Exterior & Curb Appeal

The kitchen includes space for an island, generous cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry. A mudroom connects the kitchen with the garage or exterior areas, simplifying transitions.On one side, the master suite offers privacy: vaulted ceiling, en-suite bath, and closet space. On the opposite side, a second bedroom has its own full bathroom, making this layout comfortable for guests or family. Laundry space and storage are tucked neatly along circulation paths to avoid hallway waste.

The second bedroom, while smaller, remains well-proportioned and includes its own full bath. Both bathrooms are full and functional, designed to serve residents and guests without compromise.
Porch & Outdoor Living
The dual porches are key design features. The front covered porch gives a welcoming entry space for seating, greeting, or enjoying morning air. The rear covered porch extends your living area outdoors, perfect for dining, relaxing, or entertaining in shade. Because both are covered, they’re usable in various weather conditions.
