Today\u2019s typical homebuyer is looking for luxury and flexibility during their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/detailed-search\/\">house plan search<\/a>, and the range of outdoor living areas available answer the wants and needs of each customer. For some, a simple patio or deck is perfect, because it extends the scope of the home to more naturally connect to its environment. For others, a covered or screened porch is ideal, because it allows people to relax and enjoy fresh air while out of the sun and protected against insects. And for those who enjoy hosting summer barbecues and want to spend as much time outside as possible, an exterior kitchen is an amazing investment.

The mono-pitched rooflines and uniquely shaped windows support the modern aesthetic, and an open floor plan with split bedrooms carries that atmosphere inside. One of its most noteworthy features is the great room, which is designed with daylighting in mind. There are high windows on three sides of this space to naturally illuminate from above, and folding glass panels form an entire wall that opens to the back terrace. Interior photos show this off very well; you immediately notice just how much this house places a focus on its surroundings. Even sitting inside, you\u2019ll feel a connection to your environment. If you love your land and appreciate this architectural style, you\u2019re lucky to have found this special home!<\/p>\n<p>The outdoor living areas of House Plan 9773 only serve to further its emphasis on its property. Not only does the great room have a big and breezy entrance to the covered portion of the back terrace, but the master bedroom has its own door to the open side. The eave overhanging the folding glass wall provides shelter from the sun and rain, so you can enjoy it in more kinds of weather. There\u2019s also a dedicated grill space, making it just perfect for the summer cookout season. Outfit this back yard living area with some furniture for lounging in the sun and shade, and you\u2019ll definitely find yourself gravitating toward it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 376px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/images\/plans\/DTE\/R1249A2S-0\/R1249A2S-0-REAR.jpg \" width=\"376\" height=\"203\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The charming covered patio of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/3238\/\" target=\"_blank\">House Plan 3238<\/a> has a see-through fireplace that makes a luxurious statement in a small package.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/3238\/\" target=\"_blank\">House Plan 3238: A Compact Home with a Porch for Kicking Back<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For those who don\u2019t need a lot of space but insist their home still has a particularly desirable design, House Plan 3238 is a great choice. With a master suite, one secondary bedroom, an island kitchen with plenty of counter space, and a two-car garage, this home delivers just what many young professionals and empty-nesters need. Of course, there\u2019s a lot more to it\u2014be sure to consider this efficient little Craftsman if you want to live large in style!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s rare to find an outdoor fireplace in such a small home, but it is integrated naturally in this example. The architect actually envisioned a see-through fireplace that can be viewed from both the vaulted great room and the covered patio, providing ambiance and options that still fit into a small footprint. Large windows on either side of this fixture ensure that you still can see the back yard clearly. Doors to the patio can be found through the den and dining nook, flanking it to create a perfectly symmetrical exterior. This is a fantastic place to relax alone or with a couple friends, and it\u2019s novel in that it\u2019s attached to a home that can fit just about anywhere. If you decide to build in a densely developed area, you can enjoy the privacy of the back patio or watch the hustling world go by from the front covered porch\u2014the choice is yours!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 375px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/images2.dfdhouseplans.com\/images\/plans\/AMD\/photos\/2459patio2.jpg \" width=\"375\" height=\"250\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">With an outdoor kitchen and plenty of space for seating, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/8292\/\" target=\"_blank\">House Plan 8292<\/a> is a dream home for a serious summertime host.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/8292\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>House Plan 8292: A French Country Home with Outdoor Kitchen<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A luxury plan with a ton of extras, you\u2019ll find that this refined home is an amazing union of traditional architecture and modern desires.

This area is covered and has enough room for seating, but you can host a dinner party in style with a table on the adjacent patio. The kitchen includes a sink and cabinets for all of your storage needs, so you don\u2019t have to venture inside for anything. There\u2019s a fireplace to draw the eye, and a spot for a grill beside it that is open to provide proper ventilation.

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are neatly packaged into a modest amount of square footage, so it would make a perfect second home or even a primary residence for a small family who really wants an attachment to their environment. House Plan 3824 goes above and beyond with its inclusion of four separate outdoor living areas, and each one serves a different purpose to create a totally well-rounded residence.<\/p>\n<p>The main floor has three points of entry: the covered main entrance porch, a screened porch that attaches to the kitchen, and sliding glass doors that connect the vaulted great room to the expansive deck outside. Inspect the floor plan and you\u2019ll notice that each porch has something special to offer; in front, there\u2019s a standalone shower so you can clean off before coming inside, and in back, the screened porch comes barbecue-ready. The deck is spacious enough to host a gathering and offers direct access to fresh air and sun without really having to leave the comfort of house itself. Finally, the upstairs bedroom suite has a private deck that provides a great place to unwind, rounding out this plan with an amazing mix of indoor and outdoor living areas.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 390px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/images\/plans\/AEA\/uploads\/Grilling.jpg \" width=\"390\" height=\"261\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A homey outdoor living room has been constructed in this build of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/4445\/\" target=\"_blank\">House Plan 4445<\/a>, which shows how this amazing house takes to a flat lot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/4445\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>House Plan 4445: A Popular Home for Both Sloped and Flat Lots<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of our top-selling plans, it\u2019s no wonder so many people love this home! With a subtle Craftsman exterior, open floor plan, split bedroom ranch layout with a luxurious master suite and two secondary bedroom suites, bonus areas above the great room and garage, and ENERGY STAR\u00ae approval, there are plenty of reasons that this house gets noticed. The frontage is beautiful and inviting on its own, but it\u2019s what\u2019s behind that really causes jaws to drop\u2014and it can be finished multiple ways to fit the land that it\u2019s built on!<\/p>\n<p>House Plan 4445 is a great choice if you have natural property to admire, and thanks to having four foundation options, we have seen it built multiple ways with great success. The main floor plan shows four distinct outdoor areas at the rear of the house: a covered patio, grilling terrace, covered porch, and patio with optional fireplace. All three bedrooms and the dining and great rooms have direct access to one of these spaces, so you\u2019ll find that this home caters perfectly to an outdoorsy family, but you can also easily pick and choose if you don\u2019t want them all, and simply modify the plan to include walls and windows instead of doors. How these open-air living areas present varies greatly by the grade of the land where it\u2019s built, but each one is amazingly beautiful, functional, and perfect for whatever the land has to offer.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 375px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i68.tinypic.com\/lcguu.png \" width=\"375\" height=\"279\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adapted to a sloped lot, this home shows off a stunning deck over a walk-out basement, giving the owners even more functional space.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On level lots, this home allows you to effortlessly enjoy natural surroundings in a laidback transitional space. A comfortable, breezy living room can be constructed between the great room and the great outdoors,and it makes a fantastic seasonal getaway at your own home. When built on a sloping lot with a walk-out basement,the resulting deck is breathtaking; spanning the entire width of the house and providing an amazing vantage point, it is definitely a conversation starter on its own, but it also allows you to lay a patio at ground level and creates even more space to utilize. Pair this with plenty of windows and you\u2019ll definitely be tempted to finish that basement to make the most of the entire house!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<!--origin=69--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s one of the major features most in demand for new home construction\u2014outdoor living space!
