Holly Farmhouse
Overview of Home Plans
This classic farmhouse is a perfect home for those of you who want to maximize space but finish it off in phases. The main entryway is off the side of the house replacing the formal front door with glass french doors leading to a covered patio. The mudroom is the typical “room with doors” catching dirt and creating a place to kick off your shoes when entering the house from either the outside, garage or main house. With a large bench, full height cabinetry and a large walk-in closet, this is the epitome of function. There is an oversized two car garage off one side and then a short hallway to the kitchen, dining and living room. These home plans include a first-floor guest suite tucked off to the side by the mudroom for privacy and a full bath. A beautiful sunroom with tall windows, cathedral ceiling and gas stove provides a wonderful place to relax and read. Access to the covered patio is from the Sunroom, Dining and Living Room. There is a large deck off the Living Room as well, connecting gracefully to the patio.
On the second floor, the primary suite is off to the right side from the staircase with a walk-in closet and bathroom with clawfoot tub and luxurious shower. There are three bedrooms that all have creative built-ins. The upstairs full bath is accessed through the laundry room for convenience.
Behind the Name: As an evergreen tree, in ancient times a symbol of fertility and eternal life, thought to have magical powers. Today, most people view farmhouses to also possess these powers. Typically, these homes are a significant part of family and the magic that happens in the privacy of one’s home. White the holly leaves provide protection so does this home from the covered patio to the cozy built-ins.
