Country House Plan - Floor Plan #ALP-01PX

Its covered porch and shutters give the compact Adkins the look of a traditional farm-style home, but the interior is entirely up to date. Kitchen, dining room and living room flow together, creating a feeling of openness, with nine-foot ceilings adding to the sense of volume. Standing at the sink, you face out across a large patio, accessed through sliding glass doors in the dining room's window bay. A large work island increases available counter space, and laundry appliances are mere steps away, in a utility room with cabinets over the appliances. The small powder room is handy to any area of the main floor, and equally close to the garage. A gas fireplace serves as a focal point in the living room. An arched opening there sets the boundary between that and the dining room. To the left of the central stairway is a den, which would be an ideal location for the family computer, a home entertainment center, or a home office. Bedrooms and a large bonus room are upstairs. The Adkins' owners' suite has a walk-in closet and private bathroom. Amenities include a glass-enclosed soaking tub with shower, double vanity, and built-in bench. Pocket doors provide privacy when needed. Two linen closets nestle into alcoves in the hallway, close to a bathroom that will be shared by the people who live in the other two bedrooms. This bathroom has a combined tub and shower. The Adkins' bonus room has a cross-shaped central space with a 9-foot ceiling that slopes down toward the corners. Dormer windows on two sides could be outfitted with cozy window seats.
