Craftsman House Plan 9401-00014

This charming one-story Craftsman cottage is reminiscent of an English style bungalow with its steep pitched roof, tall, narrow multi-light windows, and decorative stonework and hardware. Compared with large Tudor-style homes popular in the late 19th century echoing medieval English styles, modern English cottages are more streamlined and offer cozy private spaces. The exterior façade of this home is architecturally stunning and features wood beam columns accented with brick supporting the base of the porch. Graceful arches, beautiful exterior lighting, and ornate hardware add character and style to this English cottage. Approximately 1,800 square feet of living space which includes three bedrooms, two baths, and a two-car garage is highlighted in this one and ½ story home. There is a second-level bonus room that includes an additional 302 square feet making this floor plan versatile and quite functional. The covered front porch is an inviting space in which to relax or greet your neighbors and friends. The open concept living spaces add to the spacious feel of the home and bode well for entertaining.

Once you enter the home through the front foyer, an elegant formal dining room is to your right. This space captures the feel of the home with its stately column work and trey ceiling. A double-sided, stone fireplace divides the space between the dining and family room and offers an architectural break between the spaces. The family room offers an impressive double step, trey ceiling, has a stunning wall of windows view to the rear lanai and is open to the kitchen and breakfast nook. This kitchen is a chef’s dream and boasts of an angled bar area which would be ideal for breakfast, snacks or doing homework. A separate walk-in pantry and plenty of additional counter and cabinet space complete the kitchen and breakfast nook with lanai access through the nook area. The rear yard and lanai provide an exciting and functional area in which to entertain; there is plenty of space and a large corner barbecue porch that features an outdoor fireplace and kitchen. The two-car garage is enormous with large additional storage space and a workshop that would satisfy anyone’s idea of a workspace. The utility room is open to the large workshop making this a smart design choice for convenience and cleanliness. The split bedroom plan is ever popular and adds to the privacy of the master retreat. The owner's retreat is beautifully appointed and offers a true oasis from everyday living. The bedroom is spacious with a tray ceiling, a rear sitting room with beautiful window views and private access to the rear lanai. The en suite bath features dual, separate vanities, a large garden tub, a separate shower, and a compartmentalized toilet. His and her walk-in closets are situated at the rear of the bath for convenience. Bedroom two has a large walk-in closet while bedroom three offers generous closet space; both bedrooms share the hall bath which is spacious and has a linen closet for storage.
