A home like this doesn’t just make an impression—it draws you in with a sense of confidence and quiet grandeur that invites you to explore every corner.
The European, French Country-inspired exterior opens to over 6,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space across two levels.
With 4 bedrooms, flexible work and play areas, and an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living, this house fits everything from big family gatherings to peaceful evenings by the fire.
Let’s walk through and see how each space comes together.

The Floor Plans:
Foyer
As you step onto the front porch, you’ll notice how the covered entry feels welcoming without being overpowering.
Inside, the foyer opens up with its soaring ceiling, instantly creating a sense of openness that sets the mood for the rest of the house.
The staircase draws your eye upward and hints at the vertical drama of the layout.
Wide entryways branch off to both the study and the fitness room, and you get an early peek at the great room straight ahead, framed by the balcony above.
Fitness Room
Just off the foyer to the left, the fitness room offers a practical spot for morning workouts or yoga sessions.
Forget about driving to the gym—this space is close to the main living areas but still separated enough for focus.
If you’re jumping on the treadmill or rolling out a mat, the window brings in natural light.
I think this makes a big difference when you’re getting motivated to exercise.
Study
To the right of the foyer, the study gives you a dedicated place for work or reading.
Its location works well: close enough to the entry for deliveries or meetings, but with doors to help minimize distractions.
There’s enough space for a substantial desk, bookshelves, and maybe a couple of chairs for late-afternoon brainstorming sessions or relaxed chats.
Great Room
Moving forward from the foyer, you enter the great room. The double-height ceiling and dramatic stone fireplace create an immediate wow factor.
The lofted balcony above adds a sense of grandeur. Sunlight pours in through wide doors and windows, making the whole area feel inviting all day.
This is the main gathering space, perfect for hosting friends, enjoying a movie, or just taking in the architecture.
I love how the open connection to the dining and kitchen areas makes daily life easy and entertaining even easier.
Kitchen
Step into the kitchen and you’ll see why this space is both welcoming and functional.
The central island is generous, making it easy to imagine friends gathering for coffee or kids finishing homework while dinner cooks.
Sage green cabinetry, speckled granite, and a patterned tile backsplash add French Country character. The pass-through arch to the great room keeps conversations going between spaces.
You’ll find plenty of counter space, a built-in wine fridge, and a dedicated bar area—everything needed for simple meals or big celebrations.
Pantry
Just off the kitchen is a walk-in pantry. I’m always happy when a home includes a pantry that feels more like a small room than just a closet.
There’s space for bulk groceries, small appliances, and even an extra prep area if needed.
This keeps the kitchen organized and ready for guests at a moment’s notice.
Dining Room
Directly connected to the kitchen, the dining room manages to feel both formal and comfortable.
Large windows flood the space with natural light during the day, and a statement chandelier sets the mood at night.
With a round table for eight and upholstered chairs, you’ll want to linger over meals—from holiday dinners to Sunday brunches.
The backyard views add even more enjoyment, making every meal feel special.
Laundry Room
Located near the kitchen, the laundry room is far from an afterthought. It’s spacious, with plenty of counter space for folding, built-in storage, and a bench for backpacks or muddy boots.
I like how there’s a dedicated spot for hanging clothes, which makes laundry day feel much more manageable.
The room connects directly to the garage hallway, so you can drop off dirty gear before heading inside.
Hunting Room
Next to the laundry, you’ll find a unique feature: a hunting room with a cedar closet.
This space is perfect for outdoor gear, seasonal storage, or even as a small mudroom.
The bench and closet combination provides a spot for everything, including boots, jackets, or sports equipment.
You don’t see this kind of specialized storage in every home, and I think it adds real value for anyone with an active lifestyle.
3-Car Garage
The attached 3-car garage offers plenty of room for vehicles, bikes, or even a workshop area.
With direct access into the laundry hallway, you can keep busy family routines organized and avoid tracking mud through the main living spaces.
There’s also space along the walls for shelves or cabinets if you want extra storage.
Grilling Porch / Outdoor Living
At the back of the house, step out onto the grilling porch. This covered outdoor living area highlights the home’s French Country style, with timber columns and a wood-burning fireplace that lets you enjoy gatherings outside for more of the year.
There’s a built-in outdoor kitchen and refrigerator, so you can grab supplies without heading back inside.
