With 2,484 square feet, flexible 3-6 bedrooms, and spaces for every activity, it’s a place where you can truly settle in, spread out, and make memories.

Since there are three distinct levels, there’s always a quiet corner or a spot for everyone—whether you’re hosting a big group or just enjoying a peaceful weekend by the lake.

I’d love to show you what makes this layout so inviting and practical.

Specifications:

  • 2,484 Heated S.F.
  • 3-6 Beds
  • 3.5-7.5 Baths
  • 1 Stories
  • 3 Cars

The Floor Plans:

Covered Porch

When you arrive, the covered porch immediately welcomes you. It stretches across the front, framed by warm wood columns and crisp white trim, creating a friendly first impression.

There’s plenty of space for rocking chairs, a porch swing, and even a small bistro table for morning coffee.

If you enjoy catching up with friends outdoors or relaxing with a good book at sunset, this porch makes it easy.

Foyer

Walking through the front door, the foyer gently eases you from the outdoors into the home, helping keep things organized and tidy.

Its open sightlines let you see how the living spaces connect without ever feeling cramped.

The foyer flows naturally toward the main living areas and also provides quick access to the dining room and bedrooms.

Dining Room

Just off the foyer, the dining room manages to feel both formal and inviting. It’s sized for a family table, making it perfect for holiday gatherings or regular weeknight meals.

I especially like the nearby coffee station, so you don’t have to go far for a refill during long dinners.

This area is bright and open, with easy access to the kitchen and great room, so everyone can stay connected during get-togethers.

Great Room

The great room is truly where daily living happens. High ceilings, a wall of windows, and shiplap detailing create a light, airy feel.

There’s a fireplace at one end, flanked by built-in shelves and room for plenty of seating.

I can picture movie nights here or curling up with a book as sunlight streams in.

This space opens directly to the covered porch and patio, which really brings the outdoors in.

Kitchen

Heading toward the kitchen, you’ll see it’s set up for both busy mornings and laid-back weekends.

Kitchen

The central island is big enough for meal prep, school projects, or casual breakfasts. Glass-front cabinets and rustic wood accents give it that farmhouse personality.

Natural light pours in from the breakfast nook, making this a favorite gathering spot. You get loads of counter space, a walk-in pantry for storage, and a layout that flows easily into the rest of the house.

Breakfast Nook

The breakfast nook beside the kitchen is just right for lazy brunches or quick weekday meals.

Surrounded by windows, it connects you to the outdoors and offers a relaxed way to start your day.

From here, you can step right out onto the back patio, which I think is perfect for enjoying meals outside when the weather’s nice.

Patio and Rear Covered Porch

Go out the back door and you’ll find a patio that leads to a covered porch.

Patio/Outdoor

This is an ideal spot to linger during summer evenings, with enough space for a grill or an outdoor dining set.

The covered section lets you escape the midday sun or host a barbecue even if it’s raining.

The rear elevation, with its gabled rooflines and French doors, really nails that classic farmhouse look.

Bedroom 2

Inside, one of the secondary bedrooms sits just off the foyer. It has its own closet and easy access to a hall bath, making it flexible as a guest room, home office, or a bedroom for kids.

The windows bring in lots of light, and there’s enough space for a full bedroom set.

Bedroom 3

A bit farther down the hall, Bedroom 3 is nearly identical to Bedroom 2 in size and layout.

It’s close to the shared bath, so it’s really convenient for siblings or visitors. The location at the front of the house means it gets morning sun—which I think gives the room a cheerful vibe.

Hall Bath and Linen Closet

These bedrooms share a hall bath that’s thoughtfully arranged, with a combination tub and shower plus double sinks to make busy mornings easier.

A linen closet across the hall keeps towels and essentials handy. Little touches like these make daily routines run smoother.

Master Suite

The master suite sits privately at the back of the main floor, creating a true retreat.

Master Suite

With its generous size, there’s space for a king-sized bed and a sitting area by the windows.

Soft colors and natural light give it a calm, restful feel. Two walk-in closets—one for each person—offer plenty of storage, so there’s never a battle for space.

The ensuite bath includes double vanities, a soaking tub, and a large shower, giving you a spa-like experience at home.

