Exterior Curb Appeal & Porch-Forward Design
The front of the house features a distinctive L-shaped porch that wraps around part of the home — giving you a classic farmhouse vibe, a welcoming entry, and outdoor space for relaxing, chatting or greeting guests.The exterior combines mixed materials for a New American / farmhouse aesthetic — a good balance of rustic charm and modern sensibility.
Open Interior — Living, Kitchen & Flow
Entering through the French-door foyer (which also serves a study/office entry), you’re led into a vaulted family room that flows directly into the kitchen — creating an open, airy common space ideal for daily living or hosting.
The kitchen is designed around a large 4′ × 8′ island — great for meal prep, casual dining, or social cooking — and there’s a walk-in pantry behind a sliding barn door, conveniently located next to the garage entry for easy grocery drop-offs and storage. 11
Private Zones — Bedrooms & Master Suite Layout
The master suite includes its own bath (with two possible bath-layout options) and a large walk-in closet. The master also opens to the lanai/outdoor area through French doors — a nice touch for indoor-outdoor flow and private outdoor access.Additional bedrooms and bathrooms are arranged to give privacy and flexibility, which makes this plan suitable for families, guests or occasional overnight visitors.
Bonus Room & Flexibility — Room to Grow or Adapt
Upstairs, there’s an optional bonus room (≈ 421 sq ft in base version; ~523 sq ft if 3-car garage option is chosen) — a versatile space you can finish later as needed. 14
This bonus area adds flexibility: use it as a guest room, office, media room, hobby space, or extra storage — giving the plan long-term adaptability without committing to a larger footprint upfront. 15
