country farm house plans

This French country abode focuses on a spectacular octagonal great room with a vaulted ceiling. Running along the back, a covered porch can be accessed via French doors from the great room and master bedroom, while a handy pass-through unites the kitchen with the outdoor grille. An isolated location, his and her walk-in closets and a bath with garden tub and separate shower are features of the master suite. A built-in desk and built-in bookshelves are found in the study. Upstairs, a computer desk and a morning kitchen are conveniently placed in the angled loft. Two upstairs bedrooms each enjoy a private bath. Above the garage, bonus space could be used for casual entertaining. Foundation: crawl space.

Two covered porches wrap around the front and rear of this expansive country-style home. Stepped ceilings are found in the master bedroom and dining room, while the great room is vaulted. The living room could also be a guest room. An expansive area is created by the kitchen, breakfast room and great room which has a fireplace. An office or sitting room with a bay connects to the master bedroom. The magnificent master bath consists of a garden tub, separate shower and two sinks. His and her walk-in closets complete the master suite. Upstairs, a second-floor balcony overlooks the foyer. Two family bedrooms, one with a walk-in closet, share a hall bath. Ceilings: 9' standard; 10' stepped ceilings in master bedroom and dining room. Foundation options: basement, slab or crawl space.

The large porches of this sprawling country-style home plan extend living space to the outdoors. Placement of the master suite on the main floor provides privacy while the kids are still at home, and allows the homeowners to confine their living to the ground floor after the kids move on. The sumptuous master suite contains luxuries such as a long, L-shaped walk-in closet, a private spa, an oversized shower and double vanities. The sleeping area is easily large enough to accommodate a desk and a couple of easy chairs, in addition to a queen or king-size bed. A vaulted ceiling adds to the sense of overall spaciousness that pervades the rambling family room/nook/kitchen combination. A U-shaped open stairway juts out into the room, providing a perfect vantage point for viewing the scene below. The open space beneath the mid-flight landing is open. The open kitchen is roomy enough for multiple cooks to combine efforts without getting in each other's way. A vegetable sink is located in the work island, a large walk-in pantry is off to the side, and a utility room with built-in ironing board is but a few steps away.
