French Country House Plan with Great Opportunity for Future Expansion
French Country House Plan 72261 has 2,537 square feet of living space, 3 bedrooms, and 2.5 bathrooms. We love the finishes including flared eaves, decorated gables, white vertical siding, shed dormer windows, and thick porch columns with stone bases. The angled, two car garage adds interest to the front elevation and brings the total width to 107'. Going around to the rear, we find a combination of open patio spaces and two separate covered porches. Four sets of French doors open off the back of the home and invite you to spend time outdoors.
French Country House Plan With Interior Photos
Let's take a tour of French Country House Plan 72261 by perusing the pictures. Firstly, move from the foyer into the open living space among the great room and dining room. White columns define these spaces, and white paint reflects the natural light throughout. The sage green feature wall adds interest to the dining room. Choose neutral wood flooring to complement the lovely stone fireplace. Notice how the staircase ascends behind the fireplace and draws your eye upwards to the open railing of the second floor.
Secondly, the kitchen is presented with white modern shaker style upper cabinets, many with glass doors. Lower cabinets tie in well with the dining area because they are painted in the same sage green color. We recommend quartz counter tops and stainless steel appliances for style that will never go out of date. Don't miss the walk-in pantry through the pocket door. Thirdly, practical spaces are right around the corner. Entering from the garage, we find a long coat closet and a large laundry room with a utility sink and lots of counter space.
3 Bedrooms and Room to Expand Upstairs
You may build French Country House Plan 72261 with 3 bedrooms, but you can add more at any time. Upstairs has abundant space labelled as "unfinished." Add another bedroom, home office space, entertainment, and even another full bathroom. Not only that, but the bonus room over the garage is available for a guest suite or rental opportunity as well. Back on the main level, we find two children's bedrooms on the right side of the floor plan. The kids share bathroom 2 off the hallway. Plus, the occupant of bedroom 3 has private access to his own covered porch!
Looking over to the opposite end of the floor plan, we find the luxury master suite. Mom and Dad will appreciate the split floor plan because it affords them more privacy. Step into the ensuite where you will find a freestanding tub, his and vanities, huge shower with seating, and a walk-in closet which is probably the biggest you've ever seen!
