This home began from the outside in with one of the key design drivers being the traditional farmhouse character style. The grand front porch that embraces the street and the projected gable end mass is the cornerstone of the style. The floor plan design evolved to create a dramatic entrance by using the stairs and volume ceiling to open up the space and then flowing directly into the open concept living. The coat closet and powder are tucked back off a vestibule that also provides access to the home office; this was key in opening up the entry to view directly into the living area and make the whole home live big and open right from the front door.
