Ask any parent what they actually want from a floor plan and they’ll skip right past ceiling heights — what they want is to see the kids from the kitchen. The Elmfield North delivers on that: a single-story, open-concept layout where the kitchen, dining, and great room share one continuous space under a vaulted ceiling, with every bedroom close enough that no one disappears entirely.

Floor Plan – Main Floor
Ranch layout with vaulted great room, master suite wing, three bedrooms, lanai, and wraparound porch.
Exposed Beams, a Real Fireplace, and Room for Everyone to Spread Out
Rough-sawn wood beams run the length of the vaulted ceiling, and they do the work of keeping a room this open from feeling like a hotel lobby. Two sofas face each other across a wood-and-metal coffee table, patterned accent chairs pulled in close on both sides. The gray shiplap fireplace surround climbs nearly to the ridge — a focal point that earns its square footage — while the kitchen’s dark cabinetry is visible just beyond, keeping the whole space legible from wherever you’re standing.
Dark Cabinets, White Marble, and a Kitchen That Earns Every Square Foot
Black shaker cabinets with brass hardware stretch the full length of the wall, and the combination holds up better in person than it sounds on paper — grounded by a white subway tile backsplash and veined marble countertops on the island rather than tipping into darkness. Matte black open cage-style pendants hang over the island without competing with the marble. The adjacent dining area carries the same palette: wood farm table, black spindle chairs, geometric rug underneath to pull it together.
Pin It
The top half shows a modern farmhouse exterior rendering with board-and-batten siding, wood timber accents, and a wraparound porch. Below it, the floor plan lays out a single-story footprint with four bedrooms, a vaulted great room, a master suite with soaker tub, a mudroom entry, and an attached two-car garage running along the left side.
Common Mistake: Placing the master suite beside the garage feels like a privacy win until you’re lying awake next to an uninsulated wall in January, listening to the neighborhood come and go. If the plan gives you any flexibility, push the master toward a quieter rear corner. It’s the kind of call that’s nearly impossible to undo once framing starts.
