Exterior & Curb Appeal — Craftsman Character with Functional Layout
The exterior design reflects a classic Craftsman aesthetic: balanced proportions, wide footprint, and a welcoming front porch — ideal for curb appeal and a warm, homey presence.
The side-entry 3-car garage design helps keep the front façade clean and home-focused, rather than dominated by garage doors — which perks up the overall curb-side impression while providing ample parking/storage.
A generous rear porch/patio area adds outdoor living space without expanding heated interior square footage — great for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying outdoor meals.
Interior Layout — Open, Practical & Family-Ready
Inside, the home is laid out for comfortable everyday living and entertaining. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas create a natural flow — ideal for family time, socializing, and day-to-day household life.
The plan uses a split-bedroom layout: bedrooms are arranged in a way that helps separate private and social zones, giving privacy to master or guest rooms while keeping living spaces accessible and open.
Convenient features like a mudroom (near garage entry), main-floor laundry, and well-placed storage make the home functional and user-friendly for busy households.
Bedrooms & Private Zones — Balanced for Family or Guests
Four bedrooms and four full bathrooms + a half bath give flexibility — whether you have a family, frequent guests, or need extra rooms for office / hobbies.
Having multiple full baths reduces morning/bedtime traffic and improves comfort for multiple occupants or visiting guests.
The layout’s separation between sleeping zones and living/social areas helps maintain privacy without sacrificing openness.
Bonus Room & Expansion Flexibility
This plan offers an optional bonus space (≈ 573 sq ft) — ideal for future expansion, extra storage, hobby room, media room, or a guest suite depending on your needs.
Combined with the large footprint, big porches, and ample garage, this home gives you flexibility to adapt over time — whether you need more storage, work-from-home space, or a dedicated entertainment area.
