This elegant European-style design offers around 2,641 square feet of gracious living space, balanced with practical layout choices — four bedrooms, two and a half baths, a covered front porch, and an optional bonus loft above the garage that provides extra flexibility.

It’s a home built to combine timeless exterior charm with family-ready functionality.

Quick specs & design highlights

  • Finished living area: 2,641 sq ft. 1
  • Bedrooms: 4 standard (with potential bonus loft expansion upstairs above garage) 2
  • Bathrooms: 2 full + 1 half bath. 3
  • Stories: Single-story main; bonus/loft above garage (≈ 355 sq ft) for future flexibility. 4
  • Garage: 2-car side-entry with storage room — practical for vehicles and gear. 5
  • Footprint: Width 76′-4″ × Depth 67′-4″ — spacious enough for good flow and yard space. 6


Bonus room

Exterior & curb appeal

The exterior blends European-inspired touches with farmhouse warmth: board-and-batten gables, stone- or brick-accented basework, and graceful proportions give the home a timeless, elegant presence.

A covered front porch framed with sturdy beams and attractive pillars adds a welcoming, human-scale touch — a perfect balance of refinement and approachability. 7

Because the garage is side-loaded, the front façade retains symmetry and curb appeal without a dominating garage door — offering a curb view that feels composed, friendly, and homey rather than utilitarian.

Porch & entry — inviting arrival & outdoor charm

The front covered porch leads into a spacious foyer — a lovely threshold between outdoors and inside. It offers a shaded, sheltered space for greeting guests, relaxing with a morning beverage, or simply enjoying the view of the front yard.

This porch gives the home instant character: it softens the exterior lines and creates a sense of welcome that’s both stylish and down-to-earth — ideal for a family setting or relaxed lifestyle.

Interior layout — flow & everyday living

Through the front door, you arrive into a generous foyer (with lofty 11-foot ceiling height) that opens directly toward the great room and living spaces. To one side, a home office behind French doors offers a quiet, private nook — perfect for work, study, or reading.

The great room anchors the heart of the home: with comfortable 10-foot ceilings, a cozy fireplace, built-ins, and direct access to the rear covered porch. It’s a space designed for gathering — evenings with family, guest visits, or relaxed weekends. 10

Kitchen, dining & pantry — functional heart of the home

The kitchen sits adjacent to the great room and dining area in an open-concept arrangement that encourages connection while cooking and entertaining.

A central island with breakfast bar offers casual seating and workspace, while generous counters and cabinet storage make meal prep and daily use efficient. 11

Near the kitchen you’ll find a large walk-in pantry — a thoughtful detail ensuring bulk goods, small appliances, and pantry staples remain out of sight, keeping the kitchen tidy and functional. 12

The dining room sits close by, with ample windows to let in daylight — a bright, inviting area for meals, family dinners, or relaxed weekend brunches. 13

Owner’s suite — a private retreat

The master suite occupies its own wing for privacy, offering a generously sized bedroom with warm light and pleasant views.

The ensuite bathroom includes dual vanities, a separate tub and shower, and a water closet for privacy. A well-sized walk-in closet ensures good storage for clothing and linens.

Secondary bedrooms & shared bath layout

On the opposite side of the house, three secondary bedrooms are grouped together — each with ample closet space and double-window views.

They share a centrally located bathroom with dual lavatories and a tub/shower combo, as well as a hallway linen closet for convenience. 15

This wing works well for children, guests, or even a home office conversion. The shared bath and closets keep things efficient without compromising comfort.

Bonus loft above garage — flexibility for future use

Above the garage sits an optional loft/bonus space (~355 sq ft). This space could become a guest suite, hobby room, home office, media room, or craft studio.

It gives the home flexibility to grow or adapt over time without disrupting the main-floor layout. 17

Garage, mudroom & utility areas

The side-entry two-car garage keeps driveways and vehicles out of direct view from the front — preserving curb appeal. Adjacent to the garage is a practical storage room, ideal for tools, seasonal items, or household extras.

Inside, a utility/laundry room includes a sink, counter space, and a drop-off zone with built-in lockers or benches — perfect for organizing coats, shoes, backpacks, or daily clutter before entering the main home. This thoughtful transition zone helps keep living areas clean and organized. 19

Storage & built-ins — practical for everyday living

Storage is woven throughout the plan: from linen closets and walk-in master closet to pantry storage, built-ins by the great room, and the garage storage room. These features give practical bite to the elegance, ensuring the home remains functional and uncluttered even with a full household. 20

Why this design works — lifestyle, flexibility & comfort

  • Balanced exterior styling gives timeless European-farmhouse curb appeal without sacrificing modern tastes.
  • Open living spaces flow naturally for everyday life and entertaining, while private sleeping wings offer quiet and privacy.
  • A functional kitchen/dining/great room core supports family life and hosting seamlessly.
  • Optional loft space above garage gives future flexibility — guest suite, studio, office, or playroom as needed.
  • Thoughtful storage and practical zones (mudroom, utility, pantry) keep daily routines efficient and clean.
  • Side-entry garage and covered porch preserve aesthetic charm while offering practicality and convenience.
