Hundreds of ideas to give you the most house for your building dollar.Efficient family comfort with space for entertaining is the backbone of this traditional design. A front covered porch shelters from sun and rain and marks the perfect spot for a pair of rocking chairs. Inside, the foyer opens into the gathering room with a fireplace that also warms the dining area. Sliding glass doors let guests move freely from the dining area to the wide entertainment terrace. Whether it's snacks or a banquet, the location of the kitchen makes light work of serving: it shares the snack bar with the gathering room and is flanked by the dining room and breakfast nook. The bedrooms are located to the right of the plan. The master suite includes two walk-in closets, a bath with a garden tub and a double-bowl vanity, a dressing area and sliding glass doors that open to the terrace. Two family bedrooms at the front of the plan share a hall bath.
