If your idea of “home sweet home” includes vaulted beams, a porch that practically begs for a hammock, and enough room that your kids stop asking “who gets the upstairs?”, then this one’s for you.

This single-level mountain-style Craftsman spans approximately 4,405 sq ft, includes 4 bedrooms, at least 4.5 baths, a side-entry 3-car garage, and a truly generous outdoor living porch that redefines “just stepping outside”.

Exterior Charm That Says “Stay Awhile”

Picture board-and-batten siding or stone base, exposed rafter tails, and timber accents under gable roofs that would feel at home in a resort but very much belong with you.

The wrap or large outdoor living porch extends your space—and invites you to linger, weather permitting (and even when it’s less than perfect weather, let’s be real).

Interior Flow Built for Life & Guests

Step inside to a vaulted and beamed great room that makes an immediate statement—warm, open, and anchored by a fireplace.

It’s the kind of room where you’ll have one foot in “relaxation mode” and the other in “I’m still sane because people can gather here.”

The kitchen is built to serve: a large island with seating for four, open to the casual dining area and great room—so cooking dinner and keeping company happen at the same time.

A roomy walk-in pantry and drop zone from the garage make daily life smoother (less “Where did I put the mail?” moments).

Bedrooms with Purpose & Privacy

The master suite sits tucked away for peace, featuring a beamed tray ceiling, windows to the back porch, dual walk-in closets, and direct access to the laundry room (yes, the “I’ll just drop it here” moment is real).

The remaining bedrooms are grouped on the other side—owner’s wing and guest/kids wing feel clearly separated for balance.

Outdoor Living That Actually Lives Up to the Hype

That porch? It’s not just a roof over your head. It’s your morning coffee zone, your evening unwind space, maybe your summer movie night spot.

With its oversized footprint and seamless connection to the great room, it becomes a true extension of your home—not just a “maybe someday we’ll use it” area.

Quick Specs

Feature Detail
Heated Living Area ~4,405 sq ft
Bedrooms 4
Bathrooms 4.5+ (main level)
Stories 1 (one-level living)
Garage 3-car, side entry
Porch / Outdoor Living Large covered porch adjacent to great room
Special Features Vaulted & beamed great room, walk-in pantry, drop zone, master-to-laundry access

Everyday Wins

  • One-level living means no “Which floor is this again?” after midnight snack runs.
  • Open family zone keeps you connected, garage-entry drop zone helps you stay sane.
  • Extra-deep outdoor living porch means you’re actually going to use it—no regrets.
  • Separate wings for beds mean the master stays peaceful when the other side turns into “kids + friends + chaos”.

Estimated U.S. Build Cost (USD)

For a home of this size and style—with upscale finishes and mountain-craftsman detailing—expect a build cost around **$200–$300 per sq ft**.

That brackets your approximate construction cost at **$880,000–$1,320,000 USD**, depending on your region, land/site conditions, finish level, and how fancy your porch furniture ends up being. (Land, permitting, and site work extra.)

Why This Plan Stands Out

It’s rare to find a one-story home this expansive, with both luxury and practicality baked in.

It invites guests, tolerates gear, celebrates nature—without compromising comfort. Whether you’re entertaining, raising family, or just craving a stylish base for your mountain-lifestyle dreams, this Craftsman design nails the balance of ambition and ease!
