Barn Plan 5032-00010

This spectacular Shouse/Barndominium house design can also double as a Farmhouse style home with its expansive exterior and interior spaces. The front covered entrance features stacked stone pillars with columned beams along with a stone façade that wraps around the home and allows for covered space to relax and greet family and friends. Metal roofing is such a great exterior feature; aesthetically pleasing, long-lasting and durable as well as being energy efficient. These roofs reflect rather than absorb radiant heat making for cooler interior temperatures during the summer. Stylish board and batten are highlighted along the remaining exterior and there are two front garage bays and a rear one for easy vehicle access. Large and bold, this exterior façade features a commanding presence and offers a great deal of aesthetic beauty and purposeful design ideas for today’s homeowners.

The interior layout is functional and offers great space for families. The main floor opens from the front porch into the living and dining space. The light-filled living room features a great entertaining space that is large and comfortable and opens onto the kitchen; an amazing space for family and friends to gather and enjoy one another whether cooking, eating, or just relaxing. The kitchen features modern appliances and a large island where dining and food prep is an enjoyable pleasure. The main floor is where the laundry room is found offering plenty of space and a sink with counter space as well. Adjacent to the laundry room is the mudroom where there is access to the oversized garage/workshop area; a necessary accompaniment for clean-up when coming in from the outdoors or garage area. The guest half bath is around the corner and then the rear of the home is dedicated to the owner’s suite which features a large bedroom, a walk-in closet, and the en suite bathroom.

The second floor of the home offers three additional bedrooms; a guest room with window views and a large closet along with bedrooms three and four. Both are of identical size with matching closet space and each features window views out the front or rear of the home. There is a hall bathroom between them that includes double vanities, a linen closet, a toilet area, and a tub/shower combination. Enormous loft space is situated in one corner of the second floor and features amazing space for a playroom for young children, a teenage “hangout/game” room, or alternately could serve as a homework/school station. This Shouse style plan features an eclectic exterior and a functional and practical family layout, and the garage space is great as a storage for multiple vehicles, a workshop, or a craft/hobby space.
