Spring means new beginnings and often a renewed commitment to organization. What if you could capture that feeling in a house plan?

This 1,965-square-foot design presents a relaxed, open layout that makes it easy to stay tidy.

Start with the utility zone near the garage. A separate side entrance makes it a snap to head in or out from a brisk walk without trekking dirt through the rest of the home. Nearby, the walk-in pantry keeps groceries organized within reach of the kitchen island. More storage abounds throughout the home.

Adaptability matters too. Note how the study/fourth bedroom features two entrances, one from the foyer and the other from the hallway near the other bedrooms, to allow for the different needs of working from home versus hosting guests. The one-story layout also makes this floor plan a smart choice for buyers who may want to age in place later.