With plenty of space and shelter from the weather, this porch is ideal for year-round entertaining or relaxing evenings by the fire.
8′ Covered Porch
Stretching along the back of the great room, the 8’ covered porch offers a quieter spot for morning coffee or reading outdoors.
The smooth transition between inside and outside is obvious here. You can step right out from the living area and enjoy the view, whether you’re watching kids play or simply enjoying the peace.
Master Suite
On the main level, set apart for privacy, is the master suite. When you walk in, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a private wing, away from the bustle of daily life.
The bedroom is spacious, with room for a sitting area near the windows. The ensuite bath features a freestanding tub, a spacious shower, and double vanities, all designed for comfort.
There’s a walk-in closet big enough for serious wardrobes and a separate water closet for extra privacy.
I appreciate the details here, like the built-in seat in the shower and the smart placement of fixtures that make daily routines feel luxurious.
Master Bath
The master bath is all about relaxation. There’s a soaking tub for long baths, a walk-in shower with a built-in bench, and dual vanities so you won’t be bumping elbows during the morning rush.
The separate toilet area gives even more privacy. A large window brings in natural light while keeping things private, and the finishes continue the warm, rustic elegance found throughout the home.
Powder Bath
Near the foyer, the powder bath is perfectly placed for guests. It’s out of the way but still easy to access from the main living and entertaining areas.
Stylish finishes give it both practicality and a touch of refinement.
Upstairs Landing and Theater Balcony
When you climb the stairs, you reach a landing that opens to the rooms below on both sides, creating a sense of drama and openness.
The upstairs hallway connects bedrooms and also serves as a balcony overlooking the great room, so you always feel connected to downstairs activities.
The theater balcony area is a great spot for watching the action below or setting up a homework zone away from the busier parts of the house.
Bedroom 2
At the front of the upper level, Bedroom 2 has direct access to the balcony and its own ensuite bath.
It’s generously sized, and the view over the front of the property is a nice bonus.
This space works well as a guest room or a teenager’s retreat, with plenty of room for both rest and study.
Bedroom 3
Across the landing, Bedroom 3 offers similar square footage and also opens onto the front balcony.
The attached bath includes a private water closet and double sinks, making mornings run smoother.
Ample closet space and bright windows complete the room.
Bedroom 4
In the rear corner of the upper level, Bedroom 4 is set apart from the others, which is great for visiting family or an older child wanting more privacy.
With its ensuite bath and a large walk-in closet, it feels almost like a mini-suite.
Windows offer views of the backyard and bring in lots of natural light.
Balcony
The front balcony off Bedrooms 2 and 3 is a standout feature. It’s wide and covered, giving you outdoor space that’s both usable and attractive.
You can slip outside for fresh air in the morning or watch the sunset in the evening.
This balcony connects the upstairs bedrooms and adds another layer to the home’s social spaces.
TV Room
To the right of the upper landing, the TV room is spacious and perfect for movie nights, gaming, or just hanging out.
There’s a built-in bar with a refrigerator and a half bath nearby, so snacks and drinks are always close.
I think this is an ideal spot for older kids or anyone wanting a place to gather without heading downstairs.
Upstairs Bath
Near Bedroom 3 and the TV room, there’s a full bath with double sinks and a separate water closet. The layout is practical for busy mornings and gives convenient access from the entertainment area.
Storage
Just off the TV room is a sizable storage room, perfect for seasonal items, games, or extra bedding. I always appreciate extra storage, and this location makes it easy to keep things organized and accessible.
Attic Storage
Behind the TV room, attic storage is available through a small hallway. This spot gives you even more flexibility for holiday decorations, luggage, or family keepsakes.
You’ll have plenty of space for things you want to keep but don’t use every day.
Upstairs Half Bath
Next to the TV room bar area, a dedicated half bath adds convenience. There’s no need to cross the house during movie night or game day, and this extra bathroom makes life easier for everyone.
This home feels both expansive and connected, with each space designed to fit real everyday living.
You’ll find places to linger over dinner, unwind by the fire, work from home, or host a weekend get-together.
Every room has a purpose, and the layout offers the right balance between room to spread out and spots to come together.
There are even a few surprises as you move from one area to the next, which I think keeps things interesting for anyone living here.
