Elmstead Front Porch Revival Design

This is a compact two-story family house plan with 1,688 sq ft across two efficient floors. The layout is clear, practical, and not trying to win a maze competition.

The facade has a modern Craftsman character with a strong front gable, generous covered porch, and sturdy timber posts set on stone bases. The lower level uses light horizontal lap siding, while the upper level shifts to gray board-and-batten siding for a crisp vertical rhythm. Dark trim, black-framed windows, and a warm wood entry door add contrast. The roof is a dark shingle gable roof with broad overhangs and exposed bracket accents.

  • Total area: 1,688 sq ft
  • Bedrooms: 3
  • Bathrooms: 1 full bathroom and 1 powder room
  • Floors: 2

The main floor measures 30 ft by 30 ft and provides 855 sq ft of interior floor area. It is organized around a welcoming front foyer, open living and dining zones, and a rear kitchen with direct deck access. The utility spaces are tucked neatly to the side, because laundry deserves privacy too.

  • Dining Room: 182 sq ft
  • Kitchen: 208 sq ft
