This Scandinavian-inspired modern ranch offers about 2,892 sq ft of one-level living, wrapped in clean lines and balanced symmetry. With 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a side-entry 2-car garage (~600 sq ft), and a vaulted great room that climbs to around 14 feet, it’s designed for people who love light, simplicity and calm, open interiors.
Exterior Design & Curb Appeal
The exterior leans into modern Scandinavian simplicity: low, composed rooflines, large windows, and a symmetrical front that feels quiet and refined rather than busy. Natural-toned materials and crisp trim keep things fresh but not fussy. The footprint of roughly 93′ 8″ wide × 65′ 9″ deep gives the home presence on the lot while still reading as a single, grounded volume instead of a tall two-story.
Front & Rear Porches – Framed Outdoor Living
Outdoor space is carefully proportioned. A covered front porch of about 78 sq ft frames the entry and creates a simple, welcoming threshold. At the back, a generous rear porch of roughly 648 sq ft unfolds across the width of the home, functioning almost like an outdoor living room. It’s perfectly placed off the main gathering spaces, so opening the doors instantly doubles your entertaining zone for dinners, relaxed weekends or kids drifting between inside and out.
Vaulted Core – Great Room, Kitchen & Dining
Step through double French doors into a foyer that immediately sets up the home’s symmetry: guest rooms to one side, vaulted living core straight ahead. The great room and dining space share a dramatic 14′ vaulted ceiling, giving an airy, pavilion-like feel. A fireplace anchors one wall while tall windows pull in daylight and frame views to the rear porch.
The kitchen sits open to this vaulted area, with a central island that becomes landing spot, breakfast bar and prep surface all in one. A large, hidden walk-in pantry tucks behind the main kitchen line—ideal for storing small appliances and bulk goods so the main counters can stay beautifully clear. A country-style sink sits beneath a rear-facing window, letting you look out across the back porch while you work at the sink.
Split Bedroom Layout – Private Master, Quiet Guest Wing
The split-bedroom layout is one of the plan’s biggest lifestyle wins. To one side of the foyer, two secondary bedrooms share a full bath and hallway zone—perfect for children, guests, or a combination of bedroom and office. A third secondary bedroom has quick access to another full bath, giving each occupant comfort without crowding.
On the opposite side of the home, the master suite is tucked into its own wing. A vaulted ceiling echoes the main living volume but at a more intimate scale. The large walk-in closet connects directly to the laundry room, making everyday chores much easier—no long hauls with laundry baskets. The ensuite bath offers space for dual sinks and a generous shower, continuing the home’s calm, uncluttered feel.
Garage Entry, Family Foyer & Storage
The 2-car side-entry garage (~600 sq ft) connects into a practical family foyer. Built-in bench and hooks give everyone a landing zone for shoes, backpacks and coats. A small built-in desk niche can serve as a mail sorting station, homework perch or home-command spot. From here you move easily toward the kitchen or the bedroom hall, so daily traffic never has to cut through the center of the great room.
