The Floor Plans:

Covered Entry Porch

Approaching the home, you’re welcomed by a generous covered porch. The arched brickwork, wood accents, and neat landscaping combine to create a sense of warmth and privacy. This porch isn’t just decorative—it’s deep enough for seating, perfect for greeting neighbors or enjoying a morning coffee sheltered from the weather.

Foyer

Stepping through the front door, you find yourself in a spacious foyer that immediately draws your eye upward to the ceiling above. The open-to-above design brings in light and gives that first impression of volume and softness that French Country homes are known for. Double doors and wide sightlines lead you further inside, branching off to both private and public rooms.

Office / Study

Just off the foyer, the office or study sits tucked away behind a solid door. Whether you work from home or just need a private spot for reading or organizing life, this room offers both quiet and natural light. The location at the front of the house means you can keep an eye on arrivals or simply enjoy views of the landscaped entry.

Safe Room

Nestled by the porte cochere entry, the safe room is one of those rare modern amenities that provides peace of mind. I think its placement—accessible but discreet—shows the designer’s attention to both security and convenience.

Guest Room

Moving along the front hall, you’ll discover a guest suite near the main entrance. With its own closet and full bath nearby, this bedroom gives visitors a private, comfortable place to settle in without being too removed from the home’s social areas. It also works well as an in-law suite or for anyone needing main-floor living.

Bath

Across from the guest room, you’ll find a spacious full bath that serves both the guest suite and anyone using the front wing of the home. It’s positioned for easy access from all the main floor’s busy spots without sacrificing anyone’s privacy.

Great Room

The great room sits at the heart of the floor plan, with soaring beamed ceilings and a fireplace that anchors the space. Natural light pours in from the rear windows, and I love how the wide, open flow makes entertaining effortless. There’s enough room for a big sectional, family gatherings, or even a grand piano. French doors open to the back porch, blurring the line between indoors and out.

Hearth Room / Dining

Just off the kitchen, the hearth room blends casual dining and relaxed gathering space. The second fireplace here brings even more warmth, making this a spot people naturally gravitate toward. Whether you’re hosting friends or winding down after a long day, this area can flex between formal dining and everyday meals. You can see how the hearth room, kitchen, and great room all connect—ideal for both small family dinners and large holiday parties.

Kitchen

The kitchen is generous, set up for both serious cooking and socializing. There’s a huge central island for prep work or chatting over snacks, double ovens, and a walk-in pantry that keeps the clutter out of sight. I think the layout works well for anyone who loves to entertain—everything is close at hand, but there’s enough space for helpers to pitch in without bumping elbows. Extra storage and a built-in desk make the kitchen as practical as it is beautiful.

Pantry

Tucked just off the kitchen, the walk-in pantry offers deep shelving and plenty of space to stock up on essentials. You can store bulk groceries, small appliances, and party supplies here without sacrificing prime kitchen real estate.

Kid’s Nook & Bench with Hanging

Right by one of the garage entries, there’s a kid’s nook with built-in bench and coat hooks. This is the spot where backpacks, shoes, and gear land at the end of the school day. It’s also perfect for staying organized—everything has its place, so clutter doesn’t spill into the main living areas.

Pet Room

Next to the garage, you find a pet room. This small but thoughtful space gives furry family members a spot for beds, food bowls, or even a built-in dog wash. If you’ve ever struggled with muddy paw prints, you’ll appreciate having this contained area.

Storage Room

At the back of the larger garage, you’ll see a dedicated storage room. Whether you need a spot for sports gear, tools, or holiday decorations, this extra space keeps the rest of the house tidy and uncluttered.

Garage

The main garage is spacious enough for two cars and connects directly to the house through the mudroom area. For families with older kids, multiple drivers, or car enthusiasts, this setup really works.

2-Car Garage and Shop/Storage

Across the porte cochere, there’s a second two-car garage plus a separate shop and storage room. If you have hobbies that require workspace or you just like to tinker with projects, this area delivers. The layout also makes it easy to keep yard equipment, bicycles, or tools organized and out of sight.

Porte Cochere

The porte cochere connects the two garage wings while creating a welcoming covered drive for arrivals. I think this detail brings a touch of old-world charm while offering practical shelter—no more dashing through the rain with groceries.

