This is a William Poole house, and he has several versions -- slightly larger /different kitchen /with a garage -- you might want to see those "first cousin plans" too.

As for this one, I think it's a very cute exterior, and -- with its simple footprint -- it'd be inexpensive to build. Other specific thoughts on the layout:

- Yeah, I'm not crazy about a kitchen by the front door. It feels kind of like a beach house in that regard. That is, it seems to keep the back for the best views.

- I like the staircase's location. I like the way the sofa fits in /seems cozy.

- I think the biggest issue is that the dining area is too narrow. I'd want to add 2-4' to the depth of the house so the table would allow for better circulation. It would also allow for a larger shower OR a larger closet, whichever appeals to you most. Plus the storage /linen closets would expand a bit.

- I don't like that the powder room is in such a public spot. I think I'd flip the washer/dryer to the exterior wall ... and open the powder room door from the laundry room. In a house this size, I'd also look into the possibility of opening the powder room into the master bath so that it could serve both the master bath AND the main house.

- Thumbs up on the natural light throughout the house ... though I'd want to double the upstairs bedrooms' windows.

- Not loving the upstairs bath so much.

jethro479 did you end up building a sugarberry? We are also interesting in this plan

This is one of those plans where the neighbor across the street may have the opportunity to see the full moon set through the center dormer.
