Welcome to this country craftsman home, which spans over 2,351 square feet. It includes 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, an open-concept living plan, and a bonus room upstairs. There’s also an attached 3-car garage with side-loading doors, making the home suitable for large families. As for the outdoor entertaining potential, the house includes a sizable grilling porch at the back.
First, Let’s Check the Exterior of the Country Craftsman Home
Featuring a craftsman style, this home combines materials like wood and stone. The white-painted brick contrasts beautifully with cedar shake siding. But I particularly like the way the front porch is designed to be a focal point.
Main Level Floor Plan – See how the primary bedroom has a dedicated wing with exterior walls on three sides? I love that layout design.
Here’s a layout that maximizes the flow between key areas. For instance, the elongated, diner-style kitchen island bridges the gap between cooking and living spaces. Over on the right wing and behind the garage, you have the master suite. Meanwhile, the secondary bedrooms are on the left wing, sharing a Hollywood bathroom.

Bonus Room Floor Plan
Clever use of attic space above the garage gives this home a functional bonus area. The room’s long, open layout is suitable for various usesโfrom a home office to a kids’ playroom.

White Siding, Stonework, and a Flanked Entrance
White paint brightens the exterior while the accents ground the look. I find the symmetry around the French door particularly appealing, with the twin dormers, large glass windows, and columns on either side.
Side-Loading, Triple Garage With Wooden Doors
You’ve got two doors on the side of the garage, and the wood choice here is perfect. The tone adds warmth to the white stone around it. I also love how the roof peak creates visual interest while tying back to the door’s warm tone.
More White Columns, Stonework, and Thoughtful Landscaping in the Rear
Much like the front entrance, the French door that opens to the grilling porch is flanked by columns, plants, and stone pedestals. Notice that the stonework in the chimney matches that of the columns. This little detail creates a sense of cohesion.
