There’s something about a classic country home that draws people in before they’ve even set foot inside.
This one, with its wide porch, crisp white trim, and sturdy rooflines, promises warmth and welcome from the curb.
The inviting look isn’t the only thing that stands out. The way the spaces inside unfold across several levels makes a real difference, with each area designed for daily living.
4 bedrooms, nearly 4,790 square feet, and a mix of open gathering spaces and private retreats create a home that truly fits a busy lifestyle.
I’m excited to walk you through how each part of this house connects, from the first cozy corner to the last sunlit window upstairs.

The Floor Plans:
Foyer
You come in under the shelter of the front porch, and the foyer immediately sets a gentle, welcoming tone.
It serves as both an entrance and a small gallery, with crisp molding and a bronze statue displayed in a niche.
Warm wood floors make a lasting impression and add to the sense of artistry here.
There’s a sculptural side table for keys or a favorite lamp. The foyer leads naturally in three directions, hinting at all the space ahead.
Dining Room
To your right, you’ll find the dining room. This space feels designed for laughter and long meals.
The round table fits eight comfortably, and sunlight pours in through generous windows. Soft yellow walls paired with white wainscoting keep the room bright, while the built-in hutch displays dishes and glassware.
I think the layered drum pendant above the table adds a great modern touch. I can picture lingering over dessert here as the evening settles in.
The flow between the dining room, foyer, and kitchen makes entertaining or family breakfasts completely effortless.
Kitchen and Breakfast Area
As you move into the kitchen, the sense of openness grows. Vaulted ceilings and large windows keep this room bright all day.
The marble-topped island is a hardworking centerpiece, with seating for two and a deep farmhouse sink.
Creamy cabinetry and brushed nickel hardware offer a timeless look. The kitchen stretches into a flexible breakfast area, where a casual table by the window is perfect for coffee or helping with homework.
I always appreciate a kitchen that gives space for both cooking and conversation, and this one really nails it.
Mudroom and Laundry
Right off the kitchen, you’ll find a mudroom connecting the house to the garage and back porch.
Built-in benches and hooks make it easy to drop off coats and bags after a day out.
This space leads to a separate laundry area, which offers ample storage and a practical layout that makes chores much easier.
There’s natural light, a sturdy counter, and even a utility sink, turning an everyday task into something a lot more pleasant.
Pantry and Butler’s Pantry
Between the kitchen and dining room, you’ll notice two pantries: a main pantry and a butler’s pantry.
The main pantry is large enough for bulk goods and appliances, while the butler’s pantry provides extra prep space and storage.
If you enjoy entertaining, this setup lets you stage food and keep the kitchen looking tidy.
I really value this detail—it shows someone thought carefully about how people actually live in a home.
Great Room
Now, through the wide archway, step into the great room. Soaring ceilings and exposed beams immediately draw your eye upward, while tall windows flood the space with natural light.
This is the heart of the home for family and friends. The classic fireplace with built-in shelving on each side anchors the room, and a deep red rug centers the cozy seating area.
I love how the great room opens to the verandah outside, and the open hallway above adds a real sense of connection throughout the house.
Verandah
Slide open the doors to reach the vaulted verandah, which runs almost the full width of the house.
This covered porch acts as an outdoor living room, not just a walkway. With shelves above the wood stove, you could easily curl up with a book or host a barbecue, no matter the weather.
Wide stairs lead down to the backyard and pool, blending indoor comfort with outdoor fun.
The verandah connects the kitchen, great room, and master suite, turning it into a natural hub throughout the day.
Bar
Back inside, just off the great room, is a small bar area. It’s set in a convenient spot for entertaining, with space for glassware and bottles.
I think this area is just as useful for family movie nights as it is for adult gatherings.
Office
Across from the bar, the office sits in a quieter part of the home, near the front.
Built-in cabinetry lines the walls, and a generous desk sits beneath wraparound windows. The light here feels calm and uplifting, perfect for work or reading.
Plush seating and woven blinds add a touch of texture, and the layout keeps it separate enough from the great room that you won’t be distracted by activities nearby.