I really appreciate how the suite feels tucked away for privacy, yet still has backyard views and a quiet connection to the rest of the house.

Pantry

Between the kitchen and dining areas, the walk-in pantry is a real workhorse. It keeps groceries, small appliances, and snacks tucked away but easily accessible.

Mud Room

The mud room acts as a buffer between the garage and the main living areas, with built-in hooks and storage cubbies for shoes, backpacks, and coats. It’s especially useful for coming in from the garden or after a muddy walk, helping keep the rest of the house neat.

Utility Room

Next to the mud room, the utility room serves as the perfect laundry spot. There’s space for a washer, dryer, folding station, and even a sink for extra-messy jobs.

Storage and Coat Closets

Throughout the main floor, you’ll notice several closets—including coat closets by the foyer and extra storage off the mud room—plus plenty of built-in shelving. These details really help keep daily life organized.

3-Car Garage

The attached three-car garage connects directly to the mud room. You have more than enough space for vehicles, bikes, or tools.

There’s also an optional dedicated workshop or a possible two-car extension, depending on your needs.

If you’re into DIY projects or hobbies, this flexibility lets you create the perfect setup.

Future In-Law Suite

A standout feature is the future in-law suite, which connects to the main house by a walkway while maintaining privacy.

The suite includes a living room, bedroom, full bath, and the possibility for a kitchenette.

I think this is a great setup for multi-generational living, offering independence while keeping loved ones close.

It could also work well as guest quarters or an office.

Side Porch

On the side, a smaller porch gives you another sheltered spot for quiet afternoons or chatting with neighbors. It’s also handy for stashing boots or gardening gear before heading inside.

Upstairs: Media Room and Office Room

Heading upstairs, a vaulted hallway welcomes you with openness. At the top, you’ll find a future media room.

You might picture this as a home theater, gaming space, or music studio—the options are wide open.

Across the hall, there’s a large office or creative room, which works well for remote work, homework, or hobbies.

Thanks to the tall ceilings and natural light, both rooms feel inviting and never cramped.

Full Bath (Upstairs)

There’s a full bath upstairs, which means the upper level can stand alone for work, relaxation, or guests. I’ve noticed this layout is ready for all kinds of uses, from teens wanting their own space to adults needing a work-life separation.

Attic Storage

Just off the media room, a large attic storage area offers space for holiday decorations, keepsakes, or anything you want out of the way but still reachable. If you like keeping things tidy, this extra storage is a real bonus.

Lower Level: Social Room

Moving to the lower level, you’ll find a central social room that’s perfect for big gatherings, game nights, or casual parties.

It opens right onto a patio, making it easy to blend indoor and outdoor entertaining.

If you love hosting, this space will definitely appeal to you.

Game Room

Next to the social room, the game room is large enough for a pool table, ping pong, or a big sectional for watching sports. The suggested kitchen nearby keeps snacks and drinks close, so it’s ideal for parties or celebrations.

Play Room

The play room is set apart for privacy, creating a spot where kids can spread out toys and use their imagination. With a bathroom and closet nearby, it’s both fun and practical.

Guest Rooms (Lower Level)

You’ll find two finished guest rooms on this level, each with its own closet. A nearby bathroom makes it easy to host overnight visitors or give teens more independence.

Mancave

A little farther along, the mancave is perfect for a home gym, workshop, or just a private hangout. With a closet and convenient access to the rest of the lower level, it’s a flexible space that you can truly make your own.

Media Room (Lower Level)

On the lower level, there’s also a media room ready for a home theater or music studio. Its size and location make it easy to set up a soundproof retreat or just enjoy a quiet movie night.

Gym

The gym room gives fitness its own dedicated space. Whether you’re into high-intensity workouts or prefer yoga and stretching, you have plenty of room here, separate from the main living areas.

Storage, Mechanical, and Utility Spaces

Finally, the lower level includes several storage rooms and mechanical spaces. These spots help keep essentials out of sight and give you plenty of space to stay organized, no matter how much your family grows or changes.

With three full levels and rooms for just about any purpose, I think this home really has something for everyone.

You’ll find spots for entertaining, quiet corners to relax, and space for hobbies or guests throughout every floor.

The combination of farmhouse charm and modern features makes daily living comfortable—no matter where life takes you.
