Garage Wrap

This is one of my favorite floor plans. I don't know about you, but one of the things I really appreciate about a home design is a quiet bedroom. Grampa Tom is an early morning person and I am a night owl. For years and years our bedroom shared a wall with the main family area of the house. In our current house, the TV room is a bedroom at one side of the house and my bedroom is on the other side. I am a much happier camper as a result!

How do you get 3 quiet bedrooms in a 1903 square foot home? You wrap it around a garage!

The master suite of this home is tucked away on the west side of a generous two car garage.The master bath has a large garden size tub, a double sink and the toilet is tucked back in the corner so that the walk-in master bedroom closet muffles those midnight flushes  :) 

Just off the master bedroom is a large mud room with a walk-in closet, large walk-in shower and a private toilet nook. It opens out to the sun room which is heated by a rocket stove mass heater with a hot tub providing the mass. It also has easy access to the garage and family room. 

The garage is 28' x 28', leave it as is or if you want a basement, put the stairs in there. I put the door the door to the basement in the garage, but you could easily put it in the family room too. 

The family room is separated from the large country kitchen by a half wall. 

The kitchen features a professional range, built in refrigerator and freezer units, a wall oven  and a large pantry that could be re-enforced to make a storm room if you didn't want a basement. It also has double doors out to the sun room (which also has double doors) making moving furniture in and out easier. 36 inch doors though out the home and a wide hallway also facilitate this. This home is also very handicap friendly.

The east wing of this home has 2 bedrooms that are buffered from the hustle and bustle of family life by the space of a living room and generous closets. A 3/4 bath with a shower serves both the bedrooms and guests.  The living room is open to the kitchen, making for awesome parties where the cook is never exiled!

Hope you've had fun dreaming with me!
