This plan is 2,233 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The exterior of this home is simply gorgeous. The metal roof is like the icing on the cake, just beautiful! How nice would it be to have a substantial porch. This front porch measures 10′ deep and over 30′ long – can you imagine?

This plan has an open Kitchen/Living area so nice with all those French doors! It also has a real masonry fireplace. You don’t see that too often anymore in newer homes. The Master Bedroom/Bath/Closet is on one side of the hallway and there are two Bedrooms/Bathrooms on the opposite side, along with a Powder Room.  This really gives everyone there own space, very nice!

Upstairs is a Bunk Loft room with built in platform beds in the dormers. Pretty cool, hmmm? That leaves a wide open space to use as another living area. Nice Bathroom and Closet as well.

House Plan: The Macon Residence by Lake and Land Studio!

Macon Residence by Lake and Land Studio

This is the Macon Residence house plan by Lake and Land Studio. The total square footage of this plan is 4,059 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. I love the unique layout. There is a guest suite/apartment on the left side (1 Bedroom/1 Bathroom) and a residence on the other. It’s really much more than a guest suite, I would be happy to live in it! Perfect for someone visiting, or a relative that you would like living nearby! It would give them all the space that they need and you would be right next door.

The exterior of this home is exquisite. Can you imagine?

House Plan: The Kensington by Karoleena!

Kensington by Karoleena FRONTThis is the Kensington Plan by Karoleena. This plan is 1,700 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I love the sleek design. If you aren’t familiar with Karoleena I urge you to check them out. Their plans are wonderful. These homes are built in British Columbia and shipped just about everywhere. They have a fabulous website, it explains their process, shows the design in much more detail than what I’m showing you. You can even get pricing information for everything. It’s out of this world! Just wait until you see the floor plan!

The Kensington Plan by Karoleena MAIN

I love how the living area (Living Room, Dining, Kitchen) is located on one “wing” and the bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry are located on the opposite “wing”. It keeps things nice and quiet, giving privacy which is sometimes hard to do. Be sure to check out their website, there are many more images – Click HERE to see images (interior and exterior!) of the different plans, the Kensington plan included!

House Plan: 101 Scout Path – What a wonderful guest cottage (or art studio?) by Our Town Plans!

101 Scout Path by Our Town Plans

Who would have thought there would be this much charm in a 280 square foot guest cottage? There is. Oodles of it! This plan is 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and when you add the unconditioned space (porch and screened porch) that almost doubles the square footage. Outdoor living space is fabulous! This would make a sweet addition to your backyard for when you have a guest, just think of the possibilities! This plan would make an amazing art studio! You could paint inside OR outside while on the porch! Can you imagine?? This is the 101 Scout Path plan by Our Town Plans.

 

101 Scout Path by Our Town Plans (Front)

The layout is simple, a bedroom, bathroom and closet. There is a sink outside of the bathroom area, which is nice, especially if you’re using this as an art studio, plenty of room to wash your brushes! The closet area could hold your art supplies. There beautiful windows and oh… the porches! You’ve got to see photos of actual images of this plan that were built, each is unique, all are fabulous!

House Plan: TNH SC 32DL by Moser Design Group

TNH SC 32DL by Moser Design Group

TNH SC 32DL by Moser Design Group

This is the TNH SC 32DL plan by Moser Design Group. This plan is 1,791 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. This plan features 9′ ceilings both upstairs and down – and has loads of charm to go with it! I love that a section of the porch is screened – so you can sit outside even with the mosquitoes!

TNH SC 32DL by Moser Design Group MAIN

This plan has an open floor plan with a kitchen, living & dining space. There is a fireplace both indoor and outdoor. Can you imagine how wonderful it would be on a nippy evening, to sit on your porch and have a fire? Heavenly!

The main floor also has a powder room and a utility room off of the back porch. The master bedroom is in the back of the house and I wonder if there could be some sort of built in storage or drawers to access underneath the stairway from the master bedroom! Couldn’t that be wonderful storage for off season clothing, etc.?

