house plan

If there's one thing we know about house plans, it's this: Readers love a home that fits the needs of a growing family. If the plan allows you to entertain inside and out, all the better. Pine Ridge boasts all of the above.

The first floor offers an accessible, spacious layout. An open kitchen expands into a large family room. The master bedroom might just be the most luxurious space in the house, with its private entrance to a screened porch and plentiful closet space. The study can be any workspace you want: an at-home business, quilting room, library, or craft corner. Downstairs are two additional bedrooms and an entertainment room.

With two porches, a double-level screened porch, a deck, and a sunroom, this country home also encourages a love for the outdoors. You'll never lack a spot to spread out a lounge chair or set up a table for an alfresco feast. ANN E. STRATTON
