Exterior & First Impressions
The exterior shows classic European-ranch character: dignified arches, a striking cupola, and a metal accent roof — blending elegance with rustic charm.
With overall dimensions of **≈ 84′-3″ wide × 76′ deep** (max ridge height ~ 33′), the footprint is sizable yet balanced — suitable for a medium-to-large sloped lot or hillside setting. 3
An attached **3-car side-entry garage** (≈ 872 sq ft) gives ample parking/storage without overshadowing the facade.
Open Core & Everyday Flow
Entry leads into a foyer flowing into a spacious **great room** (coffered ceiling ~ 13′-6″), connecting to dining and kitchen zones — creating a generous open core. 5
The kitchen includes a central island with cooktop, and is complemented by a butler-style walk-in pantry — practical for cooking and entertaining. 6
Off the kitchen is a **screened porch** with cathedral ceiling and fireplace — ideal for outdoor-living comfort and smooth indoor-outdoor transitions. 7

Why This Plan Sticks With You
This European-ranch plan is especially appealing if your building site slopes: the walkout lower level turns a challenge into opportunity — giving extra living/utility space without expanding the main footprint. The layout blends everyday livability (open kitchen/great room, pantry, screened porch) with comfort (master suite, multiple baths) and flexibility (bonus room, extra basement zones).
If you want a home that feels both elegant and practical — designed for natural terrain and comfort — this plan offers a strong balance.
