I love the tudor style peaks in this plan, the high pitched roof and the use of brick. The dormers are a nice touch with windows that open out (would remind me of a Maine cottage we stayed at) – absolutely a delight! On the right side of the house is the garage – I love that you enter from the side vs. looking straight at garage doors. Nothing wrong with garage doors, but if I had my choice… this would be a preference.

This is the Allendale house plan by John Tee for Southern Living (SL-1318). This plan is 2,925 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. With two fireplaces perfect for entertaining or getting cozy, this plan has it all (including a two car garage that looks like part of the house as mentioned above)! (See links below)…

You enter into the Allendale house plan via the foyer with the staircase on your right. To the left is a media room with a fireplace. Wonderful for watching TV, movies, etc. also perfect (how I would use it) as a library. Can you image? Line the walls with books, maybe line the walls with a nice cypress, nice lighting, soft music, a roaring fire, make the most cozy spot in the house!

The kitchen/dining/living is all open so that everyone can participate in a conversation. In the middle of the house in the back is the living room that opens onto a covered porch, perfect when you’re wanting a lighter brighter space – with a view of the backyard. To the right is the owner’s suite, laundry area.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms each with their own bathroom and closet with a balcony area separating them for privacy. As always, a plan can be modified to fit your style. This is a sharp plan that will fit in anywhere nicely!
