Exterior Design & Curb Appeal
This plan presents a classic **Craftsman-style façade** that merges charm with efficient design. The structure spans approximately 68′ 6″ in width and 61′ 3″ in depth. Key exterior attributes include a covered front porch that welcomes guests, tapered columns supporting the overhang, and a side-entry garage that keeps the front elevation neat. The roof pitch is steeper (12:12) which accentuates the architectural lines and supports window dormers or bonus room overhead.
Interior Layout & Floor Plan
The main floor layout covers 2,520 sq ft of heated space, with an optional bonus room of 628 sq ft overhead. This single‐story plan (with bonus level) offers strong flow and versatile room placement. Ceiling heights throughout are 9 feet on both floors, enhancing openness.
At the heart of the home is an open living area that integrates the great room, dining and kitchen for a cohesive entertaining zone. The kitchen features a large island, pantry space and adjacency to the dining area. The formal and informal zones balance together to serve daily living and hosting.
The side‐entry garage (two‐car, unheated space approximately 651 sq ft) links to a mud/laundry zone, facilitating clean transitions from exterior to interior.
Bedrooms & Private Spaces
This plan accommodates **4 to 5 bedrooms**, depending on usage of the bonus area overhead. There are 3 full bathrooms and 1 half bathroom. The master suite is on the main level and is designed to afford privacy while still being accessible. Secondary bedrooms are positioned thoughtfully to provide separation from the master zone yet easy access to shared baths. The bonus room offers flexibility for a fifth bedroom, office, playroom or guest suite.
Bonus Room & Garage Features
The optional bonus area of 628 sq ft opens up possibilities for extra living space—whether as a home theatre, gym, additional suite or hobby room. The two-car garage with 651 sq ft unheated space provides ample storage and automotive capacity, while its side entry preserves the clean front view of the home.
