Variable Star

Variable Star is built around a real home office, tucked right off the entry with its own sliding doors and a front window. Step in from the 34 foot covered porch and the office sits on your right, with a powder room and mechanical room on your left. Straight ahead, the living room opens up at the center of the house and flows into the dining room, where sliding glass doors lead out to a 15 by 8 rear deck. The kitchen anchors the far corner with an island, a range wall, a sink under the window, and a walk-in pantry. Laundry sits right off the kitchen with a utility sink and its own window. The primary suite runs along the back with a walk-in closet and a bath with a tub. Bedrooms 2 and 3 each get a closet and share a hall bath. Outside, it reads classic barndo: white board and batten, a dark standing seam roof, and cedar porch posts. Good to know: all three bedrooms sit on the same side of the house, the primary bath shows a tub with no separate shower, and there is no garage or shop.

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.

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.