What a great plan, especially if you’re downsizing or not looking for a large home. With the 9′ ceilings both up and down, this plan could really look like it was built years ago. Shiplap walls would be very cool in this home, wouldn’t they?

TNH SC 32DL by Moser Design Group UP

How perfect is this upstairs? Two bedrooms, bathroom and gallery area. Say no more – this is fabulous!!

228 Pendleton Road by Our Town Plans. What a great little plan this is! This is an especially great plan if you are just starting out! This place is precious! The bathroom is gorgeous (see the real life images) – and the bedroom/living area can be just as you like it. This plan can use a regular bed and a few chairs or small scale love seat or a wonderful daybed, depending upon your preferences. This home is so sweet from the outside and just has so much character I am ready to downsize!

228 Pendleton Rd by Our Town Plans

A sweet porch that increases your living space, especially during the nice weather! A perfect, small kitchen with a bedroom/living area and a nice size bathroom, and ooooh, a closet! Perfect!

House Plan: The Eden plan by Allison Ramsey!

EDEN by Allison Ramsey Architects

This is the Eden house plan (C0231) by architect Allison Ramsey, (be sure to check out the real images of the interior)! Allison’s homes have such presence. They’re solid, beautiful and they look like they’ve been here for quite a while because they have charm. Charm and character is so important. There are many variations of this plan. I loved each one, so I decided to feature the original and let you check out the variations!

Eden by Allison Ramsey Architects

There is a small porch on the front of this house, which is so nice, then you step into the house and LOOK AT THAT ENTRY! You see straight through to the screen porch. What a magnificent view! I would put a wide door with mostly glass, like one from a cottage that we rented in Maine. It was magnificent and can really make a house! We would probably use that front Bedroom (2) as a study. The layout of this plan is so nice – and that screen porch… owie! Love it!

Eden by Allison Ramsey Architects

The upstairs has two additional bedrooms. I think I would use one for a guest room and one for storage, so I would only have one bathroom upstairs. What would you do?

Be sure to check out the website, it has been updated with many new plans and a new layout that is easy-breezy to view. So nice!

House Plan: Sarah’s Shack by Madison Spencer Architects!

Sarah's Shack by Madison Spencer Architects

Madison Spencer. An amazing architect with a wonderful vision. Sarah’s Shack house plan is 1,100 square feet with 1 bedroom and 1 and 1/2 bathrooms.

Can’t you picture this home in Maine? Or anywhere for that matter. It reminds me of a small version of a cottage we rented one year in Port Clyde, Maine. It was unbelievable. This plan is so functional. The exterior I just love!

Sarah's Shack by Madison Spencer Architects

You walk into this plan from the wonderful front porch. The sitting room takes up a good part of the house, with a wonderful door and two French doors opening to the porch. Can you imagine? How perfect when entertaining! The Bedroom is compact, if you didn’t need the Desk area you could also make the bedroom a little larger to position a bed to make entry/exit from the bed easy for two people. I happen to adore the desk area myself. I find myself also liking my desk area to be near where we are living, so perhaps in front of one of the French doors would be nice, especially if you had a great view!

Built-ins in a bedroom are fabulous. The cottage we rented one year had just that, it was so convenient!

Read a bit about Madison Spencer… Be sure to check out Madison’s different projects. I am beyond impressed! Beautiful just doesn’t begin to describe!

Madison Spencer is an architect based in Charlottesville Virginia.  He attended the University of Virginia in its heyday when the School of Architecture was led by Jaque Robertson and studied under Leon Krier, Demetri Porphyrios and Bill Westfall.   His work takes him from Maine to the Caribbean and is of all scales.  Of late he has devoted much time to the study of folly architecture – those more whimsical garden structures that fall somewhere between little house and hermit’s grottoe – on which he has lectured at the Sotheby’s Institute and the American Georgian Society.  

For you down-easters, await the Temple of the Winds tower he is designing for an estate on Little Deer Isle drawings of which he will reveal soon!

House Plan: The Pemberton plan by Karoleena!

