With both private retreats and open gathering spots, this home is tailor-made for comfort, flow, and a bit of that classic old-world charm.

The Floor Plans:
Covered Porch and Foyer
When you step up to the front entrance, you walk beneath the shelter of the covered porch.
This area feels welcoming, especially on rainy days when you want to pause for a moment before heading inside.
The entry opens right into a grand foyer where a sweeping staircase creates an immediate impression.
The foyer is wide and open, giving you sightlines into several main rooms, so it feels bright and inviting, not closed off.
To one side, there’s a coat closet, which is a practical touch for stashing jackets and shoes out of sight.
Formal Living
On your right, the formal living room stands out with its cathedral ceiling, adding a sense of volume that draws your eyes upward.
Tall windows let in plenty of light, and there’s a fireplace that anchors the space for intimate gatherings or quiet evenings.
I really like how this room feels special without being intimidating. If you enjoy hosting guests, this is just the setting for pre-dinner drinks or a cozy book club.
Formal Dining
Directly across the foyer, the formal dining room welcomes you. There’s enough space here for a long table, and the location makes serving easy since the kitchen is just through the hall.
The scale is just right for both big holiday meals and casual weeknight dinners. A butler’s pantry sits nearby, making it simple to stage dishes or set up a buffet for larger gatherings.
Study
Set just off the foyer, the study is a more private spot, perfect if you work from home or need a quiet reading nook.
Built-ins give you room for books or collectibles, and there’s a good amount of natural light.
If you need to close the door and focus, this room delivers a sense of calm, buffered from the main living areas.
Master Bedroom and Suite
The master bedroom is down a short corridor, offering privacy from the main flow of the house.
This retreat is generously sized, with space for a sitting area, and windows overlook the backyard.
The suite includes a massive walk-in closet, which makes organizing clothes a breeze, and the master bath is well-appointed with a soaking tub, spacious shower, dual vanities, and a private water closet.
If you value a true escape at the end of the day, this arrangement delivers.
Family Room
At the core of the home sits the family room, which acts as the main gathering space.
It’s open, airy, and directly connected to the kitchen, making it easy to keep conversations flowing while meals are being prepared.
There’s a fireplace along one wall and a built-in wet bar that’s perfect for making drinks or setting out snacks.
Double doors open out to the covered patio, so you have seamless access to outdoor living.
Covered Patio
The covered patio stretches across the back of the house, shaded and spacious enough for both a dining table and lounge chairs.
It’s the kind of place where you can relax on a summer afternoon or host friends for an evening barbecue.
The view of the backyard, framed by elegant rooflines and classic stonework, gives a sense of European charm that lasts through every season.
Kitchen
The kitchen is completely open to the family room for easy interaction, and it’s also set up for serious cooking.
There’s a center island that offers both prep space and seating. The layout allows for multiple cooks to work without getting in each other’s way.
You’ll find plenty of counter space, and the walk-in pantry means you won’t be running out of storage any time soon.
I appreciate the direct connection to the breakfast room, which lets you serve casual meals just steps away from where they’re prepared.
Breakfast Room
The breakfast room is tucked into a cozy alcove at the rear of the house, framed by windows that overlook the patio.
Mornings feel special in this bright corner, whether you’re grabbing coffee or enjoying a full breakfast with family.
The positioning also makes it easy to keep an eye on backyard activities while you eat.
Utility and Rear Entry
Just off the kitchen, the utility room is generously sized, with space for laundry plus a sink for hand-washing or soaking.
There’s also direct access to the double garage from here, which is super convenient for bringing in groceries or muddy boots.
A rear entry hall provides extra storage and a secondary access point to the house, keeping day-to-day clutter out of your main living areas.
Pantry
The walk-in pantry is a chef’s dream and large enough to hold bulk supplies, small appliances, and all the essentials. You can stock up without worrying about running out of space, and everything is easily within reach when you’re cooking.
