Crossroads

Crossroads is built around one clear line: walk in the front doors and you can see straight through the house to the back porch, with covered porches running the full 60 feet on both sides. Inside, the living room, dining and kitchen open up as one big room, with a long island, a range wall and the sink under the front windows. Tucked behind the kitchen you get a scullery, a walk in pantry, a laundry room and a mudroom that leads right into the garage. The primary suite sits on the far end with a walk in closet, a double vanity, a soaking tub and a walk in shower, and a media room sits right off the living room. Three more bedrooms line the back of the house alongside an office, two full baths and a powder room. Then there is the garage wing: room for four cars, plus a 12 by 14 workshop and its own mechanical room. Good to know: there is no formal foyer, the front doors open straight into the living space, and the bedrooms are grouped together rather than split.

Crossroads is drawn at a 42 foot clear span and 81 feet long, which puts 2,550 square feet of heated living beside 174 square feet of shop under the same roof line. The shop is treated as a real room here, not leftover space: 0 overhead doors, 10 foot side walls, and a 5:12 pitch that keeps the ridge at 18.8 feet.

The structure is post frame, so the load path is simple and the interior walls are mostly partitions. That matters when you want to move a wall later, and it matters when a framing crew prices the shell. 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths sit on one level, with 4 garage bays.

What you buy here is the document set. It is not a home, not a bid, and not a price to build. Your cost depends on your county, your site, your finishes, and who swings the hammer.
