The Magnolia

The Magnolia is a spacious five-bedroom New England–inspired house plan designed for families looking for generous living space, a flexible first-floor layout, and timeless architectural character. With 1,975 square feet on the first floor and 2,396 square feet on the second floor, the home offers more than 4,300 square feet of above-grade living space, plus an optional finished lower level.

The first floor is centered around an open-concept kitchen, breakfast area, and family room, creating a comfortable everyday gathering space at the heart of the home. A formal dining room with an adjacent butler’s pantry adds a natural space for entertaining, while a separate front study provides a dedicated home office. The first-floor bedroom and full bath add valuable flexibility for guests, extended family, or anyone looking for a main-level bedroom option. A spacious mudroom connects the home to the attached two-car garage and provides a practical transition for everyday living.

Upstairs, the Magnolia features four additional bedrooms, including a substantial primary suite with a large private bath and two walk-in closets. Three secondary bedrooms provide plenty of room for family and guests, while a centrally located second-floor laundry room keeps daily routines convenient.

For homeowners looking for even more space, the lower level layout adds 1,217 square feet with a family room, playroom, home gym, additional bedroom and bath, along with mechanical and storage areas. This added flexibility makes the Magnolia well suited for growing families, recreation space, overnight guests, or multigenerational living.

Outside, the Magnolia combines classic New England residential architecture with a layered, welcoming façade. Clapboard siding, board-and-batten accents, architectural roof shingles, traditional trim details, and a covered front entry give the home a refined character that feels both established and approachable.

With its five-bedroom floor plan, first-floor guest suite, home office, open-concept living spaces, two-car garage, and optional finished basement, the Magnolia offers the space and versatility of a large family home while maintaining the character of a thoughtfully designed New England house plan.
