Distant Shores Craftsman is a two-story residential design providing 2,224 square feet of heated living space, optimized for a 50-foot wide by 58-foot deep lot footprint. This home utilizes a classic Craftsman aesthetic, featuring a covered front porch that transitions into an open-concept core. The primary structure is built with 2x6 wall framing, a crawl-space foundation, and an 8:12 roof pitch, ensuring a durable and traditional vertical profile.
The main level occupies 1,430 square feet and centers around a great room anchored by a fireplace. This area maintains direct sightlines to the kitchen, which is equipped with a large island and eating bar. The floor plan includes a primary suite on the first floor, alongside a secondary guest room, providing a split-bedroom arrangement that maximizes privacy. A mudroom with laundry access integrated into the primary walk-in closet enhances the utility of the main floor.
Occupying 794 square feet, the second level contains two additional bedrooms and a loft area. The 8-foot ceiling heights on this level define a distinct zone for family members, separate from the primary living areas on the ground floor. The 9-foot ceiling heights on the main level promote a sense of volume in the common rooms, allowing for increased natural light penetration throughout the core of the home.
Practicality is addressed through a 473-square-foot front-load 2-car garage, which provides convenient access to the interior via the mudroom. The inclusion of a covered rear porch extends the living area outdoors, supporting seasonal use of the backyard. This configuration balances the requirements of a 4-bedroom, 2-full-bathroom, and 1-half-bathroom residence within a compact, efficient building envelope.
Key Features: 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, first-floor primary suite, main-level guest room, 2-car front-load garage, crawl-space foundation, 2x6 wall framing, upstairs loft, covered front and rear porches.
