Looking at the Lyndon beach house plan, visitors and passersby are transported to their favorite coastal hideaway; regardless of where the Lyndon is constructed. This charming small beach house, at 1120 square feet, offers everything needed for a perfect getaway and blends well in a coastal landscape. A large covered front porch welcomes visitors to the house.

The front porch offers ample space for a comfortable seating area and is the perfect spot to sit and watch the waves crash onto the shore. A wooden swing hung from the ceiling swaying gently in the breeze would be a charming addition.

Inside the open floor plan lends to the spacious feeling. The great room is the heart of the Lyndon house plan and is comprised of the living area, dining nook, and kitchen. The kitchen is well appointed with modern appliances and boasts an island with raised eating bar which adds to the available seating while providing some visual separation.

A hallway off the great room leads to where two bedrooms are located. The rooms are cozy yet offer enough space for a queen-size bed. Separating the bedrooms is a full bathroom. One bedroom could serve as the master bedroom if desired. A pocket door slides to reveal a walk-in closet and just steps away is a private en-suite with walk-in shower.

At the back of the great room, a staircase leads up to the unfinished bonus room on the extra level of this 1.5 story home design. This room is a blank canvas for homeowners to finish as they please. Possible uses for this space include a guest room, hobby/craft space, exercise studio or a family room.

The L-shaped porch space and double French doors along the great room and nook make the Lyndon design a great option for those who enjoy outdoor living. With ample room for a grill station and lounge furniture the outdoors can blend seamlessly into the home.

The Lyndon is a perfect retreat for those seeking peace and relaxation. The design offers everything that one would need for a comfortable stay as a vacation home or as a year-round residence. This home offers homeowners a sense of sanctuary and will serve to disconnect from the hustle and bustle and reconnect with yourself or with friends or family.

The days are growing longer and brighter and with the extra light comes a renewed interest in the outdoors. The early flowers and leaves have us excited for summer holidays and retreats to the beach, mountains, river, or the city – anywhere that inspires us to relax and enjoy. With that excitement we have vacation home plans and cabins on our minds. Here are four new plans that will have you ready to plan your next build that will enhance your summer fun.

Plan 64262

The Sugar Top Mountain is a 2000 square foot single level design ideal for those looking for a vacation home that captures their favorite outdoor playground. Whether that is the mountains, rivers, or lakes, this window rich floor plan has a distinct modern look with its multi-angled shed roof. At the core of the home is a large, vaulted great room which is completely open to the well-appointed kitchen. On warm summer evenings the French doors open the space up to the generously sized rear vaulted porch. Bedrooms frame the great room. To the right are two secondary bedrooms which share a full bathroom with the living space. While on the left, is the master bedroom with private bathroom and direct access to the back deck.

Plan 53077

If a secondary home somewhere in the forest or along the side of a lake is your idea of a summer vacation well spent, then look no further than Plan 53077. This tiny house plan offers 850 square feet across one story. The open floor plan is filled with windows and sliding glass doors allowing the home to live outdoors when the weather allows. At the back of the living area are two bedrooms separated by a full bathroom.

Plan 74817

Those looking for a timeless vacation home, the Montana Cabin B offers a 1459 square foot floor plan wrapped in a Craftsman exterior. A charming blend of decorative gable ends, shingles, and stone draws you towards the cozy covered porch and the front door. This vacation getaway offers owners flexibility to grow as either the family expands, or the love of the vacation destination draws you back for longer periods of time. The walk-out basement offers an optional floor plan to finish at a later date that increases the three-bedroom home to a five bedroom floor plan with two living rooms. Those looking to split a vacation destination with friends or family may choose to finish the walk-out level during the initial construction as the second kitchen would allow two families to stay at the same time with some independence from each other.

Plan 95793

Those looking for a luxury escape – or a year-round residence that makes every day feel like a vacation – will want to look at Plan 95793. This three-story design offers 4713 square feet with 5 bedrooms spread across an open-concept floor plan. The main floor is filled with a great room which is lined with windows and can be opened to the covered deck along the right side of the house. Those finding themselves spending more than a week or two will appreciate the office space to keep up on the steady stream of emails. Three bedrooms can be found on the second floor along with the laundry room. The master bedroom takes up most of this space and boasts a walk-in closet and luxurious private bath with twin sinks, soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. Above the attached two car garage is a guest space that includes another bedroom plus a separate living area with kitchen and a full bathroom. Larger families will love the walk-out basement which includes another living area with a wet bar, flex and storage space, plus another bedroom.

The Keystone is much larger than it looks from the front. This two-level contemporary Craftsman bungalow offers nearly 3,000 square feet of living space. Tapered stone veneer twin-column supports, decorative gable accents, and characteristic windows combine to create that nostalgic Craftsman look.

It’s designed for construction on a lot that slopes down on the right and to the rear. Approximately a third of the indoor living area is in the daylight basement, which is invisible from the front.

A window-bright vaulted great room sits at the core of the main floor, directly ahead of the wide foyer. Gathering spaces, formal and informal, fill the left wing, while a luxurious owners’ suite takes up most of the right wing.

Double doors next to the foyer lead into an expansive room brightened by a bay window. This could be furnished as a parlor, den, home office, or whatever suits. It has a roomy storage closet.

Flames in the see-through fireplace can be enjoyed from the dining room, kitchen, and nook as well as the great room. Kitchen features include: a long, flush eating bar and roomy walk-in pantry, along with generous cupboard and counter space. Windows in front of the sink overlook a covered deck.

The spa tub in the luxurious owners’ suite is centrally located, allowing one person to chat with another in the sleeping area or lavatory room while soaking away the day’s tensions. Other amenities include: dual vanities, private toilet, and a large walk-in closet.

Two more bedrooms are in the Keystone’s basement, along with a generously sized utility room and a spacious family room with another fireplace. Sliding glass doors open onto a covered patio.

Shingle siding, Craftsman-style windows and stone veneer column supports put a warm, natural face on the contemporary Glenhaven. Inside this small home, wide expanses of glass brighten the vaulted family gathering spaces that flow together at the rear.

Entering via the covered porch, you step into a hallway that leads straight ahead to the expansive vaulted area. Along the way, you pass double doors on the right that open into a den. Its location makes it ideal for a home office. It could also be outfitted as a guest room, fourth bedroom, art studio, exercise room, or whatever suits.

Two nearly identical bedrooms and a bathroom are to the left of the entry hall. One has a front window; the other has a side window.

The vaulted ceiling in the living/dining area slopes up from the entry hall, then down at the rear. A direct vent gas fireplace nestles into one rear corner. On the opposite side of the room, a peninsular eating bar bounds the kitchen. Sliding glass doors in the dining area access a partially covered patio flanked by slender posts. The covered area could be screened, if desired.

A roomy walk-in pantry fills one corner of the step-efficient kitchen. Standing at the double sink, kitchen workers can gaze across the patio at the rear yard, or scan the gathering spaces to keep tabs on activities.

The Glenhaven’s owners’ suite is down a passageway on the right of the entry hall, just past the den and coat closet. Suite amenities include a roomy walk-in closet and a two-section bathroom with dual vanity. A storage closet and a utility room that links with the garage are accessed via the owners’ suite hallway.
