  After all these years, I keep coming back to this house. The exterior is gorgeous! Do you have a back elevation? It seems different enough from the 3 plans you mentioned were similar to be able to visualize it. Thank you!

  I love reviewing plans - unsure if this one can be adapted. But I have been searching for a retirement floor plan that provides for 1) Courtyard garage entry - with narrow lots, I hate garages that require a long walk around to front door - this entry solves for that and reduces landscaping expense/upkeep,, 2) A kitchen that provides for the sink, DW, Stove, and Refrigerator in a U-shape with the island simply being for eating, storage and work space - after living in 5 homes, I discovered this is the most functional, I hate turning back and forth when the sink is in the island., 3) in lieu of a 4th bdrm, a flex room that is large enough to function as a man cave (bonus over the garage is great until you are older and have bad knees :) ) and 5) the washer/dryer adjacent to master (either a connector to the master closet or a small second hookup in a large closet to accommodate a second location for aging folks. I have attempted to adapt many plans for these needs and never can quite get it right and allowing for a short walk from garage to kitchen for groceries. It's a lot but hoping it may birth an idea for a new plan in the 1800-2500 sq ft range. Thanks!

  This is one of the most efficient house plans I've seen. Great job maximizing space. I would love to see more plans with options to combine a fully finished bonus apartment over a 3 car garage such as the Dempsey plan. Is it possible to combine a plan like this with the Dempsey 3 car garage plan?

  Gorgeous! A perfect fresh take on European country with a classic layout. Not a bit of wasted space. This plan is perfect! The stone/shake/stucco exterior with the interesting windows and fun metal roof breaking through the front eave is masterful. Would love to know if you have similar plans already developed. Kindly steer me toward them if so. If not, put this one in queue! We're all ready to move past the white New American farmhouse! : )

    Hi Adair! We're happy that you like this plan! We do have similar designs that are available. Check out The Runnymeade, The Foxglove, and The Lucerne. If you would like to make changes to any of these plans to better fit your needs, you can start that process with a modification request.

  Hello, this design is utterly charming. :) Is it possible to combine the 2 rooms on the left into a 2nd master (ideally with 2 walk-in closets and a walk-in, tiled shower with a seat)? Is there enough room where the skylights are located in front of the breakfast nook to close it off from the screened porch with more windows fo create a small sunroom?

  So similar to the Foxglove and Runnymeade and others. Nevertheless, a beautiful design. It would look great with a plaza garage entry.

  Is it possible to take dining room and make that a circular stair well to go to a basement so have a walk out basement and put the circular tower on front to make it look a bit more european? I would also make kitchen/breakfast room larger if any left over space after taking out formal dining room for stairwell if possible & have just one dining area.

  Overall love the lay out. I would eliminate garage storage area & extend master w/c. Also rearrange laundry rm if possible for 2nd access from master w/c. I would increase the length of the optional bonus rm dormer & in that space include a bath. I wouldn't build out the 2nd floor bonus space in ANY house unless I included a bath.

  This is perfect for my family. I would just love a front porch. Also, we just want one story so would prefer the laundry room moved onto the stairway space, with access to the master bathroom.

        It’s me again! Lol I’m still thinking about this one. We have some time so I’ve been really studying various Floorplans that I like. Can you tell me the dimensions of the shower in the master, and the master closet? Thank you.

          Hi, Lisa! The master closet is approx. 6-0 x 7-8, but could be extended to take in the garage storage area and that would make it 6-0 x 12-0. The master shower is approx. 3-4 x 4-8. Let us know if you have other questions!

    Hi Samuel! Yes, there is space for a cathedral ceiling and it could run in either direction depending on what you prefer.

  Very nice layout but all the rooms are too small. Enlarge it to around 3000 sq. ft.. Add a second or bigger master closet and a half bath near the master BR. Add a closet and bath to the bonus room. It is a mistake to not have a bath and closet in the bonus! Finally add a nice front porch with room for about 4 rocking chairs.

  I loved this plan. Since I work from home and love to cook I have a couple of this I would modify. Perhaps worth noting for a final plan. Back guest room with full bath is great. I would move the door to more in the hallway to allow for a bed on the living room wall. Since I do not need a bonus room over the garage I would like to see a larger master bedroom closet that opens into the Laundry area. Remove the garage storage area and the staircase to enable the change. I really love the formal dining room window but would modify the interior of the dining room and existing kitchen to be one large kitchen with island and one wall of appliances. Think more of a chef/baker working in the kitchen who loves large groups hanging out in the kitchen. The light in there would be amazing! I base this comment on a episode of Fixer Upper where Joanne Gaines take a formal dining room and small kitchen and made a stunning entertainment kitchen. This change would most likely result in a longer open living room as well which makes the back area open and flowing. Excellant and beautiful exterior for a smaller home which is extremely hard to find.

      Hello, thank you for the opportunity to comment on your plans. Now a days. I find as I get older I don't want a dinning room it is waisted space. We go to children's homes and more friends come over. So in large kitchen for intertainment. The breakfast nook need to be the dinning space. The now dinning area can be a buttlers pantry, or electronic area. Also, all bedrooms must have a bathroom. The last house I built I accessed the bonus room in a hall by the garage. There it does not interfere with house flow. I stored my Holiday items. Thank you

          I agree with Irene. This plan would be great if it had a larger dining area here eating space is & an office where the current dining room is located to accommodate folks who work from home.

    Yes, since the dining room is SO small, i would also make it part of the kitchen. Where is the mop closet and the closet for a vacuum cleaner and cleaning supplies?

      Thanks for your feedback! There is a small closet next to the pantry (across from the utility room) that could accommodate the vacuum cleaner, etc.
