Exterior Design
This is a **one-story country house** designed to maximize simplicity and comfort within **1,477 heated sq ft**.
The exterior uses **2×4 stick framing**, with an optional upgrade to **2×6** if you want more insulation or structural robustness.
The roof’s primary pitch is **4:12**, giving a moderate, clean profile.
Dimensions: the plan is **45 ft wide × 38 ft 10 in deep**, with a maximum ridge height of **20 ft 9 in**.
Two porches are included: a **front porch of 270 sq ft** and a **rear porch of 25 sq ft**.
Interior Layout
Everything is on one level — there is no second story; all **1,477 sq ft** is on the main floor.
Ceiling height is **9 ft** throughout, giving a comfortable, open feeling without extreme vertical spans.
The front porch opens directly into the **family room**, which flows seamlessly into the **eat-in kitchen**.
A clever detail: **pocket doors** conceal a hallway that leads to a walk-in pantry and a combined **mud / laundry room**.
The plan clusters bedrooms and service areas together for efficiency in plumbing, wiring, and circulation.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

Large front windows and the front porch help visually extend space outward.
Kitchen Features

The adjacency to the mud / laundry / pantry area via the pocket-door hall is a smart functional layout.
Outdoor Living (porch, deck, patio, etc.)
