If you’ve ever looked at a house and thought, “Wow… that one just feels right,” chances are it had great proportions. This transitional design leans hard into that feel-good balance with a perfectly symmetrical front elevation, a warm mix of materials, and a layout that’s both elegant and extremely livable.
Inside, you’re getting roughly 4,032 square feet of heated living space on one main level, plus an optional bonus expansion upstairs. Translation: you can enjoy one-level living now, and still have a “future-proof” space ready for later without committing to it on day one.
Exterior and Curb Appeal
The first impression here is strong—clean symmetry, a confident roofline, and a transitional blend that feels timeless instead of trendy. Picture brick paired with warm wood tones and a touch of metal for contrast. It’s polished, but not stiff.
And because the garage is side-entry, the front of the home stays classy and “estate-like” rather than turning into a parking-lot vibe. Your curb appeal gets to be the star, not the garage doors.
Porches and Outdoor Living
This home doesn’t treat outdoor space like an afterthought. The covered porch areas are generous enough to actually use, not just wave at while you bring in groceries.
You’ll have a 275 sq ft front porch for that welcoming, sit-and-stay-a-while look, and a 761 sq ft rear porch that’s basically begging for weekend cookouts, outdoor lounging, and those “we should do this more often” evenings.
Total covered porch space: 1,036 sq ft. That’s a serious lifestyle upgrade.
First Impression Inside
Step through the front entry and you’re greeted by a vaulted, beamed foyer that immediately makes the home feel upscale. It’s the kind of entry that says, “Yes, this is the good house,” without having to shout.
Off to the right, French doors open to a private home office with a boxed beam ceiling (rising roughly from 10′ to 11′). It’s positioned to enjoy front views, which is perfect if you want natural light while you work—without putting your desk in the middle of the living room like a “temporary” setup that becomes permanent.
Main Living Core
The center of the home is all about connection. A family room with a fireplace anchors the main living area and opens to the kitchen and dining space. This is the kind of open layout that makes everyday life easier—people can hang out, snack, and talk without everyone being in separate rooms like it’s a group project.
The kitchen features a large island set at an angle, which is a small detail that makes a big difference. Angled islands tend to create better flow and more natural gathering space, especially when the house is full of family or guests.
Even better: the family room, kitchen, and dining area all connect to the big back porch, so indoor-outdoor entertaining feels effortless. Doors open, the party expands, and suddenly you look like a hosting genius.
Kid-Friendly Wing with Game Room
One of the smartest parts of this layout is how it gives the “kid zone” its own territory. The bedrooms are clustered on the left side of the home along with a vaulted game room, creating a dedicated wing that feels separate from the main suite.
This setup is great for real life: kids can play, hang out, or watch a movie without taking over the main living area. And parents can still enjoy peace and quiet on the opposite side—because everyone deserves a little sanity.
Primary Suite Retreat
The primary suite occupies the right side of the home, and it’s designed like a true retreat. It’s vaulted for extra airiness, includes its own fireplace (yes, really), and connects to outdoor living so you can slip outside without walking through the whole house.
One of the most practical luxury touches: the suite’s large walk-in closet connects directly to the laundry room. That means laundry day becomes less of a chore and more of a smooth routine—because hauling baskets across the house is nobody’s dream.
Bonus Room Expansion
Need room to grow? You’ve got it. Over the garage is a 573 sq ft bonus space that can be finished when you’re ready. This is ideal for a future media room, game room overflow, a guest suite, teen hangout, hobby studio, or that home gym you keep promising yourself you’ll use.
And because it’s above the garage, it feels separate—so it can be loud without disrupting the whole house. (A polite way of saying: someone can play video games at high volume while you still enjoy a quiet evening.)
Storage, Garage, and Everyday Practicality
The attached garage is a big win: 3 cars, side-entry, and a roomy 845 sq ft footprint. That’s enough space for vehicles plus the “collection” of tools, bikes, holiday decorations, and mystery bins we all pretend we’ll organize later.
And with 10′ ceilings on the main floor, the home feels open and upscale in all the right places—without relying on wasted square footage.

Why This Layout Works
This design is basically a masterclass in “separate-but-together.” You get a strong central living core for connection, a dedicated kids’ wing with a game room for everyday chaos control, and a private primary suite that feels like a resort upgrade.
Add in the huge rear porch, the flexible bonus expansion, and the thoughtful details like laundry access from the closet, and you’ve got a home that’s not just pretty—it’s built for real life.
Estimated U.S. Build Cost
For a home of this size and detail level, a realistic U.S. build-cost range is often around $220 to $380 per square foot of heated living area, depending on your region, finishes, site work, and contractor pricing.
Using 4,032 sq ft, that suggests an estimated build cost of approximately $887,000 to $1,532,000 USD for the main heated space. This estimate typically excludes land, permits, utility connections, major site prep, and high-end upgrades. Covered porches and garage construction can also affect totals depending on how your builder prices non-heated areas.
