This home delivers about 2,400 sq ft of main-level living, with **4 bedrooms** (or 5, if you finish the bonus room), **3½–4½ bathrooms**, and a **2- or 3-car garage**. It strikes just the right balance between openness, privacy, charm, and practicality.
Front & Exterior Design
The façade is classic modern farmhouse: board-and-batten siding, two gables flanking a welcoming front porch, with a centered dormer over French doors to add symmetry and curb presence.
Roof pitch is 4:12 for the front; primary roof and rear elements are steeper. 0
Main Living Spaces & Layout Flow
Enter through the foyer into the vaulted great room—visible from the entrance, with a fireplace on the right wall flanked by built-ins, all opening toward the kitchen and out to rear porch.
The kitchen is a cook’s delight with a big prep island that seats four, walk-in pantry, and ready access to a grilling porch for easy indoor-outdoor flow. 1
Bedrooms & Privacy Zones
The master suite sits quietly on the left side: vaulted ceiling, a spacious bathroom with separate tub & shower, and a large walk-in closet. On the opposite wing, three secondary bedrooms are laid out for flexibility—two sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath; the third with its own full bathroom. Half baths are placed for guest convenience. 2
Bonus Options & Garage Variations
Have potential for more: there’s an optional **bonus room over the garage** (~632 sq ft) to expand bedroom count or add special space like media, studio, or guest.
You can also go with either the standard 3-car garage or the 2-car variant (with some dimension tweaks). Rear porch and front porch sizes give extra outdoor living. 3

Estimated U.S. Build Cost (USD)
For a home of this size and level of finish, you’d likely see building costs in the U.S. of about $175–$260 per sq ft. That puts the base construction between **$420,000–$625,000 USD**, depending where you build, the materials you choose, and local labor rates.
Financing the bonus space or garage options will add extra cost. (Land, permits, and site work not included.)
Why This Plan Feels “Perfectly Balanced”
- Strong symmetry in design—left and right wings with balanced gables.
- Open shared areas (great room, kitchen, dining) that keep family connection strong.
- Private spaces well separated (master away from secondary bedrooms).
- Flexibility via bonus room and garage options to adapt to changing needs.
- Outdoor porches front and back to enjoy weather, views, and porch life.
