The Floor Plans:

Covered Entrance and Veranda

When you arrive at the house, you’re greeted by a generous covered entrance, framed on both sides by two covered verandas.

This entry does more than just keep you out of the rain—it creates a real sense of arrival.

I think the symmetry here is grand without feeling overdone. The verandas give you plenty of room for a couple of chairs or some seasonal greenery, setting a warm tone before you even walk through the front door.

Foyer

Once inside, you step into an 11×11 foyer that immediately gives you space to breathe.

There’s enough room for welcoming guests or just dropping your things after a long day.

Your eyes are drawn toward the central living spaces, but you can also easily reach the rest of the main floor from here.

This spot quietly lets you know you’re somewhere special.

Dining Room

Off to the left, the dining room sits just off the foyer. It feels open but still has its own defined space.

With dimensions of 13×15, there’s plenty of room for a generous table. Whether it’s a family dinner or a holiday gathering, this room is ready.

What I like about its location is that it can feel formal when you want, but still stays connected to the rest of daily life.

Great Room

Straight ahead from the foyer, the great room really opens up. At 21×19, this is where the main floor comes alive.

Sunlight pours in through the windows at the back, instantly catching your attention. You can easily imagine this room full of laughter during movie nights or being a cozy spot to unwind after a busy day.

The way it connects directly to both the kitchen and sun deck makes it easy to entertain or just relax.

Kitchen

Just to the left of the great room, the kitchen is truly the heart of the home.

The 18×18 layout features a large island, perfect for meals, snacks, or homework sessions.

Open sightlines connect you to the eating nook and great room, so you’re never separated from the action while cooking.

I’ve always felt that kitchens like this make daily routines simpler, especially since you get direct access to the pantry and mudroom.

Eating Nook

Positioned right behind the kitchen, the eating nook measures 16×8. Windows on two sides fill this space with natural light for most of the day.

It’s easy to picture starting your mornings here with coffee, or enjoying a relaxed meal while looking out onto the sun deck and backyard.

I think there’s something special about a nook surrounded by windows—it can turn even a simple breakfast into a bright, cheerful moment.

Sun Deck

Step out from the eating nook and you’re on the sun deck, an impressive 49×18 outdoor space that spans the width of the main living area.

This deck blends indoor and outdoor living, making it perfect for summer barbecues or quiet evenings watching the sunset.

I can just see kids playing here or guests gathering for a party, with plenty of room for everyone.

3 Season Room

Off the left rear of the kitchen, the 3 season room offers a different kind of retreat.

With screens or sliding windows, this 20×22 space lets you enjoy fresh air without worrying about bugs or chilly breezes.

You might use it for relaxed reading, a garden-themed workspace, or even informal dinners when the weather is nice.

I love having a flexible room like this—it’s a little luxury that you’ll use more than you expect.

Laundry Room

Located conveniently near the garage and kitchen, the laundry room is set up for both efficiency and privacy.

At 15×8, there’s plenty of room for sorting, folding, and even managing piles of sports gear or muddy shoes.

The direct route from garage to laundry really helps keep messes under control, which I always appreciate in a busy home.

Mud Room

As you come in from the garage, you pass through a mud room that acts as the hardworking entry point.

Whether you’re shedding wet boots or hanging up heavy coats, this is where the outside stays outside.

The mud room links directly to the laundry and pantry, so everything you need is right at hand.

Pantry

Between the mud room and kitchen, the pantry gives you valuable storage without cluttering up the kitchen itself.

It’s easy to grab what you need, and if you’re someone who loves organized shelves or stocking up on groceries, this space is a real treat.

Lavatory

A small lavatory is close to the mud room and laundry, making it a practical spot for guests or a quick wash-up after coming in from the garage.

I like how it helps keep the main living areas clean by offering a convenient pit stop.

4 Car Garage

This plan features a 53×32, 4-car garage, offering space for vehicles, bikes, kayaks, and more.

If you’re a car lover or just want extra room for storage, this garage fits the bill.

The direct entry to the mud room keeps things neat and efficient.

Den/Bedroom

Down the hallway from the great room, there’s a flexible space labeled Den/Bedroom. At 13×13, it works as a guest room, private office, or even a cozy library.

I appreciate that it’s a bit removed from the main living areas, adding privacy for work or overnight guests.

Master Bedroom

On the right side of the home, the master bedroom stretches 15×21 and sits away from the central hustle and bustle.

This location gives it a calm, relaxing atmosphere. With windows overlooking the backyard and easy access to the ensuite and walk-in closet, it’s easy to imagine winding down here every night.

Walk-In Closet

Connected to the master suite, the walk-in closet is a generous 15×11. There’s enough space for clothes, shoes, and accessories, plus extra storage. I think a closet like this can really help your day start and end on a more organized note.

Ensuite

The master ensuite feels like a boutique hotel, measuring 20×16. There’s room for a double vanity, soaking tub, and walk-in shower.

Natural light streams in, and the layout gives you both luxury and privacy. If you love a spa-like bathroom, this one delivers.

Staircase to Lower Level

From the foyer, the staircase leads down to the lower level. I like how this transition feels open and inviting, making the lower level feel like an active part of the home rather than just a basement.

Family Room (Lower Level)

At the foot of the stairs, the family room opens up to a spacious 21×21 area.

It’s perfect for game nights, movie marathons, or just letting the kids hang out with friends.

Its central spot downstairs makes it easy to keep an eye on everything.

Games Room

Right next to the family room, the games room encourages fun with a size of 15×13.

There’s even a wet bar in the corner, so snacks and drinks are always close by.

I think this is the kind of space that brings everyone together, no matter how busy life gets.

Covered Patio

From the games room, step outside to a covered patio that matches the sun deck above—49×18 and designed for relaxing in any weather.

Just past the family room, the theatre room sits ready for movie nights or gaming sessions.

At 17×13, it has enough separation from the main living areas to give you the true cinema experience right at home.

Exercise Room

Next to the family room, the exercise room offers a bright, open 18×12 space for workouts, yoga, or stretching.

There’s enough room for equipment, and its location near the bedrooms makes it easy to fit in a morning routine.

Bed #3

Down the hall from the family room, bedroom #3 measures 15×14 and has its own sense of privacy.

It’s perfect for teens, guests, or a long-term family member. With the bath and sauna nearby, everyone in this part of the house gets a little extra comfort.

Bed #4

Just across from bedroom #3, bedroom #4 is even larger at 16×17. It offers the same sense of privacy and also has easy access to the bath and sauna.

I think guests will feel really comfortable in this space.

Bath

A full bath between bedrooms #3 and #4 measures 8×12. It’s well set up as a shared bathroom for the lower level, with enough room to keep mornings moving smoothly.

Sauna

Right next to the bath, the sauna (8×8) adds a touch of boutique hotel luxury.

After a workout or a cold day outside, having your own sauna feels like such an indulgence.

Storage

A 7×12 storage room sits near the bedrooms, offering a spot to keep seasonal gear, decorations, or anything you’d rather not have out in the open.

Mechanical/Storage Room

On the far left side, the mechanical and storage room (24×20) handles all the home’s systems and gives you even more storage for things like outdoor furniture or sports equipment.

Exterior View

Lavatory (Lower Level)

A small lavatory on the lower level gives everyone a convenient restroom option nearby, so guests don’t need to trek upstairs.

After exploring every corner, I think you’ll notice how this home balances grand spaces with practical touches.

Both levels work together to offer privacy, comfort, and countless ways to enjoy indoor and outdoor living—all wrapped in classic European-inspired style.
