Exterior Design & Curb Appeal
Measuring roughly 53′ 4″ wide × 67′ 6″ deep, the home presents a compact yet upscale footprint that blends French country character with modern ease. 1 Natural-stone accents or stucco, a steep roof ridge (~29′ 6″ high), and traditional porch detailing evoke timeless style. The covered front porch (~74 sq ft) adds charm and shelter to the entry. 2
Outdoor Living – Covered Patio & Flow
At the rear, a generous covered patio of approximately 325 sq ft creates a true outdoor room—perfect for dining, relaxing or entertaining under shelter. 3 Large sliding or French doors connect the great room to this space, blurring inside-outside lines and bringing fresh air and views into everyday living.
Interior Walk-through – Living Room, Kitchen & Dining
Entry through the foyer (with a 14′ ceiling over the entry bench and storage zone) leads you past a flexible room (which can serve as a study or guest bedroom) into the open-concept living zone. 4 The living room features 11′ ceilings, a centered fireplace on the rear wall, and direct access to the rear patio. The kitchen includes an island with seating for five, an adjacent dining nook under a sloped ceiling for added character, and a sizable walk-in pantry. 5
Master Suite & Secondary Bedrooms
The primary suite is quietly situated toward the rear for privacy. It offers a 10′ tray ceiling, a luxurious ensuite bath with dual vanities, a corner soaking tub, large walk-in shower and a private water closet. Its oversized walk-in closet also provides convenient access to the hallway laundry room. 6 On the opposite side of the home, the secondary bedrooms are grouped: two bedrooms share a full bath via a hall, and a fourth bedroom features its own full bath and generous closet. Optionally, a fifth bedroom can be added in place of the flex room. 7
Service Areas, Garage & Practical Flow
The two-car garage (~525 sq ft) opens via a breezeway-style covered porch area, keeping the garage entry discrete and sheltered. 8 Service zones such as the hallway laundry and the pantry locate near the kitchen and bedroom zone, improving functionality and reducing clutter in shared spaces. The split-bedroom layout ensures that sleeping zones remain quiet while the living zone remains central and open.
