Classic Country Home
Plan 929-8
After stepping in off this home’s front porch, guests are welcome to enjoy a grand open living space, featuring cathedral ceilings. This space is comprised of the living and dining rooms, with an attached kitchen. Move the party outside easily with convenient access to a screened-in porch and spacious patio, which also features an outdoor kitchen for simple summer entertaining. A private primary suite with its own full bathroom and two walk-in closets provides a sanctuary for the homeowners, while two additional bedrooms give guests or children their own areas to relax. Upstairs, a versatile bonus room allows endless possibilities for spending time with loved ones, and skylights on the upper level let light in during the day, while allowing indoor stargazing at night.
Rustic Modern Farmhouse
Plan 929-1128
This modern farmhouse welcomes you indoors through a trussed front porch, leading into a foyer space that opens into the home’s great room. This main living space is flanked by the primary suite to the right, as well as the wide-open island kitchen and designated dining space to the left. The main suite includes two walk-in closets and a full bathroom with a large bathtub. On the home’s opposite side is an additional bedroom, as well as another room which can be utilized as either a bedroom or study. Head upstairs to relax in the home’s bonus room, which includes its own full bathroom and access to the attic. This home would not be complete, though, without its spacious patio and enclosed porch, which makes entertaining all-year round a breeze.
