Home plan: Colonial character, modern amenities

Elegant and simple, this design prioritizes family-friendly details like big closets and open spaces. The open layout puts both the master suite and a guest suite on the main level, making it easier to age in place. The kitchen features an island with a sink, for ease in interacting with guests while preparing food. The nearby walk-in pantry sits between the kitchen and the garage for quick grocery unloading. With its disappearing wall of glass to the porch, the vaulted "keeping room" (flex space) becomes a bright and breezy living space. A large walk-in closet and double vanities add functional luxury to the master suite. Upstairs, kids or guests have en suite bathrooms. Optional bonus space offers room for expansion.
