An attached front-entry two-car garage provides convenient sheltered parking and integrates smoothly with the home’s façade. 1
Interior Layout Overview
This one-floor plan features an efficient open layout that connects the main living areas while providing privacy where it matters most. Natural light fills the interior, enhancing the comfortable, inviting feel. Optional configurations allow you to adjust bedroom and bathroom counts based on your needs. 2
Main Living Area
The heart of the home centers on a spacious kitchen with ample storage and a large 9’6″-long center island that can comfortably seat up to four people — perfect for meal prep, casual dining, and social gatherings. The kitchen has direct access to a walk-in pantry for additional storage and a rear dining porch, which can be screened in or left open. An optional vaulted ceiling in the kitchen and living room rises to about 13’6″, adding visual volume and a sense of openness. 3
Bedrooms
The plan offers flexibility in bedroom layout, supporting anywhere from one dedicated bedroom up to four bedrooms if additional spaces are configured as sleeping areas. The primary bedroom enjoys privacy and features modern conveniences, including a walk-in closet. 4
A key highlight is the flex room, which can serve multiple purposes — such as a home office, formal dining room, guest room, playroom, or hobby area — depending on lifestyle needs. 5
Bathrooms
This design accommodates 2 to 3 full bathrooms, including a modern master bathroom with a walk-in shower that spans over 6 feet and is designed for easy access and low maintenance. The master bath also includes a dual-sink vanity. 6
