4-Bedroom, 2219 Sq Ft Traditional Plan with Mud Room

The facade and narrow layout of this comfy Country style home (Plan #142-1193) belie its size and utility. Because the garage is a rear-entry type at the back of the house, the home has the look of a smallish cottage or farmhouse. But with 2219 square feet of living space, it has a lot to offer. And 10- and 11-foot-high ceilings make the home feel even bigger than it is.

Four bedrooms, including the lovely master suite, are situated along the left and rear perimeter of the home, along with the garage. One of the bedrroms has its own bathroom to form a mini-suite for private guest quarters. You can enter the house from the garage through the long mudroom, which can be outfitted with lockers – or a long bench with storage underneath and wall cabinets above.

On the right side of the house is the living space – the kitchen, dining, and family areas. The kitchen has a roomy pantry, and the covered-and-screened porch that's situated just off the dining area's French (or sliding if you prefer) glass doors is just the place for alfresco dinner gatherings.

It won't take you long to feel at home in this beautiful gem of a house.
