Main Level – Everyday Living that Flows

The main level prioritizes sightlines and natural light. A foyer opens toward an airy great room with a centered focal wall ready for built-ins or a fireplace. Adjacent, the dining area connects to a workhorse kitchen with a long island, double trash pullout, and a windowed sink facing the yard.

• – Flex Office/Study (optional): Quiet front-facing room for calls, homework, or craft projects.

Owner’s Suite – Comfort and Privacy

Depending on your preferred configuration, the Owner’s Suite can be planned on the main level or upper level. The standard layout places it upstairs to keep the entire main floor social and open. The suite features a tray ceiling option, double vanities, a walk-in shower with seat, optional soaking tub, private water closet, and a spacious walk-in closet with direct access to the laundry hall for ultimate convenience.

Secondary Bedrooms & Flexible Upper Level

• – Two secondary bedrooms sized for queen beds and desks.
• – Shared full bath with separate vanity zone to keep mornings moving.
• – Loft/Bonus option: A media-friendly loft or bonus room over the garage works for gaming, a home gym, or guest overflow.
• – Attic storage nooks accessible from the bonus area reduce seasonal clutter.

Exterior Details & Materials

Cladding pairs vertical board-and-batten with a stone water table and porch piers—classic Farmhouse scale, Craftsman texture. Simple gable returns and trim packs retain clean lines. The covered porch provides weather protection and a “hello” moment at the entry, while the garage door’s recessed panels and upper lites echo the home’s window rhythm.

• – Roof: Architectural shingles with practical pitches for reliable shedding and durable lifespan.
• – Windows: Energy-efficient units scaled to the façade for balanced daylight and exterior symmetry.
• – Lighting: Sconce locations by the garage and entry ensure welcoming illumination.
• – Colors: Soft white body, warm stone, taupe shutters, and a charcoal roof—classy, enduring, HOA-friendly.

Planning for Real Construction

Beyond aesthetics, this plan was drawn with construction clarity in mind: structural spans that respect standard lumber sizes, simple framing transitions, and room to route mechanicals without intrusive soffits. The result is a home that is easier to bid and to build—without compromising the elevated look buyers want.

• – Straight runs for plumbing between stacked baths.
• – Continuous bearing lines where possible to control beam sizes.
• – Window placements that align with furniture zones to avoid awkward layouts.
• – Envelope efficiency with compact massing and right-sized glazing.

Interior Design Opportunities

The calm Modern Farmhouse palette leaves room for personal expression. Painted or stained shaker cabinetry, matte black or warm brass hardware, and light oak flooring all harmonize with the stone accents. Exposed beams or a tongue-and-groove ceiling in the great room add warmth without visual clutter.

• – Great Room: Center a fireplace flanked by built-ins for a curated media wall.
• – Dining: A 72–84" table fits comfortably for holiday gatherings.
• – Kitchen: 36" range or cooktop with wall oven stack, optional prep sink at the island.
• – Owner’s Bath: Frameless glass, large-format tile, and a linen tower for spa-level storage.

Storage, Laundry, and Everyday Ease

From the mudroom cubbies to the walk-in pantry and upstairs linen closets, storage was a priority. Laundry can be placed upstairs near the bedrooms for shorter hauls, or configured on the main level for one-floor living—flexible for evolving needs.

Outdoor Living That Works

The porch is scaled for a bench and accent chairs, with lighting that reads warm at twilight. Out back, a simple patio or covered deck lines up with the dining area for easy grilling. Add a low retaining wall and raised beds to echo the stone base for a cohesive landscape statement.

Compare Styles: Modern Farmhouse vs. Craftsman

Modern Farmhouse emphasizes clean, bright compositions with vertical lines and simplified trim. Craftsman elevates texture and human-scaled details like tapered piers and expressive rafter tails. This plan combines both: a crisp Farmhouse silhouette layered over a tactile Craftsman base—fresh without feeling trendy, classic without feeling old-fashioned.
