Let's take a break from farmhouses to look at something more coastal: this fresh move-up home from a Florida-based designer.
Florida house plans can take many forms, sometimes going ultra-luxurious. This one, while still upscale, showcases a versatile layout that can serve a variety of different lifestyles.
The coastal curb appeal announces itself immediately on the exterior, with two levels of porches and abundant windows (especially in that turret). Note the parking and storage on the ground level.
On the main floor above, the open layout flows from the great room to the island kitchen. Twenty feet of sliding glass doors open this space to the L-shaped porch for immersive indoor-outdoor living. Two key features make this home suitable for aging-in-place: a main-level primary suite and an elevator that serves all three levels.
Upstairs, the lookout tower (how dramatic) opens to the balcony, as does the large game room. Two suites accommodate family and friends.
