We're hoping this will be our empty nest / retirement home. The front elevation would be a little different since the one I posted is more on a raised foundation (crawl space) and it has a two story look or design to it. We'll go with a slab foundation and single story, so we can stay away from the stairs. We do intend to have a split plan to keep the master and the other rooms separate. We're hoping the laundry can be at the entry from the garage and we can make it large enough to be a laundry and mud room in the same area.

Thanks for the thoughts...all good stuff!
