Sorry for another house plan thread if this is over done. I've read a couple of others here and I appreciated the solicited advice others received, so I'd like to try for my own. I sent another member a private message about this and he suggested I start a thread, too. So here goes.
This home is for my family. It's my wife and I, plus two young kids. We have about 80 acres we will build on. No real time frame - we're taking it slow and methodical. We've designed this ourselves using "Home Designer Pro". Honestly, this is probably the 20th(+) rough draft. I'm pretty good with the program, but I haven't figured out how to do everything with it (specifically elevations).
We want to keep the total square footage at about 4000 or less. We'll have a finished walk-out basement eventually, but will leave it unfinished for now and finish it ourselves once we've moved in and decided what we need. We want the first floor to be about 2000 and the second one to be about 800 or less.
Other specific features to us include a study/bathroom that can be a first-floor guest room for grandparents. A back stairs (pajama stairs) that will have the basement stairs under it. First floor master suite, too, as you can see.
The first floor is really good for what we want as far as layout, flow, room sizes. The second floor is "OK". I'm stumped on the second floor bathroom.
My retired contractor uncle is looking it over. I'm also waiting on a materials quote from the guy at Meeks. Otherwise we haven't approached local builders, yet.
Hopefully I've attached the images correctly. There's a first and second floor layout, plus 3 exterior 3D images. I'm open to any and all advice, critiques, and constructive criticism.
Thanks,
Nathan
