You need fiberglass and a 9500 square foot non McMansioney mansion to go with what you want. It’s a little out of scale and style for a standard 4000sf suburban NeoEclectic.

Can you look at an oversized door instead of double!? When I was looking in to it it said double doors are super inefficient as far as energy efficiency. I could be totally wrong, but the few times I say it I just committed to not wanting double doors.

wood - Where I am, facing west it's a huge no. Unless you're going for the aged weathered look, which you'll have within two years.

9' porch - pay attention to the interior. A porch is effectively a room, and reduces light to the interior spaces.

Double doors - depends on the design, it can seem deliberate and appropriate, or over-the-top mc mansion style.

vertical opening 15'??

Thank you everyone. I have a follow-up question: has anyone heard
of accoya wood? How does that compare to fiberglass? I'm reading that
it is very stable and solid and holds up really really really well with
moisture & sun exposure.

See attached image - the
front elevation of the house. The arrows in red (vertical opening) on
the porch covers about 15'. Hope that helps.

(our house c. 1870 has a double door... its wonderful. most of the time you only have to open *that much* but when you are moving a piano in or renovating a bathroom, it opens 2x *that much*, which is awesome. just sayin'. )

Are you under construction? For a home this grand you select a wood door.

Here's where I get on my small soapbox. A house like this is a MONEY PIT, and since this is Indiana it figures that this trend would be 20 years behind the rest of the country. If you doubt what I post, then read these articles.

Living in Indiana with that complicated roof design you'll be dealing with ice dams in the winter and roof leaks in the valleys in the spring in a few years.

You'll have to hire people to wash your windows, people to clean your home, special people to clean your chandeliers & even people to install your Christmas decorations. Every contractor that comes to your home will up the charges 30% because you have a big house and they figure you can afford it. No kidding ........I saw it a number of times with contractors and my clients.

Based on the size of your windows, just your window treatments, which will all be custom and oversized, could be $30k for starters. And since the front of your home is facing west, the heat load in certain months will up your utility bills. Landscaping to complement this design could run $100k for decent size trees etc. No telling the cost for furnishing because they can't be purchased at Rooms to Go.

You'll find you only live in the kitchen, family room and the bedrooms.

Then the cherry on the sundae is when you go to sell you'll be competing against thousands of other McMansions for sale because there is no longer a middle class moving up the economic ladder to afford these size homes. Of course if you have money to burn, none of this is any concern to you.

Getting off my soapbox : (

aren't you glad you asked a question about doors now? Nice looking house btw.

Beverly is correct. Please don't do the McMansion thing. If you've not yet built, turn back, better late than never. Do I spy a turret?!
