This Craftsman plan strikes the perfect balance between comfort and style. In the great room, a cathedral ceiling creates drama and draws the eye up. Nearby, an island takes center stage in the kitchen and offers extra counter space. A snack bar in the dining room is a welcome amenity.
The three-car garage could also become a workshop if needed. Not one, but two wraparound porches give you plenty of room to kick back and relax. We love the metal gable roof!

One trend we keep seeing more and more of is the ever-so-popular barndominium style – and we are here for it. Here’s a new budget-friendly barn-inspired plan that wows with an uncomplicated footprint and an eye-catching exterior. A wide front porch offers shaded comfort.
At the heart of the home, the open kitchen shines with an island that seats up to four, lots of counter space, and a walk-in pantry with shelves. The breakfast nook and the living room wait close by. Check out the extra-big closet in the primary suite. Two more bedrooms (each with a walk-in closet) share a full bath.

Who doesn’t love some farmhouse flair? We certainly do! With a charming front porch, metal roof accents, and board-and-batten siding, this four-bedroom design has country style written all over it. Don’t worry, the fun doesn’t stop there.
Inside, a vaulted ceiling and a large fireplace highlight the open great room and the dining area. Nearby, the island kitchen features an eating bar and a sizable pantry with shelves and a sink. On the way in from the three-car garage, the entry keeps you organized with lockers.
At the back of the plan, the primary suite enjoys privacy and a spa-like bath. Our favorite part? The rear porch, which features an outdoor kitchen and a fireplace.

This cottage plan shows off clever details. The two-story living room/dining area impresses with a wood-burning stove and a wet bar. Bringing the outdoors in, two sets of sliding glass doors open to a generous terrace.
In the kitchen, another set of sliding glass doors opens to a second terrace. Two bedrooms rest at the back of the plan, along with a third terrace (accessed from each bedroom). Don’t miss the porch.

A super-open layout and front and rear porches are just some of the highlights of this farmhouse plan. We love the mixed siding. The two-car garage features a storage closet and a workbench. The kitchen island serves the open great room, where a vaulted ceiling and a fireplace deliver style and warmth.
It’s all about luxury in the primary suite. Note the custom shower, the freestanding tub, and the extra-spacious closet. The laundry room waits conveniently close by.
