How many dining rooms sit useless for 10 or 11 months out of the year? Doubtless too many, and floor plans today often simply ditch the dining room in favor of a nook and a big island with seating.
But, Thanksgiving calls for something special. This new plan presents an intriguing solution, a large, open dining area in front of a two-sided fireplace that strikes a nice balance between formal and casual.
On the kitchen side, beams draw the eye up and add a touch of rustic charm to what otherwise feels very modern. There's an island, but there's also space for a big table.
Meanwhile, the living room enjoys its own space. This area feels defined but not totally closed off from the rest of the floor.
Let's look at the floor plan. On the left, the primary suite showcases a spa-like bathroom with a freestanding tub. On the right, four bedrooms provide space for kids, Thanksgiving guests, working from home, or all of the above.
On the exterior, the large garage with a workshop and spacious porch give barndominium flair. Another large porch in back creates plenty of space for holiday socializing when the weather is right.
