There’s something about a home that makes you want to linger at the front door before you venture inside.
This one immediately catches the eye with its blend of Craftsman details and mountain lodge warmth: gray siding, big gables, chunky stone pillars, and generous windows that promise sunlight and wide views.
With two levels that each have their own style, a mix of welcoming indoor spaces, and expansive patios, this layout gives you plenty of room for gathering, relaxing, and making memories every day.

The Floor Plans:
Front Porch
Before you even turn the handle, the front porch sets the mood. It’s wide and welcoming, bordered by those signature stone columns and a crisp white trim that pops against the gray siding.
There’s enough space here for a bench or a couple of rocking chairs. I can picture sipping coffee out here, catching the first light, or greeting neighbors as they stroll past.
It feels like a threshold where you can pause and take a breath before heading inside.
Entry
As you walk into the home, the foyer immediately feels open. The entry stretches inward, with clear sightlines toward the main living areas.
At the same time, it provides a gentle buffer from the outdoors. A closet sits to one side—perfect for coats and bags—which keeps the space uncluttered.
The staircase is off to the side, leading down to even more living space below.
I think this entry does what it should: it welcomes you without feeling overwhelming.
Living Room
Moving forward, the living room opens up in front of you. This is a bright, central space, anchored by large windows that pull in natural light and frame backyard views.
The room is generously sized for both casual lounging and bigger gatherings. You have flexibility here—plenty of wall space for a media setup, and still room for bookshelves or a statement sofa.
I like how the living room sits right at the crossroads of the house. It connects easily to the dining area, the kitchen, and even the office if you work from home.
Office
Just off the living room, there’s a dedicated office. With a sense of privacy, it’s ideal if you’re working remotely or just need a quiet spot for reading or projects.
Light streams in from two directions thanks to the corner windows, which creates a pleasant workspace that feels separate from the energy of the main living zones.
I think the size is just right—not too big to feel cold, not so small you feel boxed in.
Dining
The dining area sits along the back of the house, right next to the living room and the kitchen.
Its placement means meals can be casual or celebratory, and it’s easy to serve from the kitchen just steps away.
What really stands out here are the windows and the sliding door leading straight to the covered patio.
This makes outdoor dining easy and keeps the space feeling connected to the outdoors.
Kitchen
Next up is the kitchen. At nearly 15 feet wide, this space easily handles a crowd—no matter if you’re prepping a holiday meal or serving breakfast on a busy morning.
A large central island gives you plenty of room for chopping, chatting, or spreading out homework.
The walk-in pantry keeps counters clear, and there’s a logical flow to the appliances and prep zones.
I always appreciate a kitchen with a direct view of the backyard, and you get that here thanks to the window above the sink.
Pantry
Right beside the kitchen, the walk-in pantry is a real workhorse. It’s deep enough for bulk storage, with plenty of shelving for both food and kitchen gadgets.
This keeps the main kitchen uncluttered and makes it easy to keep things organized. I think having the pantry right off the main kitchen area is a practical choice for busy families.
Mud Room
A short hallway from the kitchen leads you to the mud room. This is the everyday drop zone, complete with space for shoes, backpacks, and seasonal gear.
Coming in from the garage, you can unload before you even reach the main living space.
Hooks, benches, and cubbies all fit here, and the nearby coat closet adds extra storage.
For me, a good mud room is a must in any home where people are coming and going.
Laundry
The laundry room is just beyond the mud room, close to the garage entrance. It’s tucked away but still easy to access, so you’re not hauling baskets across the house.
There’s room for a full-size washer and dryer, plus a utility sink for any messy jobs.
A window lets in natural light, which makes chores a little more pleasant.
Powder Room and Hallway Storage
Near the laundry and mud room, you’ll find a powder room—very handy for guests or anyone coming in from the garage.
There’s also a hall closet and an additional storage area nearby. These small details make everyday living smoother by keeping what you need close at hand, without cluttering up the main spaces.
Primary Bedroom
The primary suite is set apart at the back of the house for privacy. This room is spacious enough for a king bed and a sitting area, with windows overlooking the backyard and patio.
There’s a real sense of retreat here, away from the main activity of the house.
Double doors connect the bedroom to the covered patio, so you can head outside for fresh air whenever you want.
