Spectacular Shingle Style (Floor Plan)

There’s something timeless about a home that welcomes you with classic Craftsman charm and a touch of European elegance.

The wide front porch and gabled roof give you an inviting first impression, hinting at the warmth inside.

This isn’t just another big house. The layout is carefully planned, spread over two expansive levels where every room feels distinct yet connected.

Let’s take a closer look at how each area flows into the next, from the grand foyer to the quiet corners meant for everyday living.

Specifications:

• 6,060 Heated S.F.
• 4 Beds
• 4.5 Baths
• 2 Stories
• 4 Cars

The Floor Plans:

Foyer / Rotunda

Right from the entrance, you’ll find a round, open foyer that immediately creates a welcoming atmosphere.

Wood floors give the space warmth, and the circular table with fresh blooms makes the entry feel both grand and approachable.

Look up and you’ll see iron railings above, part of the upstairs balcony, highlighting the home’s multi-level design.

This space isn’t just for passing through. You might stop here to take in the view into the rest of the home or to greet guests with ease.

Den

Just off the foyer, the den offers a private spot for a home office, study, or cozy library.

I like that the room is set slightly apart, with storage close by. This setup makes it easy to keep clutter out of sight.

Natural light fills the room through tall windows, and being near the entry lets you keep work life separate from everything else.

Dining Room

Across from the den, the formal dining room is ready for everything from holiday dinners to casual get-togethers.

The barrel vault ceiling overhead adds drama without overwhelming the space. The dining room flows straight into a butler’s pantry, which makes serving and clearing meals simple.

I think placing the pantry between the kitchen and dining area is clever, since it creates a natural transition for entertaining.

Kitchen

Heading toward the kitchen, you’ll see it opens up in a way that feels both generous and inviting.

The curved island gives plenty of space to prep meals or chat with friends. Warm wood cabinetry and granite countertops add a sense of richness, while the arched window brings in sunlight and a view of greenery.

If you enjoy cooking, you’ll appreciate the layout. There’s enough room for multiple cooks, and the flow to the breakfast nook keeps things social.

Nook

Right next to the kitchen, the nook is a relaxed spot for morning coffee or informal meals.

Large windows overlook the porch and yard, creating a connection to the outdoors. I can imagine this area becoming the go-to spot for quick breakfasts, homework sessions, or weekend brunches.

It’s close enough to the kitchen for convenience, but with enough room to spread out.

Family Room

A few steps away, the family room manages to be both open and cozy. The stone fireplace is the focal point, anchoring the seating area.

Built-in shelves line the walls, perfect for books, family photos, or games. The room’s shape encourages conversation, and the view out to the porch makes it just as inviting for quiet evenings as for lively gatherings.

Living Room

Next to the family room, the living room feels a bit more formal but is just as comfortable.

There’s plenty of seating, so you can host friends or curl up by the fire with a good book.

Features like patterned upholstery and an area rug give the space personality, while large windows keep it bright.

I think this setup works well for anyone wanting a defined entertaining area that still feels open.

Guest Suite

Beyond the central rotunda, the guest suite is set apart for privacy. With its own bath and direct access to the porch and spa, it’s great for overnight visitors or long-term guests.

This room is generously sized and thoughtfully placed, so guests feel truly welcome. I like that it’s positioned far from the family bedrooms, providing both comfort and quiet.

Spa

Connected to the guest suite is a spa area. If you want a calming soak or a private place to unwind, this retreat offers something special.

The spa opens to the porch as well, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor feel. I like that it’s close to the guest quarters for convenience, yet it still feels like its own getaway within the house.

Laundry / Linen / Storage

Down the hall from the spa, you’ll find the practical side of the home: a laundry room, linen closet, and extra storage.

These features might not always be noticed, but they make daily life run smoothly. With everything nearby, you don’t have to carry baskets of towels up and down the stairs.

Powder Bath

Near the main living spaces, the powder bath is placed for easy access but is far enough from the kitchen and dining areas to offer privacy.

It’s perfect for guests or quick stops throughout the day. Its central position means a bathroom is always nearby.

Staircases

There are two separate staircases connecting the main and upper floors—one near the rotunda, and another close to the nook and garage.

I like this dual arrangement because it gives you a choice. You can head upstairs from the formal area or take a quieter route near the family spaces.

Both staircases are wide and comfortable, making it easy to move between floors.

Garage / Porte Cochere

On the far side of the main level, the garage is spacious enough for two large vehicles, with extra room for storage or a workshop.

The porte cochere offers a sheltered place to unload groceries or welcome guests during bad weather.

Direct access from the garage into the house means you’re always close to the kitchen or family room, making daily errands simpler.

Porch

The porch wraps around the back and side of the home, blending indoor comfort with outdoor living.

There’s space for rocking chairs, potted plants, or even a porch swing. I can see this area being used year-round, whether you’re enjoying sweet tea on a sunny afternoon or gathering around a heater on a chilly evening.

French doors from several rooms open directly onto the porch, so it’s always easy to step outside.

Upstairs Gallery

Let’s go upstairs. The staircase leads to a wide gallery hall that overlooks the foyer and rotunda below.

This area shows off the home’s scale and ties the two levels together. Niches and iron railings add architectural interest, and the hallway is wide enough to never feel cramped.

Bedroom 4

The first room you’ll find upstairs is bedroom four. It’s well-proportioned, with a large window and easy access to a full bathroom just outside the door.

This space would be perfect for an older child, a teen who wants more privacy, or even as a second guest room.

I like that there’s a linen closet nearby for extra convenience.

Bedroom 3

Next along the gallery, bedroom three has its own appeal. The closet is generous, and the window looks out onto the porch below.

With the bathroom just across the hall, sharing between these two bedrooms is simple. I appreciate that both rooms feel private but are still close enough for parents to check in.

Master Suite

Further down the hall, the master suite sits in a prime corner of the upper level, offering extra privacy and light.

Double doors open to a spacious bedroom with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, adding a sense of quiet luxury.

The master bath is a retreat, with a soaking tub set in a curved alcove, a separate shower under another barrel vault, and dual vanities.

There’s even a dedicated spa room that opens to a private deck. I think this suite stands out because it’s set apart from the other bedrooms, making it feel like a true getaway.

Deck

Outside the master suite, a private deck gives you space for a couple of chairs and a small table—a peaceful spot above the yard. You can enjoy morning sun or relax in the evening, all without leaving your bedroom area.

Media Room

At the far end of the upper floor, the media room offers a special place to unwind.

Built-in storage and a dedicated media center make this an ideal spot for movie nights, gaming, or watching the big game.

Sound doesn’t travel easily to the bedrooms, so you can enjoy a late-night film without disturbing anyone.

I like that this room is set apart from the more formal spaces—it really feels like a treat for the family.

Storage / Linen Closets

Throughout the upper level, you’ll find extra storage and linen closets. Details like these make it easy to stay organized.

With storage between the bedrooms and media room, you always have a place for extra blankets, toys, or seasonal decorations.

Upstairs Gallery Overlooks

As you walk back along the gallery, you can look down into the rotunda and foyer.

The view feels open and airy, connecting the two floors and letting natural light pour in.

This design keeps the upstairs from feeling closed off and helps the whole home feel more unified.

You can see how every room, hallway, and staircase has a purpose in this Craftsman-European home.

From the grand entry to the private nooks, every space feels intentional. I think it’s the kind of place where you can imagine both busy mornings and relaxed weekends, with plenty of room to grow and adapt as your needs change.

As you step out onto the porch or settle into the media room, you realize this house isn’t just about 6,060 square feet—it’s about living well, every day.
