Welcome to the Brookside, a charming and versatile farmhouse-style garage apartment designed to seamlessly blend rustic aesthetics with modern functionality. This two-story haven, clad in classic batten board, offers a perfect blend of practicality and style, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate the timeless appeal of farmhouse living.
As you approach the Brookside, the exterior immediately catches your eye. The crisp, clean lines of the batten board siding exude a sense of rural charm, evoking images of quaint country homes. The main level of the house, encompassing a generous 1040 square feet, is dedicated to a spacious garage. This garage is a car enthusiast's dream, featuring two large garage doors that provide access to a tandem parking space capable of accommodating up to four vehicles. Whether you're housing a collection of vintage cars or simply need ample space for daily drivers, this garage meets your needs with ease. At the rear of the garage, a storage closet offers convenient space to tuck away tools, seasonal decorations, or other belongings.
Step outside to find a separate entrance leading to the heart of the home. A charming doorway opens into a cozy entryway at the base of the stairs. Here, a thoughtfully designed nook welcomes you with a bench and hooks, perfect for shedding coats and shoes before heading upstairs. The entryway sets a warm and inviting tone, making every arrival feel like a homecoming.
Ascending the stairs, the second floor reveals the main living area, an 890 square foot sanctuary that epitomizes open-concept living. At the top of the stairs, you'll find a utility closet designed to house a stacked washer and dryer, ensuring laundry chores are conveniently handled without infringing on the living space.
The open-concept layout of the second floor unfolds gracefully, encompassing the kitchen, dining area, and living area in one harmonious expanse. Natural light pours in through well-placed windows, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The kitchen, with its efficient layout, offers ample counter space and storage, making meal preparation a delight. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area provides a cozy spot for family meals or intimate gatherings.
The living area is a comfortable retreat, perfect for relaxing with a good book or enjoying a movie night. The seamless flow between these spaces ensures that whether you're cooking, dining, or unwinding, you're always connected to the heart of the home.
Down the hall, a full bathroom awaits, featuring a sleek shower and all the necessary amenities for daily comfort. Continuing along the hallway, you'll discover two well-appointed bedrooms. The first bedroom, ideal for guests or as a home office, offers a serene retreat with ample closet space. At the end of the hall, the larger bedroom beckons with its vaulted ceiling, creating an airy and expansive feel. Dual closets provide generous storage, catering to all your wardrobe needs.
For those who might not need the additional living space immediately, the Brookside offers a unique option. The second floor can be left as an unfinished storage area, providing flexibility for future expansion. This space could easily transform into a workshop, a studio, or additional living quarters, adapting to your evolving needs over time.
In essence, the Brookside is more than just a garage apartment; it's a versatile and inviting home plan that marries practicality with charm. Whether you're looking for a cozy retreat or a flexible space to grow into, the Brookside offers a timeless design that can adapt to your lifestyle, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a farmhouse-style house plan with modern amenities.
