Welcome to the Cumberland, a stunning colonial style house plan that seamlessly blends traditional charm with modern functionality. Spanning 2106 square feet over two stories, this home is thoughtfully designed to cater to the needs of a contemporary family while preserving the timeless elegance that defines a colonial home.
As you approach the Cumberland, its exterior instantly captivates with a harmonious blend of lap siding and brick. Classic windows adorned with shutters and flower-filled window boxes offer a picturesque view, reminiscent of a storybook cottage. The inviting front porch, complete with a charming railing, beckons you to sit and enjoy a quiet moment, setting the stage for the warmth and comfort that lies within.
Stepping through the front door, you are greeted by a welcoming entryway that reflects the home’s graceful design. To your right, the formal living room is an oasis of calm, perfect for hosting guests or enjoying a quiet evening with a book. The room's spaciousness is enhanced by natural light pouring in through large windows, making it a serene space for conversation and relaxation.
On the left, past two elegant pillars that define the space, is the dining room. This area is a tribute to the colonial style’s emphasis on formal spaces, offering a perfect setting for family dinners and holiday gatherings. The dining room effortlessly connects to the kitchen, ensuring that the flow of food and conversation is uninterrupted.
As you continue straight ahead from the entryway, you pass a conveniently located powder room and a well-sized closet, before arriving at the heart of the home—the family room. This space is designed for comfort and togetherness, with a cozy fireplace as its focal point. From the family room, you can step out onto the deck at the back of the house, ideal for alfresco dining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
The kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring a snack bar peninsula that is perfect for casual meals or a quick coffee break. A wall pantry offers ample storage, while the adjacent breakfast area provides a sunny spot to start your day, with a view of the backyard that brings the outdoors in.
The side-entry, two-car garage is easily accessible from the kitchen, making grocery runs and daily commutes hassle-free.
Venturing upstairs, the second floor is dedicated to the private quarters of the home. The master suite is a luxurious retreat, complete with an ensuite bathroom that features a dual sink vanity, a soothing whirlpool tub, a separate shower, and a private toilet area. The spacious walk-in closet provides plenty of storage, ensuring that the master suite remains a tranquil, clutter-free sanctuary.
Down the hall, two secondary bedrooms await, each offering generous space and natural light through two well-placed windows. These rooms are perfect for children, guests, or even a home office. The shared hall bathroom is thoughtfully designed with a tub/shower combination, catering to the needs of the entire family.
Heading down a second hallway, a utility closet, drip-dry area, and linen closets add to the home's practicality, ensuring that everything has its place. At the end of the hallway, a bonus future recreation room offers endless possibilities. Whether you envision a playroom, home theater, or an additional living area, this space adds an extra 318 square feet of potential living space, ready to be customized to your needs.
For those who love to explore every nook and cranny of their home, a second flight of stairs leads up to the attic, providing additional storage space or the potential for future expansion.

Fireworks light the sky with the lavish bursts of color. Amid the oohs and aahs from the crowded gazebo in the town square, we watch the children twirling colorful sparklers in the jet black night – laughing, delighting in the bright circular trails their arms make. Fireworks, sparklers, the 4th of July – what a grand finale to a grand day. We are ever-grateful for our family, our friends and our house – The Cumberland. Life is good.
