Exterior & Curb Appeal — “Modern Gothic Farmhouse” Style
This plan embraces a bold, modern-Gothic farmhouse aesthetic: a dramatic roof pitch (steep roof), vertical lines, and a broad wrap-around porch that gives strong street presence and farmhouse charm.
The wrap-around porch — front and along the sides — invites outdoor living, socializing, and cozy evenings outside. It gives a rural / almost storybook farmhouse feel while keeping finishes modern and clean.
With the side-entry 3-car garage, the front façade remains welcoming and uncluttered — making this home look elegant from the street despite its size.
Indoor Living — Spacious, Open, Functional Layout
At the heart of the home is a gracious great room that opens through an accordion sliding door onto a large rear porch — perfect for indoor-outdoor flow, entertaining, or relaxed family living.
The kitchen flows into a light-filled keeping room and features a large island with seating for five — ideal for casual meals, gatherings, or family breakfasts. There’s also a butler’s pantry and adjacent wine-room, with direct access to a formal dining room — blending practicality with elegance.
This open and connected layout supports modern living: hosting guests, family dinners, or daily routines — all while keeping a seamless flow between cooking, dining, and relaxing zones.
Master Suite & First-Floor Comfort
Tucked privately toward the rear of the main level, the master suite offers a cathedral ceiling for a roomy, airy feel.
Doors from the master open directly to the rear porch — giving you private access to outdoor living and a peaceful retreat.
The master ensuite is well-appointed: freestanding tub, oversized shower, dual closets — both closets connect directly to the laundry room, making everyday living and chores much more convenient.
Additional Rooms — Flexibility, Guests & Family Needs
On the main level there is also a guest bedroom with a full bath — great for long-stay guests or multi-generational living without sacrificing privacy.
Upstairs, you’ll find two more spacious bedroom suites flanking a large game/rec room — a perfect setup for kids, teens, guests, or home office / hobby spaces.
This layout gives a nice balance: shared spaces downstairs for family and entertaining; private or semi-private zones upstairs for rest, work, or hobbies.
Outdoor Living, Entertaining & Porch Lifestyle
One of the standout features is the rear porch area with a dedicated grilling/outdoor kitchen zone and fireplace — excellent for barbecues, outdoor meals, or relaxed evenings under the sky.
The large wrap-around front porch adds a classic farmhouse vibe: perfect for morning coffee, socializing with neighbors, or just enjoying fresh air around the house.
With 1,822 sq ft combined porch space (front, sides, back), this plan truly leans into indoor-outdoor living — making it ideal for warm climates or homeowners who enjoy outdoor lifestyle.
