Craftsman Plan with Bright Natural Light

Beautiful windows seize the eye on the exterior of this Arts and Crafts-inspired home plan

Banks of triple windows and a strip of stationary windows above the front porch gleam with a crisp welcome and offer hints to the light-filled interior

The front porch, anchored by flared pillars atop ledgestone pedestals offers a transitional respite

Beyond the front door, the dining room, great room, and kitchen draw you in to the open living areas

Light spills into the dining room from windows on two walls, dissolving any hint of stuffiness

Casual Sunday brunches and elegant holiday parties are equally at home in the kitchen, where a long island delineates work and eating areas and a large pantry provides plenty of storage

A bump-out window in the breakfast nook can include a built-in seat or simply provide extra floor space

From the nook, a set of French doors opens to the back porch, which includes an outdoor fireplace

The master suite wing joins the living areas on the main level

The bedroom and an office flank a private hallway

Built-ins - a desk in the office and bookshelves in the bedroom - supply focal points in each room

Three additional bedrooms, two baths, a storage area, and a bonus room are on the upper level

The bonus room has many options: it can become a hang-out space for the kids or an exercise room for the whole family.
