This elegant 4,810-square-foot French-country house plan marries European-style charm with spacious, flexible living spaces — giving you 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a 3-car courtyard garage.
With formal living spaces, cozy fireplaces (indoor & outdoor), and thoughtful layout choices, it’s ideal for families, multigenerational living, or those who love to host.
Exterior & Garage / Courtyard Layout
The plan includes a 3-car courtyard-style garage at the rear, giving both practicality and discreet parking/storage while keeping the front façade elegant and inviting.
A covered entry and generous porches (front entry and rear covered porch/grilling area) frame the house — encouraging outdoor living, welcoming guests, or simply offering shaded spots to relax.
Grand Entrance & Common Areas
Through the covered front entry you enter a foyer and grand hall under soaring 12′ ceilings — a dramatic, welcoming first impression. 3
The heart of the home is a spacious great room featuring a stone fireplace, built-ins, timber ceiling beams, and two sets of French doors opening to the covered porch — a beautiful blend of rustic warmth and refined design. 4
The kitchen is both functional and social: a prep island with eat-at bar, a large walk-in pantry, and direct access to a breakfast room. From there, you have two ways out to covered and grilling porches — perfect for entertaining or casual meals.
Bedrooms & Master Suite Comfort
The master suite provides a private retreat: with optional gas fireplace, a sitting area, direct access to the covered porch, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring a corner whirlpool tub, a glass shower with seat, and dual closets. 6
Bedrooms 2 and 3 each come with their own walk-in closets and share a full bath — convenient for children or roommates. The guest quarters (bedroom 4) include its own full bathroom and closet — providing comfort and privacy for visitors or extended family members. 7
Convenience & Utility Features
The laundry room is more than just a utility space — it includes a desk area, sink, and even a safe room — practical touches for daily life and family security. 8
Outdoor Living & Lifestyle Appeal
The covered porch, grilling porch, and outdoor fireplace make this home a great choice if you enjoy indoor-outdoor living, hosting friends, or relaxing outdoors in style. The layout supports both large gatherings and quiet family time. 9
