A master with three additional bedrooms upstairs. So that wouldn't include the dining being converted or would? I think you will have a hard time getting the wish list of master bath ideas and all the rooms plus a bath for other rooms in a 40x32 space upstairs. If one if the three rooms is the dining downstairs then it might work. Or maybe in my head I'm allotting too much room to closets. Not sure. If you omit the butlers pantry you get rid of a LOT of food storage space. Fill us in on your family lifestyle. How many are in the crew? Is it small kids who would need a playroom? Do you want flex space above the garage? Do you cook most meals. This kitchen wouldn't be big enough for me. If you want cost effective omit the bump outs on the footer. And keep plumbing centralized in one 1/4 or so, of the house. If you have a basement then you would loose the entry closet for guests. With your list it might be adventageous to enlist in the help of a designer/architect. Jen

I like that space! We recently painted the bar area in the lower level of our house. It's basically a run of cabinets on one wall, with a sink in the middle and no appliances. We went with white, and now I wish we had done something else - the white feels too much like a regular kitchen vs a fun bar area - although it's technically not a bar and we don't use it as a bar. Here is a blue basement bar on a blog I read occasionally: https://www.thelilypadcottage.com/2018/03/basement-wet-bar.html

I like the first option of putting your tv on the 21.9 wall with built ins. If you did this I wouldn’t push your sectional all the way back to the back wall, I agree that is too far back. What if you moved it up and added a table behind the sectional? I’ve seen a few examples recently where a bar height table was added with bar chairs for additional seating (sample in below link, sorry I don’t know how to add it as a photo). https://www.houzz.com/hznb/photos/family-room-home-theater-and-bar-contemporary-family-room-san-francisco-phvw-vp~2787162 I also wonder if a sectional is the best bet for the size of the space, what about a large sofa with a chaise on one side? It could keep everything facing the tv. Just a few ideas, it’s hard to picture the room with just the floor plan, especially with the stairs coming down the middle so I could be wrong. Good luck!

Looks to me either you move the tv or that beam becomes part of your sofa area. Maybe something like this may work for you. Inspiration:
