Full House: Large Country Home Plans for Entertaining Families!

 

A house is more than a place to call home.  It is an investment for your family’s future.  It’s more than just investing in the stock market.  A bad decision can cost you tons of money.  The same is true if you choose a home design which does not suit your lifestyle.  I usually ask clients if they would want a home built for outdoor living and entertaining opportunities.

This country house plan is made especially for couples who love to entertain families and friends at home.  It gives both the country feel and the brightness of big and open spaces with its wrap-around porch located on the front of the house.  This is one of the best features of the house, which is just perfect for your summer gatherings.

There’s also a nice covered patio on the back, which is suitable for barbeque parties. Conversation and other activities with friends can be done here with either porch swings or a pair of rocking chairs.  This space can be an outdoor retreat so you can spend a quiet afternoon with an open view of nature.  It’s nice to see some features of the house being able to work out as the number of your family members increases too.  Personally, I would also like to have an area wherein we could spend time with each other dilly-dallying or that would serve as a protection from weather condition like the covered front porches and patio could offer.  This house plan could work out on both purposes. The gingerbread accent on the gable gives this house plan an over-all style and appeal. It has interesting window roof lines and window treatment to add pizzazz to your home.

How about inviting your neighbors for a coffee or just to socialize?  The full width of the great room is another living space ideal for indoor gatherings or formal entertaining.  A large sofa and a fireplace will complete the country feel of the home.  Will you need another room for overnight guests?  An extension would be ideal on the second floor with loft.  This part of the house is very important for me since I love families and friends coming over for the holidays.  That’s why it’s important to include a provision for bonus rooms in case you’d like to create a kid’s play room or just another entertainment area.

Most new home owners prefer home plans with more privacy.  I’m sure you’d like the master bedroom and other personal living spaces discreetly located on less accessible parts of the house. The master bedroom is separated from the rest of the other rooms and it features walk-in showers and walk-in closets for his and hers.

In addition to these features, a large laundry room with wash tub is also available. This is most important for bigger families.  Having these pluses in this house plan gives you the best return on your home selection when it’s time to cash in your nest egg!
