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