Powder Bath
A small powder bath is conveniently located off the main hall, near both the kitchen and the living areas. This makes it accessible for guests without invading any of the bedrooms or private spaces.
Bedroom Two and Bath Two
Back near the front of the house, bedroom two offers flexibility. It’s ideal as a guest room, nursery, or even a second office.
There’s a closet for storage and direct access to a full bath, so guests or family members have privacy and convenience.
The location is just far enough from the main living areas to feel a bit secluded.
Bath Three
On the main floor, you’ll also find an additional bath labeled as Bath Three. This bathroom is accessible from the hallway, making it convenient for anyone coming in from the side or rear entry, especially after outdoor play or messy projects.
Rear Porch
Just off the utility area, a rear porch offers another covered outdoor space. This is great if you want to create a mudroom area or an extra spot to take off shoes before coming inside.
The porch connects directly to the yard and garage, adding everyday practicality to the floor plan.
Double Garage and Single Garage
The double garage sits at the back corner of the home, easily accessed through the utility area.
There’s plenty of space for two cars, plus extra storage for tools and bikes. On the other side of the porte-cochère, a single garage provides an additional bay for a third vehicle, hobby car, or even a workshop.
The covered connection to the house keeps you dry when unloading on rainy days.
Porte-Cochère
The porte-cochère isn’t just beautiful; it’s practical, too. You can pull in and stay protected from the weather, with easy access to the front door or the single garage.
I think this feature gives the home a truly European flair, making daily routines just a bit more gracious.
Stairs and Transition
Heading upstairs, you’ll notice the staircase, which is visible from the foyer and creates a dramatic first impression.
When you reach the top, you step onto a spacious balcony that overlooks both the foyer and the formal living area below.
This layout helps the upstairs feel connected to the rest of the home and creates an impressive sense of scale.
Balcony and Sitting Niche
The upstairs balcony is wide and welcoming, with enough space to pause and take in the views of the interior and front entry.
There’s a sitting niche tucked to one side, perfect for a small reading chair or homework desk.
The openness here really helps the upstairs feel airy and bright.
Bedroom Three (Two Rooms)
Upstairs, you’ll find two separate bedrooms both labeled as Bedroom Three. One is a bit larger, and both have ample closet space.
These rooms are ideal for kids, teens, or even as a guest suite. Each has quick access to a bathroom, and their placement offers privacy while keeping them close to the main upstairs hallway.
Bath Three
Between the two Bedroom Three rooms is a full bathroom, shared by both. There’s plenty of room for two people to get ready at once, thanks to the smart layout of the vanity and storage.
Bedroom Five
Bedroom five is just down the hall, set apart from the other upstairs bedrooms. With a private closet and close proximity to another full bathroom, it could easily serve as a guest room or even a quiet workspace.
The window placement means you’ll get light throughout the day.
Bath Four
Bath four sits at the center of the upstairs hallway, making it easy for Bedroom Five and visitors to share. There’s a full tub, a spacious vanity, and a clever use of space that keeps the traffic flowing smoothly on busy mornings.
Deck
One of the most impressive features upstairs is the deck, which stretches across the rear and provides a great view of the backyard below.
This is the perfect spot for a cup of coffee at sunrise or just relaxing with friends on a quiet evening.
I like the way this outdoor space feels like an extension of the upstairs living area, not just an afterthought.
Bonus Room
At the far end of the upper level is a large bonus room. Right now it’s open and flexible, ready to become anything you need: media room, home gym, playroom, or even a studio.
There’s a storage closet attached, so clutter never needs to spill into your main living areas.
Storage and Attic Space
The upper level also includes easy access to attic storage on both sides of the home. This makes it simple to tuck away holiday decorations, out-of-season clothes, or anything else that needs a home but doesn’t belong on display.
From the grand staircase and open balcony to the cozy nooks and carefully placed windows, every part of this home feels connected, yet private.
You can entertain a crowd on the main floor, enjoy a quiet morning on the upstairs deck, or create your dream bonus room.
I think the layout supports both everyday living and those special moments you want to remember.
