The Great Heart is a single-story ranch house plan encompassing 2,700 square feet of heated living space, engineered for a 71'10" width and 72'7" depth lot. This residence prioritizes a rationalized footprint, utilizing a slab foundation and truss roof framing with an 8:12 roof pitch to achieve a maximum building height of 23 feet. The exterior profile is grounded by a 550 square foot covered front porch, providing a structured entry point that complements the 1,138 square foot, 4-car front-facing garage.
The interior layout centers on a 9-foot ceiling height throughout, creating a consistent vertical volume across the main living areas. The primary social core consists of a kitchen equipped with a central island and a walk-in pantry, opening directly into a keeping room that features a fireplace. This open-concept design facilitates transit between the internal living zones and the 550 square foot rear patio, maintaining a clear relationship between the kitchen, dining, and outdoor entertainment spaces.
A split-bedroom configuration ensures privacy by separating the primary suite from the secondary sleeping quarters. The primary suite includes an en suite bathroom and direct access to the laundry room through the walk-in closet, optimizing daily circulation. The remaining floor area is distributed among three secondary bedrooms and additional utility spaces, including a dedicated home office and a flexible room suitable for a media center or fitness area.
Utility and storage are addressed through a mudroom entrance and the expansive garage footprint, which provides capacity for four vehicles. The floor plan integrates a half bathroom for guest access near the main living areas, while the two full bathrooms serve the bedroom wings. The design utilizes a centralized circulation path that minimizes wasted hallway space while maximizing the square footage allocated to active living zones.
