A good lakefront house plan makes outdoor living the priority. Here's a new one that creates abundant spaces for enjoying being outside. See more images at Houseplans.

The back of the home showcases the view with a spacious porch that segues to an uncovered deck on either side on the main level and a patio downstairs.

Here's a look at the front. Note the wraparound porch that, like the back, offers a mix of covered and uncovered spaces for relaxing. Rugged trusses add rustic flair.

On the main level, the layout flows from the living room to the open dining area and then into the kitchen. A peninsula here seats five for relaxed meals. On the opposite side of the home, the primary suite treats homeowners to a five-piece bathroom and a walk-in closet that opens directly into the laundry room (convenient!).

Upstairs, secondary bedrooms offer spacious accommodation to guests or family members. A loft in the middle could become a peaceful reading area or a spot for games.

The lower level holds quite a bit of storage, along with parking and even a safe room.
