This elegant one-story French Country gem packs about 1,500 sq ft of smart charm and functionality. With 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a semi-closed layout designed for both cozy gathering and private repose, and a welcoming rear covered porch, this plan balances classic appeal with modern ease. 1
A Silhouette of Style and It’s Utility
Traditional French Country lines meet thoughtful design—gabled roof, clean exterior elevation, and a covered rear porch beckons outdoor relaxation. The semi-closed interior avoids stale walls while keeping spaces defined and comfortable. 2
Heart of the Home – Great Room & Flow
The great room is truly the heart—featuring built-in shelves, a cozy gas log fireplace, and warmth in design and feel. That welcoming glow stays alive throughout the day and into evening. 3
Kitchen + Dining That Works
Functional flow commands this layout—an eating-bar kitchen opens to the dining area, with the rear covered porch just steps away, making indoor-outdoor dining effortless. 4
Bedrooms & Smart Separation
- Master Suite: Comes with dual (“his-and-hers”) closets and a bathroom that includes dual sinks, a private toilet area, plus both a jacuzzi tub and separate shower.
- Two Additional Bedrooms: Located on the opposite side, they share a common bathroom—perfect layout for privacy and convenience. 5
Utility That Cares
A well-positioned hall closet and a utility/laundry room just off the living areas add the kind of everyday convenience that feels luxurious when you live with it. 6
