Home plan: Fairy-tale cottage has modern appeal

Stone and log siding join with decorative trusses to create a rugged exterior with curb appeal. The charming open layout displays a modern design sensibility. The kitchen offers plenty of room for meal prep with a spacious counter, a separate central island and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen also has access to a fireplace-warmed grilling porch. Tucked away on the left side of the home, the master suite is appointed with a large bedroom, walk-in shower and walk-in closet. Work from home in the office just off the foyer. On the opposite side of the home, two more bedrooms share another bathroom. An upstairs bonus room offers room for expansion.
