The La Chenaie 1618 is a modern farmhouse defined by its steep 12:12 roof pitch and a substantial 70 ft 11 in width, creating a distinct visual silhouette on the lot. This design provides 1,618 sq ft of heated living space on the main level, complemented by a 411 sq ft bonus room located above the garage. With a total building depth of 51 ft 6 in, the home maximizes site utility while maintaining a classic, high-profile exterior.
The interior architecture centers on a vaulted great room reaching a vertical scale of 19 ft 6 in, which anchors the open-concept core. This central zone integrates with the kitchen and dining areas, promoting clear sightlines across the primary living space. A walk-in pantry supports the kitchen, which features an island with an integrated eating bar, while the adjacent keeping room offers a secondary area for daily activities.
Designed with a split-bedroom layout, the primary suite occupies one wing of the home to increase privacy from the two secondary bedrooms. The master suite includes a private bathroom and direct access to the laundry room through the walk-in closet. The bonus room above the garage serves as a flexible-use area with ceiling heights between 8 ft and 9 ft, adaptable for media, hobbies, or office needs.
Structural details include 10 ft ceiling heights on the main level and a side-load 652 sq ft two-car garage, which keeps the front elevation clear of door obstructions. The exterior footprint is further enhanced by a 209 sq ft covered front porch and a 232 sq ft covered rear lanai, facilitating transitions between indoor and outdoor environments. The maximum building height of 27 ft 11 in reinforces the home's presence.
