Pinecone Trail Updated Farmhouse Style House Plan 7382

We started our build with Pine Cone Trail house plan May 6, 2020 and moved in April 2, 2021. Getting the house plan was easy after purchase as we chose the pdf option. Our only issue was needing to have some modifications and that process was pretty slow and got us a little behind while we waited. We had to make a modification for property elevation with a side walkout. We love our new home. We chose this plan because of the in-law suite and the great layout. As a multi-generation household, the in-law suite makes this house perfect. We only made a few modifications but I think a couple of them were big ones to make for anyone considering this plan. We opened up the door to the hallway from the breakfast area to a six foot opening. I cannot imagine the flow through that area working well with a regular door opening. We also made the island one foot shorter to give more room to walk if people were sitting at the table. We dropped the ceilings everywhere except the great room to nine foot instead of ten feet, for cost savings (nine feet is really big enough). We made the dining room an office and reversed, what was listed as a coffee station for the great room, into a closet for the office. We removed the stairs to the upstairs as we did not want two stories. It gave us a beautiful opened hallway with iron spindle railings around the stairs to the basement. We took out the tub for the master bathroom and made a larger shower with a seat. We removed the side window of bedroom 2 and one of the small windows in bedroom 3 to allow for more wall space since they are fairly small bedrooms. (The kids are LOVING their own bathrooms.) With the basement being so large, we also added a utility garage downstairs for the mower, tools, and bikes; leaving the AMAZING three car garage for the cars. We screened in the back porch and have enjoyed our evenings in the country!
