![]() We took out the tub for the master bathroom and made a larger shower with a seat. It gave us a beautiful opened hallway with iron spindle railings around the stairs to the basement. We removed the stairs to the upstairs as we did not want two stories. We made the dining room an office and reversed, what was listed as a coffee station for the great room, into a closet for the office. We dropped the ceilings everywhere except the great room to nine foot instead of ten feet, for cost savings (nine feet is really big enough). We also made the island one foot shorter to give more room to walk if people were sitting at the table. I cannot imagine the flow through that area working well with a regular door opening. ![]() We opened up the door to the hallway from the breakfast area to a six foot opening. We only made a few modifications but I think a couple of them were big ones to make for anyone considering this plan. As a multi-generation household, the in-law suite makes this house perfect. We chose this plan because of the in-law suite and the great layout. We had to make a modification for property elevation with a side walkout. Our only issue was needing to have some modifications and that process was pretty slow and got us a little behind while we waited. Getting the house plan was easy after purchase as we chose the pdf option. We started our build with Pine Cone Trail house plan and moved in April 2, 2021. Would be happy to share our changes with The HouseDesigners! Maybe they will make it an option! Working with their recommended architect for the changes was just as easy. The house is going to be beautiful when done and is currently under construction with a completion date by the end of summer. We also extended the garage forward 8 feet. Converting the front office area into a guest bedroom, the screened porch into a great room with the family room, and added another closet to the master bedroom where the garage storage area was. Since we were building on a lake, we were able to utilize the basement as a walkout basement with a third bedroom. After purchasing the prints, we paid one of The House Designers' modification teams to alter the plan and made it into a one story. ![]() The exterior of the home was beautiful and the interior layout amazing-more than we wanted though. My wife and I looked long and hard for a house design we both really liked and happened upon this one.
