Floor Plan

The main floor puts the primary suite and office on the left, the great room at the center, and the kitchen with dining toward the rear. The guest suite and foyer anchor the front, with a mud room connecting to the two-car garage.
Floor Plan
Accessed by a staircase with a “dn” marker, the bonus room sits above the garage at 11 x 27-6 with an 8-foot ceiling. At 336 square feet, it’s unfinished but ready. Future owners get a solid head start on extra living space.
Geometric Pendant, Barn Door, and a View Worth Walking Toward
The geometric black pendant sets the tone right away. Shiplap-style barn door with transom glass frames a hill view, while built-in mudroom benches and coat hooks keep the entry hardworking without feeling cluttered.
Ask Yourself: Could your entryway do double duty as a mudroom? Built-in bench seating with storage below solves the “where do shoes go” problem before it starts. If you’re planning new construction, it’s worth roughing in the hooks and cubbies from day one.
Step inside and the living room makes the case for why this floor plan works so well in person.
Shiplap Fireplace Wall, Open Shelving, and White Sofas That Mean Business
Horizontal wood planks frame a linear fireplace below a wall-mounted TV flanked by floating shelves.
Dark Cabinetry, a Walnut Island, and Windows That Earn Their Keep
Four pendant lights over one island is a bold call, and it works.
Dark gray shaker cabinets run the full length of the kitchen, anchored by a walnut-top island with five white bar stools. The gray subway tile backsplash keeps things from getting too heavy. Double wall ovens sit flush to the right, while the dining area beyond pulls your eye straight to the countryside outside.
Tray Ceiling, Wraparound Windows, and a Bedroom That Earns Its Square Footage
Gray walls, a cane headboard, and corner windows framing open countryside give this primary bedroom real presence.
Designer’s Secret: Positioning a bed on an interior wall rather than in front of windows is one of those choices that pays off every morning. You keep the view unobstructed and wake up to natural light without it hitting you directly in the face. It’s a small shift in layout that changes how the whole room feels to live in.
Marble Shower Wall, Freestanding Tub, and a Walk-In Closet Straight Ahead
White shaker cabinetry pairs with charcoal countertops along a double vanity that runs the full length of one wall. Floor-to-ceiling marble tile in the open shower does the heavy lifting visually. And beyond the doorway, a fully organized walk-in closet keeps everything close without cluttering the bath.
Budget Tip: Large-format floor tile costs more upfront but cuts grout line maintenance significantly over time. If you love the marble look but not the marble price, porcelain slabs printed with natural stone veining are nearly indistinguishable once installed and hold up better in wet areas.
Vaulted Bonus Room with a Card Table, a Sectional, and Room to Breathe
Carpeted bonus room with a vaulted ceiling pulls double duty as a lounge and game space. Recessed lighting keeps things clean overhead, while three framed prints anchor the seating wall without competing with the round card table nearby.
History Corner: Bonus rooms built above garages or over attached structures became increasingly common in American residential design during the post-WWII suburban expansion, when families wanted flexible square footage without adding a full story. Builders found that utilizing the roofline’s peak allowed for livable space without dramatically increasing construction costs. Today’s bonus rooms often serve as home offices, media rooms, or game spaces, much like this one.
