A Woman’s Perspective - Home Plan

Michelle found her ideal home plan; she made a few tweaks and now it’s perfect!

Homeowner’s Profile: Michelle and her husband, David, have two girls, ages seven and eleven. They frequently host family-get-togethers, so increasing the flow of the family room, eating area and kitchen was particularly important.

Modifications Michelle made to the Barretts Bend, #8036:

  1. Squared off the back of the home to widen the kitchen in order to add a center island with a snack bar.

  2. Enlarged the garage.

  3. Separated the entry from the laundry room and expanded the laundry room to provide a larger storage area.

  4. Added a drop zone in the rear foyer.

  5. Changed the half bath so the entry is off the rear foyer.

  6. Changed the formal living room to an office with French doors; changing the bay window to a single, large window.

  7. Added a linen closet in the master bath.

  8. Stretched Bedrooms 2 and 4 to the back (over the addition downstairs).

  9. Created a large, separate vanity area in the upstairs bath – with a linen closet between the vanities.
