Exterior Design
The exterior blends farmhouse character with modern curb appeal. A prominent L-shaped front porch frames the façade, offering a welcoming outdoor living space that’s ideal for relaxing, socializing, or enjoying views of the landscape. A mixed-material exterior — often combining siding, trim, and accent textures — enhances visual depth and contemporary style. The home’s footprint fits well on a variety of lot sizes. 1
A side-entry garage adds practicality and covered parking without dominating the front elevation, keeping the porch and façade as focal points of the design. 2
Interior Layout Overview
Inside, the home is arranged for both everyday living and entertaining. A foyer leads into an open layout that integrates the family room, dining area, and kitchen, encouraging flow and connection between shared spaces. Vaulted ceilings in the main living area create a sense of height and brightness, while French doors provide access to covered outdoor spaces. 3
Main Living Area
The central living area serves as the social heart of the home with abundant natural light from expansive windows and doors that connect the interior with outdoor living areas. The kitchen is designed for everyday use with well-placed counters, cabinetry, and easy access to the dining space. 4
Bedrooms
This plan typically includes three main bedrooms with the flexibility of an optional fourth bedroom or bonus space. The primary suite provides a private retreat with access to its own full bathroom, while secondary bedrooms share easy access to additional full bathrooms. 5
Bathrooms
Depending on the configuration selected, the home can feature 2.5 to 3.5 bathrooms, including full bathroom access for secondary bedrooms and a convenient half bath near the main living spaces for guests. 6
