Nestled within a tranquil, wooded setting, the Carnation 2 house plan brings modern comfort to traditional roots. This thoughtfully designed 1 story home blends the charm of a Country Plan with practical Ranch Elements, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional living for families or individuals seeking single-level convenience. A wide front porch stretches across the front elevation, inviting relaxation and neighborly chats while also giving the exterior a welcoming, farmhouse flair. Vertical siding painted in a rich blue tone contrasts beautifully with the warm, natural wood beams and crisp white trim, perfectly capturing the rural-inspired aesthetic.
As you step inside through the centrally located front door, you're welcomed into a grand, open living area that immediately showcases the vaulted ceiling, enhancing the sense of spaciousness. This central hub of the home flows effortlessly into the kitchen and dining area, forming a cohesive and airy layout that supports both everyday life and entertaining. The kitchen, with its large island, built-in pantry, and view of the rear patio, forms the heart of the home, making meal prep and social interaction seamless. The vaulted ceilings continue into the dining space, where natural light floods in from the back, linking indoor and outdoor living.
The Carnation 2 plan includes a total of three bedrooms, all smartly arranged to offer privacy and comfort. The master bedroom, situated on the left side of the home, boasts a 9-foot ceiling, spacious layout, and not one but two walk-in closets. The adjoining master bath features dual sinks, a private toilet area, and a roomy shower, ensuring a luxurious retreat for the homeowners. On the opposite side of the house, Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2 provide ideal spaces for children, guests, or even hobby rooms, sharing a conveniently located hall bathroom. Each bedroom comes with ample closet space and natural light, making them cozy yet functional.
Also tucked into the left wing of the home is a dedicated office, ideal for remote work, homework, or crafting. This additional room enhances the livability of the plan, offering flexibility for evolving household needs. Across from the kitchen, the laundry room features built-in shelving, washer and dryer hookups, and direct access to the concrete stoop, serving as a practical drop zone for muddy boots and groceries.
The rear patio, stretching 21 feet across, extends the home’s living space outdoors, ideal for BBQs, morning coffee, or evening stargazing. This rear-facing outdoor area is partially covered, providing shelter while still connecting seamlessly to nature. The layout makes excellent use of the home’s 50-foot by 40-foot footprint, showcasing the efficiency and simplicity at the heart of Ranch Elements.
The Country Plan influence continues through thoughtful details like the wooden posts, gable roofline, and connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. With everything arranged on one level, the 1 story design ensures long-term accessibility and convenience, accommodating various stages of life. Whether you're a growing family, downsizing couple, or someone simply seeking the harmony of modern comforts and timeless architecture, the Carnation 2 meets the moment.
With its inviting façade, well-balanced floor plan, and combination of Three bedroom practicality and Country Plan style, the Carnation 2 blends charm and efficiency. It’s a serene retreat grounded in simplicity—yet rich in the everyday luxuries that make a house feel like home.