Primary Bathroom
Connected to the primary bedroom, the ensuite bath feels like your own home spa. Dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a separate shower mean there’s space to relax or get ready quickly.
The walk-in closet is large enough for true wardrobe storage, and there’s a private toilet room for comfort.
I notice the natural light here—it really adds to the peaceful vibe of this space.
Walk-In Closet (W.I.C.)
Directly off the primary bath, the walk-in closet is well-sized and easy to customize. You can add shelves or organizers so everything is within reach, and you’re not losing living space elsewhere.
Bedroom 2
In the bedroom wing, Bedroom 2 sits at the end of a hallway for added privacy.
It’s a nice size, with its own closet and easy access to a full bath next door.
This room is flexible—it would work well for a child, guest, or even as a hobby space if you don’t need a fifth bedroom.
The window orientation gives it plenty of daylight without overheating.
Full Bath (Bedroom Wing)
Serving Bedroom 2 and nearby spaces, this bathroom is efficient and accessible. There’s a tub-shower combo, a large vanity, and extra storage for linens or supplies.
With the laundry and mud room close by, this area almost feels like its own comfortable suite.
Garage Wing
On the far right side, you’ll notice the three-car garage setup. Two separate bays, including one that’s oversized, offer flexibility for vehicles, storage, or a workshop area.
There’s direct access from the garage into the mud room. I think this detail is key for keeping the rest of the home clean and organized.
The location also makes grocery runs easier, since you’re never far from the kitchen.
Covered Patio and Patios
You can head out from the dining area or primary suite straight to the covered patio, which runs almost the full width of the back of the house.
There’s room here for an outdoor dining set, lounge chairs, or even a grilling station.
Beyond the covered area, three additional patio zones give you options for gardening, sunbathing, or just relaxing.
I love how these outdoor spaces are layered and accessible from multiple rooms, so moving between indoors and out feels completely natural.
Stairs to Lower Level
Let’s take a look at the lower level. The stairs are right off the entry, so reaching this extra living space is easy.
Rec Room
At the bottom of the stairs, you’ll find a massive rec room. This is truly a multi-purpose area—imagine a home theater, game nights, or even hosting large family gatherings.
There’s enough room for a pool table, comfy seating, and a play area, all in one.
Windows along the back wall keep it from feeling dark, and you can get to other activity zones from here.
Gaming Room
Next to the rec room, the gaming room is a focused space for hobbies, cards, or video games.
It’s easy to picture this being a favorite hangout for teens, or even as a quiet puzzle or reading nook.
The proportions work well for different setups, and the layout keeps noise away from the bedrooms.
Laundry (Lower Level)
Having a laundry room on this floor is a real convenience. You can deal with weekend sheets and towels without carrying them upstairs.
This little feature makes the lower level work well for guests or older kids.
Bedroom 3
A bit deeper into the lower level, Bedroom 3 sits toward the back corner. It’s larger than many secondary bedrooms and comes with a full-sized closet.
This would make a great guest suite, especially with a bathroom close by.
Bedroom 4
Bedroom 4 is located next to Bedroom 3 and shares a nearby full bath. Again, the size is generous and the windows let in lots of light.
I think this layout works especially well for siblings or when you have multiple guests.
Bedroom 5
Across the hall, Bedroom 5 also has its own closet and windows. This part of the house feels like a private wing, so it’s easy for extended family to stay longer or for older children to have their own space.
Bathrooms (Lower Level)
There are two bathrooms on this level, which makes things much more comfortable for anyone staying or hanging out downstairs.
Each bathroom is designed for efficiency, with space for both showering and storage. The separate arrangement means no one has to wait in line during busy mornings.
Unfinished Mechanical Room
On the lower level, you’ll find an unfinished mechanical room. This is the practical core of the house, perfect for storing seasonal gear, tools, or anything you want out of the main living areas.
Home systems are kept out of sight but are still easy to access when needed.
Extra Storage and Utility Spaces
You’ll also find additional closets and storage nooks throughout the lower level. These features help keep everything organized and the main spaces uncluttered.
Each level of this home balances everyday ease with special details. From the sunlit living room to the flexible lower level, there’s room for both quiet moments and lively gatherings.
I think with all these spaces, you’re set up to grow, relax, and make plenty of lasting memories here.
