Pine Tree

Pine Tree joins a big garage wing and a roomy house in one easy line. The garage holds two cars with a workbench running the full back wall, and you come in through a mudroom with lockers and a bench. A small covered porch with a timber gable marks the front door, and the entry opens into a living room, dining room and kitchen that run front to back. The kitchen has a long island that seats four, a walk in pantry and a laundry room right beside it, and a door off the dining room leads out to a back deck. The primary suite is the showpiece: a 15 by 23 bedroom with room for a sitting area, a 7 by 15 bath with a tub and a separate shower, and an 8 by 15 walk in closet. Bedrooms 2 and 3 sit on the garage side with a full hall bath and a powder room nearby. Outside it is white board and batten with a stucco garage wing. Good to know: the front porch is small and there is no foyer.

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. 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths sit on one level, with 2 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.
