Copious windows usher in light to this attractive Craftsman home, Plan HMAFAPW1715 from Homeplans.com.
The one-and-a-half story plan features 3,020 square feet of living space on two levels, plus a 225-square-foot outdoor living area warmed by a fireplace in the back and a large porch in the front.
Every bedroom enjoys a private bath and walk-in closet. The master suite features a spacious bath, a bay window in the bedroom, and an especially large closet that links directly to the laundry room to simplify chores.
A fireplace in the great room warms this space and the wide island kitchen, with room for plenty of groceries in the walk-in pantry. Enjoy breakfast in the bright dining nook, or take your coffee outside and get cozy by the patio fireplace.
The secluded den offers a quiet retreat for work or study.
Entertaining guests? Bring dinner into the dining room near the front, where a bay window dresses up the space.
Upstairs, a large bonus space near the third bedroom would make a great craft room, home theater or exercise studio. Or set it up as a private living room, making the upstairs a haven for an older child, guests or a live-in relative.
