Exterior Features & Dimensions
The home’s footprint measures 68′ 0″ wide by 56′ 0″ deep, with a maximum ridge height of 23′ 7″. 1 The attached two-car garage spans approximately 699 sq ft of the two-car capacity. 2
From the outside you’ll note a covered front porch of about 189 sq ft and a rear covered porch of roughly 129 sq ft—ideal for welcoming guests and relaxing outdoors. 3 The roof carries a primary pitch of 8-on-12 with secondary portions at 12-on-12, giving steeply sloped lines typical of refined French-Country architecture. 4
Interior Layout Walk-through
Step inside the inviting covered front porch and you enter into the foyer which opens into the formal dining room situated to one side—great for hosting elegant gatherings. Adjacent is a flex space or home office, tucked near the entry for convenient access while still offering some separation from the living zones. 6
The heart of the house is the open-plan living area with a well-appointed kitchen, casual breakfast nook, and living room flowing together for ease of movement and socialising. 7 From the living area you’ll have access to the rear covered porch—perfect for indoor-outdoor living.
Tucked privately on the main level is the master suite, offering direct first-floor access: generous closet space, a luxurious bath, and separation from the additional bedrooms—two more bedrooms, two full bathrooms (including the master bath), and one half bath. 8
Above the garage lies the optional bonus room (379 sq ft) which could serve as media room, play area, or extra bedroom—allowing flexibility as needs evolve. 9

Estimated Build Cost
While regional costs vary significantly (labour, materials, site conditions), for a home of approximately 2,000 sq ft with refined French-Country detailing, a rough U.S. build-estimate might fall in the range of US $250 to US $300 per square foot—leading to an estimated build cost of about US $500,000 to US $600,000 (excluding land and local adjustments). Your local market in Tanzania or East Africa may differ substantially; obtaining local builder quotes is recommended.
