Neighbors and passersby will compliment you on your lovely Traditional House Plan with its Craftsman details. Multicolored brick and cedar shingle siding dresses up the exterior. An eyebrow window is front and center to add a little bit of storybook appeal, and its shape echoes the arched window on the garage side. This ranch home design features a nostalgic front porch, which promotes relaxation and conversation.

Look around the rear elevation where the angled arrangement of the home appears to embrace the outside attractions. Recline on a chair by the outdoor fireplace or take a dip in your new pool if it’s on your wish list.

Walk inside to note the formal dining room on the left where you will host elegant dinners with ease. A pass-through door to the kitchen is where you will look up to see Dad carry in the turkey on a silver platter come Thanksgiving Day.

Your kitchen is separated from the rest of the living space to preserve a traditional arrangement that sets it apart from most modern homes today. Your family will gather around the island for breakfast because there is seating enough for six!

While not open to the living room, the kitchen is open to the family room. Snuggle on the couch close to the fireplace and enjoy playing board games, or pop some popcorn to watch a movie together during a restful evening.

When you are ready to entertain, the fireplace adds ambiance to the living room, and sliding glass doors open to the breezy veranda of this lakefront house plan.

The quiet master suite is well-appointed and dreamy making it an ideal retirement house plan. Soak your cares away by relaxing in the large garden tub. The sitting room is a bright and sunny area where you can enjoy a book while keeping an eye on the kids who are playing in the back yard.

Two secondary bedrooms are unusual in that they are not side-by-side. This is an unrivaled feature which makes it the ideal multi-generational home design. Each bedroom has a walk-in-closet, and bedroom 2 has a private bathroom which makes it a great option for guests.

Down the hall is a large laundry room, and the staircase leads up to the bonus room and down to the basement if you choose that option.

The bonus room can be finished with a kitchenette, closet and bathroom. This will be perfect for your teenager, live-in grandparent, or even a tenant. Imagine the income and re-sale potential that such a space will add to your home. Leave the space unfinished to save money on the original construction, and then finish the space when time and budget allows in the future.

The basement is a blank canvas of potential. Aside from storage, you may want to finish the space with a billiards room, theater, gym or anything else that has always been on your house-hunting wish list!

Traditional Family Home Plan with Extras

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAChp-6048 | This traditional two-story home combines the perfect blend of brick and stucco to give this design unmatched curb appeal. Wrapping around to your left, the brick garage is inviting with arched doorways (on the original plans) and two dormer windows. Measuring 22′ by 43’4″, the garage has enough room for three vehicles plus a corner storage area. This would be a convenient place to install a rack to hold the push broom, rake and other commonly used gardening tools. What else can you imagine storing here- ATVs, kayaks, the family fleet of bicycles? You might even consider adding a pool table and bar. Why not, when you have so much space? From the garage entry, we have a coat closet to the left and the laundry room to the right.

Enjoy an open dining room with a butler’s pantry across the hall. Showcase your beautiful crystal and China with a guest-pleasing display. For further entertainment after dinner, move the party into the large formal living room which features a central fireplace and bowed windows that expand the rear view of your carefully manicured back yard. Just off the foyer is a large den with built-in cabinets- the perfect place to store board games to foster a little family competition and togetherness. After all, we all know that we should spend less time in front of those electronics.99118-P5

To gather around the fireplace in the large family room conjures up nostalgia for holiday traditions, and one can almost smell apple pie wafting from the kitchen. Built-in cabinetry is included for the family entertainment center. There is a second stairway leading from the kitchen up to the bedrooms and bonus area on the second floor- a great addition if you have a lot of traffic running through the house.

p3Upstairs through French doors, the master bedroom offers a large open space with sweeping views of the outdoors and two large walk-in closets. The master bath provides a private spot for relaxation with a spa/whirlpool tub decorated with fine columns, double vanities and a shower if you don’t have time to lounge. Outside the French doors, art niches provide a place to add your favorite matching statuettes or twin vases overflowing with flowers.
