The wrap-around porch is all the rage for home seekers these days. It’s a stunning addition to any home. There are so many ways you can utilize a wrap-around porch, from just relaxing with the family to entertaining family, friends, and neighbors. In good weather, this type of porch will get a lot of activity. If a family has kids, it can be used as a play area for the kids and their friends, keeping them out of the way of mom and dad for a while but safely at home.
The wrap-around porch is a style factor for any home. It tends to make the house appear even larger than it is, which is a plus for most people when looking for a home. This type of porch also gives the home an old world kind of feel to it, like in the days of Gone with the Wind. It is a grand addition.

About this Plan
- A covered porch – 8′ deep and 6′ deep by the front bay windows – wraps entirely around this hill country home plan, providing effortless outdoor extension of indoor activities. Two oversized dormers and a substantial stone chimney add character.
- The entry leads into the two-story living room with its fireplace and bay window. The open plan at the living and dining rooms and the kitchen add further appeal.
- A peninsula eating bar separates the living room from the U-shaped kitchen. The adjacent dining room includes a second entrance to the porch.
- In the first-floor master suite, the bay window in the bedroom is the twin of the one in the living room. The compartmented master bath includes twin sinks, separate shower, tub and a walk-in closet.
- Upstairs, a loft overlooks the living room on one side and the dining room on the other. A second full bath and two bedrooms, one with a walk-in closet, complete this floor.
- In the slab and crawlspace versions the laundry is stacked in the closet across from the powder room. In the basement version, you gain a closet when the laundry is in the basement.
- Added Bonus: This house plan comes with plans for a detached two-car garage.
