If you’re after a home with serious soul—think warm wood beams, stone accents, generous porches—for about 3,968 sq ft on the main level (with an optional ~2,250 sq ft lower level) then this plan is worth your coffee break.
Featuring 4–6 bedrooms, 3.5–4.5 baths, a 3-car garage, and all the niceties of modern living wrapped in rustic craft charm.
Exterior & First Impressions
Picture this: a wide 96-foot façade, board-and-batten or natural siding, stone or heavy timber accents, a front porch calling “rock a little, chat a lot,” and a rear covered patio plus sun deck to soak up the good stuff outside. The roofline sits at ~24′ high, giving you the feel of a real home—not a box.
Open Living & Heart-of-Home Design
As you walk in, the foyer opens into a huge living room with a wall of windows that floods the space with light.
The kitchen features an L-shaped island big enough for six stools (yes, six) and connects to an informal dining area plus deck access—ideal for casual meals or entertaining without breaking a sweat.
Bedrooms, Master Suite & Flow
The master suite takes its own wing—total privacy. It boasts a massive walk-in closet, and get this: direct access from the bathroom into the laundry room.
(Laundry-hauling just got upgraded.) Meanwhile, three to five additional bedrooms sit on the other side, offering space for kids, guests, or your “I finally want a hobby room” vision.
Bonus Levels & Flex Spaces
Want more? The optional finished lower level (~2,250 sq ft) gives you bonus rooms, recreation space, or even an extra suite. It’s like buying a 4-bed home and getting a “future you” upgrade already built in.

Why This Plan Works
Because it nails both personality and practicality. You’ve got “rustic charm” (raw wood, stone, deep porches) and “modern life” (open plan, big kitchen, smart workflow). Everyone can be together or go hide in their zone—and who doesn’t appreciate hiding sometimes?
Estimated U.S. Build Cost
For a home like this—with size, finish level, and optional lower level—you’d generally expect **$200-$300 per sq ft** depending on region and finishes. That suggests a build cost of about $800K-$1.2M USD for the main level, plus extra if you finish the lower level. (Land/site work not included.)
Little Joke Break
Enough square-footage talk—just imagine one more stool at the island for your “I finally bought the house” dance. Bonus: on laundry day the master closet → laundry room route means you’re only 10 steps away from that clean-sock nirvana.
