The 24 Series Plan 1

Sorry, this house plan has nothing to do with the popular series "24". It's just descriptive of the dimensions of this house! Basically, I've taken three 24 x 24 foot sections that could be moved in as six 12 x 24 foot modules and created floor plans from them. This is just one of many designs. I'm not terribly creative in naming my house designs. Where do professional designers get them from anyway? The phone book?

This 1703 square foot house is designed with a cradle to grave mindset.

The master bedroom is hidden away at the furthest corner of the house giving maximum privacy. A walk thru closet connects it to a bath that is also connected to the laundry room. This closet, as well as the other bedroom closets are made with reinforced concrete for storm protection. The bathroom here has separate sinks that can be made to different heights for Mom and Dad.

The master bedroom opens into a multi-purpose area that can change as your family's needs change. First a nursery, then a sitting room where Mom and Dad can enjoy some privacy as the children grow, or possibly even becoming a home office with a public entry for enterprising entrepreneurs.

The laundry room and sitting room open into the great room. The kitchen area boasts a large wall to ceiling pantry cupboard and plenty of counter space with a sink facing the living area so those doing dishes don't feel left out! There is also a deck off the dining room area for back yard fun.

Across the great room is the bedroom wing. Spacious bedrooms give plenty of room for the 2.5 child family. Once they are grown, these could serve as guest rooms or eventually become a "Granny Wing" and then room for live in help as you grow older.

The Monitor

This is another favorite for "our house". I envision this house in a Monitor style horse barn. The center section would have an elevated roof allowing for light and airflow. In my imagination, these windows can be opened or covered with insulating blinds by remote control for passive solar purposes.

My world revolves around my kitchen. This home has a professional kitchen at the center that easily accesses every other aspect of the home. Pass thru's and doors allow the kitchen to be opened to the living room and family area, but can be shut to provide privacy when entertaining. The office too, is close to the kitchen, yet has an outside entrance for family privacy.

This home has a large pantry/storm room. If a basement is wanted, this room could become a stairwell.

The mudroom has a large walk-in closet, a laundry center with a double laundry sink as well as both a hand sink and mop sink. There are 2 doors into the mudroom to provide both an outside and garage entry.

The master bath features a jacuzzi and a walk-in shower and connects with the mudroom.

This 2387 sq ft home maximizes privacy and access for an enterprising country family!
