Sorry, can't help with the plan. But I grew up hanging out with a buddy who lived there (about 5 min up the road from So Living's offices).

Having lived in Shook Hill territory for over 20yrs, I had to look up the plan. It made me LOL. It's a nice plan, but nothing like the houses in the actual Shook Hill area.

The only thing I would suggest is making the two french doors in the DR windows since doors are potential leak sources and/or access points.

This is a very cute "almost too cute" caricature of an old house which has been added on to over long periods of time. If one likes new "old houses" this is one of those. The plan, however, is very unique and rather limiting. For an empty nester family who needs/wants one level living, it might work with the second level and guest house serving as quarters for frequent visitors. For an active family with young or adolescent children, this design might be very challenging. One thing is for sure--there's much more foundation, wall framing and roof framing of three detached structures than a single structure. Building systems--HVAC, electrical/signal, water supply/waste will all take larger units and more distribution lines. If one has the budget, and the lifestyle fits, this could be a good design. If not, keep looking.

@mfowler- THANK YOU!! This is so incredibly helpful. Hubby and I are actually discussing using the Stone Creek plan, but modifying it to look like Shook Hill on the outside; it's fun to see that someone else had the same (partially, anyway) idea! I'm also glad to see the size of Stone's family room- much better sized than Shook's. And I def prefer Shook's kitchen over Stone's. I think Mitch Ginn needs to read this thread and come up with a hybrid plan! Maybe call it Stone Hill? Shook Creek? :) Hubby and I REALLY appreciate your pictures and the time you took to post them!

Hi -- Sorry I don't get notifications when the thread is updated. We did finish the basement -- just basic but the ceilings are 9' so it doesn't look like a cave. There are also a lot of windows along the edge too so lots of light. We did use vinyl plank flooring that looks like barn wood that is kind of cool and great for a basement.

We are in the process of building the Shook Hill plan now. Sheet rock starts Monday. We changed front french doors to double sash with transoms similar to the rear, eliminated the fake chimney on front, went without basement and put pantry under steps to make the laundry room larger. Space under steps is about the same as layed out in laundry room, we made an angle wall in shower to allow the sprays to point toward middle of shower, increased garage to 25' deep so my truck fits, installed trusses over garage to allow a bonus room (future steps in 3rd bay wrapping rear corner). email me at b.t.email@att.net and I'll send you a photo or answer more questions. We really like the plan and are pleased with the size of rooms.

We are in the planning stages right now. We want to move the stairs into the foyer, but not sure this is going to work out. We walked through one being built in Newnan Georgia, Redwine Plantation, there is about 100 sq ft upstairs behind the jack and Jill bath that is wasted space. We plan to add a laundry room upstairs, this way the kids can do their own laundry without carrying up and down. We will also add a walk in pantry downstairs, probably by extending the area between the kitchen and garage. We will add a door off of the side of the front porch, and turn the laundry into the 1/2 bath, and move laundry to the back of the house off of the kitchen.

I have quite a few pictures of the home being built in Newnan Georgia.

My DH and I are building in the middle of our land overlooking a 15 acre pasture and I love the look of this home. Would any of you that have pics be willing to share? I need to make a decision soon (my DH patience is running thin) lol. I am especially having a hard time visualizing the interior. Please help. Thanks!