Home Theater

Back inside, you’ll find a dedicated home theater room. With its windowless design and central location, this space is ideal for movie nights or gaming marathons. Built-in storage can hide all the tech and media, so the room stays sleek and inviting.

Powder Room (Half Bath)

Near the hearth room and kitchen, the powder room is perfectly placed for guests. It’s close to the main living spaces but discreet enough for privacy, with easy access from the outdoor areas as well.

Laundry

Off the main hallway near the master suite, you’ll step into a large laundry room. There’s space for both washers and dryers, plus countertops and hanging area. The inclusion of a fireplace here is a surprising and smart touch—it makes a typically utilitarian chore feel a bit more special.

Master Suite

Tucked away in its own wing, the master suite is designed for comfort and peace. Tall windows frame backyard views, and the bedroom itself has space for a sitting area. The master bath is a luxury retreat, with a soaking tub set beneath a window, a walk-in shower, double vanities, and a private water closet. A generous walk-in closet sits just beyond, providing plenty of room for wardrobes and storage. I like how this suite feels set apart, yet still close to everything.

Covered Outdoor Living / Grilling Porch

Step through the great room’s French doors and you’ll find yourself on a sprawling covered porch. With built-in grilling space and room for dining or lounging, this area is made for year-round outdoor living. High ceilings and arched openings echo the home’s classic style, and the connection to the backyard is seamless. This is where you’ll want to host summer barbecues or relax with a book in the shade.

Guest Bath

Near the foyer, you’ll also find a full guest bath that serves any visitors or works for quick cleanups near the front door. It’s positioned for convenience without disrupting the flow of the main spaces.

Now that you’ve explored everything the main floor offers, let’s head upstairs to see what surprises wait on the second level.

Foyer (Open to Below)

At the top of the stairs, you get a dramatic view back down to the entry. This lofted overlook keeps the upstairs feeling open and connected to the main floor. It also helps natural light travel through both levels of the house.

Bedroom 3

To the right of the stairs, Bedroom 3 offers a cozy, private retreat with closet space and direct access to a full bath. It’s sized well for kids or guests, with a window overlooking the front yard.

Bedroom 4

Bedroom 4 sits just across from Bedroom 3. It mirrors many of the same features, including a private closet and easy access to a nearby bath. These rooms are perfectly arranged for siblings or guests wanting a bit of independence.

Bath

Centrally located, the upstairs bath is shared between Bedroom 3 and Bedroom 4. I noticed that the hallway nearby includes a linen closet, making it easy to keep towels and toiletries close at hand.

Game Room

Walking further in, the upstairs opens up to a huge game room. This is the perfect spot for a pool table, ping pong, or even a teen lounge. French doors open to overlook the backyard, and the space is large enough to host friends or family for game night. I can imagine this becoming the upstairs hangout spot for all ages.

Bedroom 6

Off the game room, you’ll find Bedroom 6. With its own closet and access to a private bath, this room is well-suited for an older child, guest, or even a live-in nanny. The location, slightly apart from the others, gives it a quiet, tucked-away feel.

Bath (Bedroom 6)

Directly attached to Bedroom 6, this private bath means no one has to wait in line for a shower or worry about sharing space.

Bedroom 5

Across the game room, Bedroom 5 continues the upstairs theme of privacy and comfort. Like the others, it includes a closet and its own full bath just steps away. The window placement brings in plenty of natural light.

Bath (Bedroom 5)

This bath is dedicated to Bedroom 5, keeping the upstairs layout highly functional—no squabbles over who gets the shower first.

Laundry (Second Floor)

Upstairs laundry is one of those features you don’t know you need until you have it. Located near Bedroom 5 for easy access, it keeps chores convenient and cuts down on trips up and down the stairs.

Hobby / Bonus Room

A long hallway leads you away from the main upstairs wing, ending in a large hobby or bonus room set apart from the bedrooms. The vaulted ceiling and generous footprint make this space incredibly flexible. Maybe it’s your craft studio, a home gym, or a music room. Because it’s set away from the rest of the house, you can pursue hobbies without disturbing anyone.
