Plan Description

Looking for an empty-nester house plan that is suitable for rugged terrain? Look at this blended country and Craftsman home designed for a mountainous lot. Built on a walkout foundation, this home makes the most of hilly or sloping property. The exterior reveals stunning curb appeal with its multi-material façade, dormer window, stylish porch columns and welcoming entry. Passing thru double doors, the roomy foyer greets all and quickly introduces the expansive great room. A vaulted ceiling and wall of windows lend and open, airy feel. Notice the crackling fireplace and handsome built-ins enhancing this space. Adjacent to the great room, the kitchen and breakfast room combine to create a casual dining space complemented with a breakfast bar and sunny bayed window with rear views. Outdoor lovers will appreciate the sweeping deck and screened porch, the perfect places to soak up the sights and sounds of nature. If you enjoy grilling and dining alfresco or conversation under the stars, these outdoor living spaces are sure to accommodate you. A guest bedroom is just right for weekend visitors, and it enjoys nearby access to a full bath. It also works well for baby-boomers with an aging relative in their care. The laundry room, breezeway, and detached garage polish off the right side of the home. On the left side, you’ll find your well-appointed master bedroom boasting an extensive walk-in closet and sumptuous bath outfitted with His and Her vanities, a splashy garden tub, separate shower and compartmented toilet. If you are looking for a home where you can relax and enjoy retired life, this ranch-style mountain house plan is second to none! For those looking for a larger home or room for kids and grandkids over the holidays, consider finishing the optional lower level. The walkout basement offers 1412 square feet of future bonus space including two more bedrooms and baths, a recreation room, and an office.
Screened porch is not included in the width of the home.
