This six-bedroom, six-bath home isn’t short on space. A guest suite above the garage with its own kitchen, living room, and bath make it a complete private home, but with the benefit of being just a stone’s throw from the rest of the family in the main home. Ā

Dual main suites make this a suitable plan for families who want everyone under one roof, but with a little more personal space than a traditional guest room would allow. The plan features four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths within the 3,559-square-foot dwelling. A raised garage slab allows for a step-free entry into the home.
