Check out the open-concept kitchen that sports two large prep areas: one a large island with a cooktop and a fun rounded seating area, and the other connecting to the screened porch. There's also a "lake room" on one side of the screened porch and a den on the other, providing you with a variety of spaces from which to enjoy the view while working or relaxing.

This design continues to delight with a lavish upstairs primary suite, which sports dual vanities, a separate (corner) tub and shower, a special dressing area, and a roomy walk-in closet. Also note how the laundry room lives upstairs, near all of the bedrooms for maximum convenience.

Finally, be sure to note the optional guest apartment above the garage, which opens up even more possibilities.

This two-story contemporary plan offers four or five bedrooms. If you think you'll need extra garage storage, go with the four bedroom option.

When you look at this floor plan you may not be able to take your eyes of its super-chic main-level primary suite.

Just change that space into something else—perhaps a home office or a den.

Other cool call-outs include: strategic placement of the walk-in pantry and laundry room next to the garage entrance, front and rear porches for outdoor living, and an upstairs game room.