Guest Suite
On the left side of the house, the guest suite offers real comfort for visitors.
The room is spacious, with a bay window that lets in soft light. Guests enjoy a private bathroom and a roomy closet, so settling in feels easy.
I appreciate how the guest suite is set apart from the busiest areas of the house, giving everyone their own sense of privacy.
Pool Bath
Near the guest suite, you’ll find a pool bath with an exterior door for easy backyard access.
It includes a shower, which is perfect for cleaning up after swimming. The smart location means wet feet don’t have to walk through the main house, and the bath can serve as an extra bathroom during larger gatherings.
Master Suite
The master suite feels like a private retreat, set at the far end of the main floor.
Vaulted ceilings and tall windows keep the space airy, and a private door opens onto the verandah for those early morning moments outside.
Inside, the room has a fireplace and plenty of space for both a bed and a sitting area.
Striped drapes and soft green walls create a peaceful atmosphere. I can easily imagine enjoying coffee and a good book here to start the day.
His and Hers Closets and Baths
The master suite includes separate his and hers baths and closets. Each side offers a private, roomy closet with built-in shelving, plus its own bathroom.
One features a soaking tub beneath a window, accented by classic tilework and creamy cabinetry.
This setup offers true luxury and solitude for both partners, which I think really improves day-to-day living.
Garage and Shop/Storage
Beyond the mudroom, a generous garage provides space for three cars. Built-in storage lines the back, and there’s a separate shop or storage area for tools, projects, or sports gear.
A built-in workbench adds even more utility. I love how this area keeps clutter out of the main living spaces and gives you a dedicated spot for hobbies or organization.
BBQ Porch
Just off the mudroom and garage, the covered BBQ porch lets you grill year-round. It overlooks the backyard and stays comfortable even when it’s chilly.
Since it’s connected to both the kitchen and mudroom, this porch is a natural extension for parties or relaxed family dinners.
Stairs to Upper Level
Back near the foyer, a wide staircase curves gently upward. The open railings make the transition feel grand but still friendly.
At the top, a landing overlooks the great room below, adding to the open feel that runs throughout the house.
Upper Level Landing and Overlook
Upstairs, the landing works as an informal gathering space that links the bedrooms and playroom.
Looking down into the great room is a standout feature. You can hear the piano or call down to the kitchen without leaving the upper floor.
Bedrooms 2 and 3
On each side of the upper landing, you’ll find Bedrooms 2 and 3. Both are similar in size, each with a built-in desk under the window.
Soft carpet and high ceilings keep these rooms bright, and each has a closet with plenty of storage.
These rooms are flexible, so you can use them for kids, teens, or even as a guest room and office.
I like that both bedrooms are separated by shared spaces, which gives everyone some breathing room.
Media/Playroom
Between the bedrooms sits a vaulted media or playroom. It’s perfect for games, movies, or spreading out with crafts and toys.
There’s enough room for a big sectional or bean bags, and the tall windows let in lots of light.
If you need a study area or creative studio, this room is easy to adapt.
Upper Bath
The upstairs bedrooms share a bath that’s designed for convenience. The shower and toilet are tucked behind a separate door, so two people can get ready at the same time.
Good lighting and smart storage keep mornings running smoothly.
Basement
Downstairs, a separate staircase leads to the basement. This level is unfinished in the plans, so you have a blank slate for a rec room, gym, home theater, or extra storage.
There’s direct outdoor access, which makes moving furniture or setting up a workshop a breeze.
The size of this space is impressive. I think it’s a big plus if you want a home that can adapt as your needs change.
Outdoor Living Spaces
Back outside, the verandah opens up to an expansive patio, covered pergolas, and a pool area that feels like your own private club. Lush landscaping, stone accents, and the sound of water make this area ideal for hosting friends or just unwinding after a long day.
This home doesn’t just look welcoming from the street. It’s full of spaces that make daily living comfortable, practical, and a little bit special.
Each level connects naturally while keeping its own character. I think you’ll find the flow adapts easily to whatever your life brings next.
