Homes face unique challenges in the winter, like coats piling up, boots stomping mud everywhere, and umbrellas dripping snow and rain.
Here's a new home plan with abundant storage throughout the 3,288-square-foot layout.
On the exterior, stone adds rugged texture to the farmhouse styling. Paired porch columns draw the eye to the entry.
Inside, the main level presents an open layout with storage everywhere it's needed. Stash pet supplies in the lockers on the way in from the garage. Groceries have a place in the walk-in pantry (with a window, so you can contemplate snacks by natural light). Even the office gets a walk-in closet.
The main suite sits on this level and shows off a spa-like bathroom that opens to a capacious, two-part closet. In turn, that storage opens directly to the laundry room.
Upstairs, the large loft makes a great playroom or a library. Meanwhile, three bedrooms include walk-in closets. Extra linen storage in the hall is a nice touch.
