  I'd consider reworking the laundry room/master bath and closet so there could be access to the laundry room from the closet. I like this plan!

  Being a lady who enjoys the study of house design this is a great home with options for some of the rooms double uses. The extra sink area upstairs would be nice for a stack washer dryer and small sink for cleaning using a bucket.

  Perfect Plan for us! Great space in the mud room area! What are other options for ceilings in dining room and master bedroom? Don't love a tray ceiling. Also the outside is busy, we like a clean, white, Hardi Plank Farmhouse. Any suggestions?

    Hi Susan! Those would both be easy changes! If you don't like a tray ceiling, you could just make it flat, you could do a coffered ceiling, or you could add beams. For the exterior, you can definitely simplify the materials and use vertical and/or horizontal siding. Neither of these are structural changes so you can typically work out the details with your builder.

  Excellent plan. Placement of the screened porch and bedrooms is perfect. I would need this flipped and with a walkout basement. We also need to extend the garage to enable courtyard entry. When pulling the garage out from the house more, then there would be room for a larger pantry, a better mudroom with room for dog space and man door access to the front porch.

      How could I get a cost estimate on the changes I suggested?

        Hi, Natashia. Since this is a conceptual design, you would need to purchase the plan first and then once the original design is completed you can submit a modification request form. Feel free to contact our costumer service team for more information on how this process works. 1-800-388-7580.

  I really like it... everything I am looking for. I like the kitchen and dining room as is... if I have a dinner party and need to spread tables into the great room, the current layout will make that easier. Only changes would be to make the kitchen a smidge bigger (I am a baker so I would need room for a second oven). And eliminate the two story foyer... why heat space that's unusable. I really like two bedrooms upstairs and two bedrooms down. You could do something really creative with the doors leading from the dining room to the mud room. I think it has a lot of potential.

  What are the dimensions of the front porch on this one?

    Hi Amanda. Since this is a conceptual design, we do not have exact measurements for the front porch yet. But, in comparison to The Ferris plan 1405, we can estimate that it will be around 20'0" x 8'0".
