It’s large enough to greet a crowd without being cramped, and the sightlines draw your eyes straight through to the back of the house.

Light streams in from the big front windows, making you feel at home right away.

Office

Just off the foyer, the office creates a private retreat for remote work or homework sessions.

Being up front is a great idea—you can keep an eye on deliveries or simply enjoy a peaceful view of the front yard.

I think this spot gives you just the right amount of separation from the main living areas, so you’re less likely to get distracted by what’s happening in the kitchen or family room.

Stair Tower

Before heading further into the main level, you’ll spot the stair tower conveniently placed beside the foyer.

This feature stands out as more architectural than purely functional. Its location near the entry allows both residents and guests to reach the lower level without needing to pass through the busiest areas of the house.

Family Room

Continue on and you’ll find the family room, which truly serves as the hub of the home.

Vaulted ceilings add a sense of height, and a wall of windows at the rear brings in soft, natural light.

There’s enough room for a sectional, oversized chairs, or even a piano. The open connection to the kitchen and dining areas makes it perfect for gatherings or quiet Sundays.

The fireplace gives the space a cozy focal point, especially when the weather turns chilly.

Kitchen

The kitchen is open to the family room, yet it stands out with its own identity.

There’s a substantial island for prepping and casual meals, plus plenty of counter space for spreading out.

If you love to cook, you’ll appreciate the walk-in pantry just steps away. It’s large enough to store bulk groceries, small appliances, or even keep a baking project out of sight.

With the kitchen so close to both dining and living zones, entertaining feels easy and natural.

Dining

Instead of being boxed in, the dining area stretches along the back wall, framed by windows that look onto the covered deck.

Meals here feel relaxed and connected to the outdoors, especially with those views. The space is large enough to handle a holiday crowd or just a few friends for a cozy dinner.

Covered Deck

You can step out from either the dining or family room to the covered deck.

This is more than a spot for grilling—it feels like a true outdoor living room.

Vaulted ceilings overhead and views of the yard make it perfect for morning coffee, late-night chats, or simply enjoying the rain.

I can picture string lights and lounge chairs here, making it useful nearly every month of the year.

Primary Suite

On the right side of the main level, the primary suite is set apart for privacy.

You pass a linen closet on the way, which is always useful, and then enter a bedroom that feels both spacious and calming.

Windows face the backyard, so you’ll wake up to gentle natural light. The vaulted ceiling brings in that retreat-like vibe.

Primary Bath

Connected to the primary suite, the bathroom includes a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, double vanity, and direct access to a large walk-in closet.

The setup is efficient for busy mornings and relaxing in the evenings. I really like how the closet is set apart, so you aren’t tiptoeing around if your partner keeps a different schedule.

Closet

The closet attached to the primary bath is impressive. There’s enough space for a full wardrobe and even a dresser or bench in the middle.

Staying organized is easy, and it’s close to the laundry but tucked away from the busiest parts of the house.

Guest Suite

On the opposite side of the main floor, you’ll find a guest bedroom located near the garage.

This area feels private, making it great for visitors or a live-in parent. There’s a full bath just outside the door, giving guests a bit of independence.

Utility Room

Nearby, the utility room is oversized and well-placed. With direct access to the mud room and garage, it’s easy to drop muddy boots or sports gear before they ever reach the main living areas.

There’s plenty of space for laundry, folding, and even a pet-washing station if you want to add one.

Mud Room

Coming in from the garage, you arrive in the mud room. Built-in cubbies or hooks catch bags, shoes, and coats before anyone heads further inside.

You’ll especially appreciate this space during school mornings or rainy days.

Pantry

Just steps from both the mud room and kitchen, the walk-in pantry makes unloading groceries quick and easy. It’s deep enough for serious storage but close enough to grab what you need while cooking.

Garage

The attached garage is spacious, fitting at least three vehicles with extra room for bikes, tools, or a workshop. Entry into the utility and mud room keeps things organized and clean, which is great for busy families.

Back to the Foyer

After moving through these practical spaces, you’re back in the foyer and ready to see what the lower level offers. The stair tower is easy to find, letting guests or family members reach the basement without any confusion.

Stair Tower Transition to Lower Level

When you head downstairs, the lower level opens up as a true extension of the main floor.

The high ceilings make it feel bright and airy. One of the first things you’ll notice is the natural light pouring in from the large rear windows and glass doors.

Game Room

At the bottom of the stairs, you arrive in a massive game room. There’s space for a pool table, gaming setup, or even ping pong.

This could easily become the hangout spot for teens, casual gatherings, or family movie nights.

The open layout means people can move in from the porch or bedrooms without crowding.

Back Porch

Glass doors from the game room lead directly to the back porch, a covered outdoor retreat that matches the deck above.

You can use it all year, and it’s great for grilling, reading, or just enjoying the backyard view.

I find the lower-level porch especially appealing during summer storms or warm evenings.

Media Room

Just off the game room, the media room is ready for immersive movie nights. With space for tiered seating or a giant sectional, streaming marathons or game days feel even more special here.

The wet bar just outside means snacks and drinks are always within reach.

Wet Bar

The wet bar sits beside the media room, making entertaining easy. There’s space for a fridge, sink, and storage for glasses and snacks.

This setup keeps the fun on the lower level, so you won’t be running upstairs for refills.

Bedroom 5

On the far left, Bedroom 5 features a walk-in closet and direct access to a full bath.

This makes it a great option for an older child, live-in nanny, or guests who need a bit more independence.

Its location away from the main game room means it stays quieter, too.

Bedroom 4

Bedroom 4 is located at the back, with its own closet and easy access to the game room.

I like how it gets plenty of daylight from the rear windows. This flexibility means you could use it as a traditional bedroom, playroom, or even a home gym.

Bedroom 3

On the opposite side, Bedroom 3 has its own closet and sits beside a full bathroom.

It works well for kids, guests, or even as a home office. The separation from the other bedrooms adds a little extra privacy.

Bathroom (Lower Level)

The lower-level bathroom is conveniently located for Bedrooms 3 and 4 as well as anyone enjoying the game room. No one has to walk far, and the layout keeps everyone’s routines running smoothly even when the house is full.

Mech/Storage

Last but not least, the mechanical and storage area is out of the main flow.

There’s plenty of room for holiday decorations, suitcases, or anything you want to keep out of sight.

I believe every house this size needs a dedicated storage spot, and this one delivers.

With its thoughtful flow, separate zones for gathering and privacy, and seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, this home is designed for both daily life and special celebrations.

Each room serves a purpose, and every level offers something unique. I can truly imagine settling in here and enjoying it for years to come.
