Rugged stone adds unmistakable character and beauty to a home’s exterior. As the plans below prove, even a little stone can add lots of curb appeal and an upscale look.
A Grand Entrance
This house combines stone accents with gable peaks for a stunning facade. The grand portico leads to an open floor plan, which is equally impressive. The first-floor master suite is located in the quiet zone with no rooms above it. Upstairs, a balcony overlooks the great room. The bonus room features convenient second-floor access and shares a full bath with two upstairs bathrooms. For more images, information, and the floor plan, click here.
More Than a Pretty Face
Stone and shingle create a beautiful, earthy exterior to this family home. From the covered porch entryway to the grilling porch at the rear, the layout offers plenty of spacious opportunities for togetherness. A magnificent balcony lends views of the great room, where a fireplace warms the space and well-placed windows offer natural lighting. A cut-out snack counter provides interaction with the kitchen while maintaining room definition. The first-floor master suite enjoys a private computer center and large walk-in closet. Other thoughtful amenities include a clever kid’s nook tucked away near the laundry room with a built-in bench to stash toys. For more images, information, and the floor plan, click here.
Small Home, Big Impression
This small plan demonstrates how even a modest use of stone makes a big impact. Gables of varying sizes dress up an otherwise-simple roof, adding budget-friendly curb appeal. Inside, views from the foyer lead straight back through the great room’s windows. This space opens up to the island kitchen and a cozy hearth area. Three bedrooms wait on the right side of the plan, including the master suite with its private bath and walk-in closet. For more images, information, and the floor plan, click here.
Stone Luxury
This stunning stone, brick, and stucco façade introduces a luxurious interior that, surprisingly, occupies only 2,354 square feet. Bay windows enhance several rooms, including the well-appointed master suite. The great room opens to the generous island kitchen and the rear porch. Two more bedrooms share a full bath on the far right. For more images, information, and the floor plan, click here.
