This quintessential Mountain Rustic house plan is highlighted with an exterior that showcases a love of the outdoors and simple rustic design features. Rough-hewn lumber beams highlight the exterior with rustic comfort and textural depth; these thick boards add a sense of timelessness and antique quality to the home’s exterior appearance. This refined rustic appeal is further enhanced with the addition of a side silo, overhead window dormers, and an oversized stone chimney with firewood storage holder and shed compartment. The silo not only adds rustic appeal but is a functional part of the overall design as it features a staircase from the first to the second floor and back again. On the opposite side of the home is a massive outdoor pavilion, measuring in excess of 44’ x 24’, with an outdoor fireplace and overhead roof; perfect for entertaining, relaxing and hosting all manner of get-togethers, social events, and special occasion celebrations. The pavilion could also double as an outdoor sleeping lodge with plenty of room for overnight guests and family members who have a love of nature and the outdoors. The interior floor plan features approximately 1,288 square feet of living space on two floors with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main living floor features a total of four French door entry and exit points, either to the front yard or onto the outdoor living pavilion making this space ideal for indoor/outdoor entertaining. The open concept layout includes a spacious living room, adjacent dining room, and an L-shaped kitchen at the rear of the space. A wood-burning fireplace is a perfect accompaniment to the living and dining space for those chilly mornings and brisk evenings. The laundry room is located on the main level as well as a full bathroom with a shower, sink area, and toilet space. Down the hallway is the silo staircase to the second floor of the home. The upper-level layout is comprised of two bedrooms, a bathroom, and generous storage/closet space. Bedroom one features good floor space with window views and a walk-in closet while bedroom two is slightly larger with window views, a walk-in closet, and access to the private outdoor balcony. On the rear of the hallway are a bathroom with vanity space, a toilet area, and a tub/shower combination. Flanking the bathroom are two oversized closets with plenty of storage and mechanical space. This Mountain Rustic charmer features an eclectic exterior with massive entertaining space, a functional and practical interior layout and plenty of character and aesthetic appeal for nature lovers.
