On our most foodie holiday, kitchen-centric home layouts feel more on-trend than ever. These floor plans make room for everyone to help out with huge islands and plenty of casual seating.
Both classic and modern, this farmhouse presents an open layout that’s full of amenities. The split-bedroom configuration gives plenty of privacy to the master suite, which opens via French doors to the lanai. Double walk-in closets and a luxurious bathroom with a large shower complete this private retreat. Across the home, two more bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath. The office provides a bright space for working or hobbies. In the middle of the home, the extra-wide island invites everyone to gather in the kitchen. This area flows without interruption into the dining and great rooms. See more images, information, and the floor plans.

This home shows off walls of windows, multiple fireplaces, and two levels of outdoor living spaces. At the center of the plan, the dramatic great room opens to the roomy kitchen, which offers plenty of seating and counter space. The first-floor master suite includes a luxurious bathroom with dual vanities and a seated beauty station. A full guest suite comfortably accommodates visitors. On the lower level, three family bedrooms enjoy a media room and their own kitchen, along with a family room and game room for thoroughly entertaining evenings.

The large, open dining room steps out to the back screened porch for easy indoor-outdoor interaction. The master suite presents owners with a bright sitting nook (surrounded on three sides with glass for plenty of natural light), a huge walk-in closet, and a spa-like bathroom with a large shower and two vanities.

Contemporary Style for a Narrow Lot

Sleek, sophisticated, and filled with light, this contemporary home is perfect for a modern family. With its narrow footprint, the plan fits nicely into a tight city lot. The walled courtyard creates a private outdoor living area that flows easily inside via the flexible dining room. Clerestory windows, high horizontal windows on side walls, large rear windows, and a wall that stops short of the ceiling (to share light from the front of the house) bring natural daylighting into the rooms. Awning roofs and large roof overhangs shade walls and windows. Inside, the living room combines with the kitchen to form a big, casual gathering space. Also on this level, bedroom 2 serves as a versatile guest suite or office, with a full bathroom just steps away. See more images, information, and the floor plans.
