Country House Plan with Large Rear Porch, 1932 Sq Ft, 3 Beds, 2 Baths and a 3 Car Garage
If you are looking for a modern farmhouse that is super energy efficient, expandable and affordable, this is the home for you. Designed with a host of energy efficient features that are designed to make this home heat and cool for about half of conventional homes, surprisingly most of the techniques used to create the efficiency add very little extra cost. The exterior is clean and attractive but designed to require much less maintenance than typical sided homes. A large and breezy front porch is perfect for greeting your guest or passing time in your favorite rocking chair. Enter the house through the double French doors with sidelights and you immediately gasp at the living room with its glass doors leading to the rear porch, the massive wood burning brick fireplace and the volume ceilings. A large opening reveals the dining room which has a china cabinet niche, convenient butlers pantry and easy access to the kitchen. The kitchen is feature packed with another pantry, a built in desk, a lazy susan, separate oven/cooktop and a raised eating bar. A few steps away is another walk-in giant sized pantry. The kitchen, eating area and dining room are all open to the living room making the entire area open and airy. As you walk to the master suite, you will pass a super sized utility room complete with twin counter space base cabinets with a built-in laundry sink. There is ample space for a washer, dryer and freezer but the most convenient feature is the doorway leading to the master bath from the utility room. Imagine the steps saved to access the bath room or when delivering linens to the master bath. The master bedroom is sized for a king size set of furniture but the master bath tops all expectations with its giant sized walk-in closet, large his and her vanities with a built-in dressing table, a linen closet, huge shower with a seat and a private toilet room. The master bedroom walk-in closet is divided into his and her spaces and capable of having up to 62’ lineal feet of hanging space. Separated from the master bed room, the two secondary bedrooms are on the opposite side of the house and each are moderately sized and with gracious closet space. The secondary bed rooms share a nice size bath and there is another built-in linen closet located in the hall. For outdoor living, this plan is hard to top because of its large size covered rear porch and adjoining outdoor deck space. Add the 3 car garage and you have a complete wish list in a modest size, super energy efficient and very attractive modern day farm home. Oh but wait, there is a bonus multi-purpose room above the garage and the perfect place for a play room. If you ever need more space, there is 820 square feet of pre-planned future space just waiting for your expansion plan ideas.