Pemberton house plan by Karoleena

This is the Pemberton house plan by Karoleena. This plan is 1,300 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. This is a stunning modern take on farmhouse living. The impressive number of windows brings the outside in no matter where you are! Classy design, as always, by Karoleena.

Pemberton house plan by Karoleena

Click to see larger image, or see MAIN living area detail in next image.

This house plan has the master bedroom/bathroom located on far left with wonderful closet space. Across the front you’ll see the Kitchen/Dining/Living, so well thought out. Located behind the main living space is another Bedroom, Bathroom and and another Bedroom on the far right. Joining the main home to the Garage and to the separate Media Room is an Entry space, which is where the washer and dryer are located. Very smart indeed! The Media room, the way it juts out a bit adds such interest to this plan. Making it a hideaway that is nearby and enjoys the scenic view, just like the rest of this fine home.

Pemberton house plan by Karoleena

Here is the detail of the main living area. I can imagine myself living here… in a heartbeat!

Be sure to check out their website: “Karoleena is a custom home builder specializing in designer prefab homes. Our modern homes are built in beautiful British Columbia and delivered anywhere.” Not familiar with their manufacturing process? Be sure to check it out, it’s very impressive!

House Plan: Distant Island House by Allison Ramsey Architects!

 

Distant Island House by Allison Ramsey Architects

This is the Distant Island House Plan by Allison Ramsey Architects. Wow! This design is unique and would fit in so many settings just beautifully!

There are four porches on this plan. Two unscreened porches (one in the front, inset between the two “wings”, what I call it, and one off the Laundry Room with easy access to Bedroom 3. Two more screened porches, one off the Master Bedroom and another off of the Living room. Nice!!

NOTE: AllisonRamseyArchitect.com has updated their website, it is WONDERFUL! Very user friendly – check it out! You will dream for days!

Distant Island House by Allison Ramsey Architects (First Floor)

Do you see what I see? A GALLERY! Can you imagine? What a fabulous house plan. This plan has an outdoor terrace separating the two “wings” of the home. I think this is fabulous. When I look at house plans I think about the way that we would use the house. For just Fred and I, we would probably use Bedroom 2 as a Study or Reading Room. We would use Bedroom 3 for guests (I think)… It’s got nice privacy and access to the porch.

I think it’s creative how the rooms are built around an outdoor terrace, offering beautiful views from every room, all in a private setting.

House Plan: TNH SC 41A by Moser Design Group!

TNH SC 41A by Moser Design Group

This is the TNH SC 41A house plan by Moser Design Group. This is a cool, smaller plan that has a very different layout. This is a one story home with 1,592 square feet, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The ceilings are 10′ which is quite impressive. The porch. Ahhh, the porch. The epitome of low country living. The smaller window on the right is the kitchen window. If there  was a way, I would make the windows the length of the counter and have a pantry somewhere/anywhere. That’s just a personal preference.

A huge plus with this plan are the porches. They add so much! The porch across the front, the screened porch on the right side and a sun room on the left side. I believe they’ve covered it all!

TNH SC 41A by Moser Design Group

Wonderful plan. KITCHEN ON THE FRONT. I love the idea of the kitchen window looking out where things are happening! I swear you could almost 86 the dishwasher, since it could be so entertaining to look out while washing dishes!

The only changes that we would probably make is to not have a bathtub in the Master Bath. Maybe if the Master Bath could be reconfigured to hold a washing machine/dryer so that I could make the Utility room a pantry. Bottom line is that this is a wonderful plan with no changes being made. It’s a great livable space both on the inside and outside!

White Plain by Our Town Plans

What do you notice right away? There are two master bedrooms, both located on the first floor. Genius! There are many circumstances where this plan would come in so handy!

I love how you see the staircase from the entry, and how the dining/living area shares a space. Perfect! An unscreened porch on the front and a screened porch on the back, you will be set no matter what the conditions!

White Plain by Our Town Plans

The upstairs has two bedrooms, both with bathrooms and closets, an office nook, and an Owner’s Closet. Nice to have storage!
