This design blends warm craftsman style with smart flexibility. The home’s base footprint offers ~3,237 sq ft with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a 3-car courtyard-entry garage, and vaulted gathering spaces.
If you want more space later, the optional second floor adds guest and media areas with overlook views. 1
Exterior & First Impressions
The covered entry and centered gable give strong curb appeal. You’ll notice mixed materials—wood, board-and-batten, stone or brick accents—that make the façade rich without excess. The courtyard garage design keeps the entry side elegant. 2
Heart of the Home: Open & Vaulted
A vaulted family room anchors the layout, open to kitchen and breakfast areas. The kitchen includes a large walk-in pantry and an island that seats about five—friendly for both parties and daily life. 3
Indoor–Outdoor Flow
From the family room, dual French doors open to a vaulted porch. The indoor and outdoor spaces share a two-sided fireplace, so the ambiance extends beyond walls. 4
Private Wing: Master Suite & Access
The owner’s suite sits in a quiet corner. It features a tray ceiling, direct rear-porch access, dual vanities, a separate tub and shower, and a generous walk-in closet. Bonus: the closet links to the laundry room, simplifying chores. 5
Secondary Bedrooms & Office
Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a Jack-and-Jill bath. A fourth bedroom doubles as an office or guest room. The home also gives an option for finishing bonus/loft space above. 6
Optional Second Floor / Bonus Space
The second-level option includes a media room and a guest room overlooking the family area. For future expansion, there’s a bonus room over the garage. 7

Estimated U.S. Build Cost (USD)
For a home of this level of detail and scale, typical U.S. build costs range from **$175 to $260 per sq ft** depending on region, finishes, and site.
Using that, your cost estimate lands around **$567,000 to $842,000 USD** (not including land, utilities, or site development) for full build-out. The optional second floor adds extra cost if you choose to finish it later.
Why This Design Stands Out
- Strong curb appeal with craftsman character and clean lines.
- Open, vaulted common areas that feel generous but connected.
- Thoughtful flow: master connects to laundry, pantry access, separation of wings.
- Bonus space built into the plan, so you can scale later without reworking the core.
- Courtyard garage preserves front aesthetics while delivering functionality.
