Spooky decorations need to go somewhere. These spacious porches do the trick nicely, giving lots of room for seasonal celebrations.

Porch Wraps Around to Mudroom

Bay windows in front and back create light-filled living spaces within. A wraparound porch offers plenty of outdoor living opportunities and opens to both the foyer and the well-organized mudroom. In the main gathering areas, the kitchen’s snack bar overlooks the dining bay and great room, where a wall of windows provides a view of the covered patio. Windows on three sides illuminate the master suite, which also boasts a walk-in closet and deluxe bathroom. Two more bedrooms are situated conveniently close to the laundry room. Don’t miss the bright breakfast bay. See more images, information, and the floor plan.

Outstanding Outdoor Hangouts

Lovers of the outdoors will rejoice to see this open-plan design that sports a barbecue porch, lanai, columned front porch, and a screened breezeway to the optional garage. A kitchen island supplies extra prep room and a snack counter for casual bites. Other mealtime options: the bayed breakfast nook and the formal dining room with plenty of windows. Head back to the private master suite, complete with porch access and a large walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms sit near the front. For more room, take advantage of the huge bonus space upstairs. See more images, information, and the floor plan.

Open Porch in Front, Screened One in Back

This family-friendly home combines old-fashioned charm with a practical, modern layout. The floor plan tucks the master suite on the right side for privacy, with a deluxe bathroom that includes a whirlpool tub, two sinks, and linen storage. Across the home, three more bedrooms share two baths. A snack bar makes it easy to serve up casual meals in the kitchen, with the bright breakfast nook (check out the lovely bay window) nearby. French doors open the great room to the screen porch. Upstairs, you’ll find tons of storage space and a finish-later bonus room. See more images, information, and the floor plan.

Efficient Use of 1,871 Sq. Ft.

The master suite is easy to reach on the main level and offers two sinks, a separate tub and shower, and a large walk-in closet. An island adds extra meal space in the open kitchen. Nearby, a fireplace warms the living room. Three more bedrooms and two baths sit upstairs. The whole family can relax on the front porch after dinner.
