House Plan of the Week: Trick-or-Treat Porch

This new farmhouse design feels right for the season.

2 MIN READ

Plan 455-679 from Houseplans.com showcases modern rustic curb appeal, including a generous porch.

House plans for families don’t have to have porches but around Halloween, they sure do add to the ambiance.

Here’s a new design that feels like a move-up but without the wasted space. It’s got 2,645 square feet of living space, much of that devoted to the open gathering areas like the casual kitchen.

The kitchen opens to a breezy breakfast nook with enough space for a large table. Step out to the back porch from here.

Let’s look at the floor plan. Porches add indoor/outdoor living on three sides of the home: in front (where Halloween decorations can enliven the neighborhood), in back (just off the dining area), and on the side (connecting to a mudroom).

The main suite showcases a streamlined private bathroom with two sinks and a shower.

Upstairs, four additional bedrooms provide plenty of space for an active family (or anyone who needs a lot of space for visitors, hobbies, working from home, etc.). Each room sports a large walk-in closet. A loft adds more space for relaxation.
