Lots of issues that could be addressed if they matter -- access master closet from the bedroom to give you options on how you share those spaces with your partner, not through the bathroom (I like privacy when showering or bathing) bathroom pocket door should be switched to swing, jack & jill bath seems weirdly complicated, also with a pocket door that should be a regular door, really dark kitchen without any natural light...

Big front porch and huge back covered deck with minimal areas for windows will make this house incredibly dark from a quick glance.

- People in the guest bedrooms will have to carry their dirty laundry through the living room and kitchen

- The roofing will be expensive

- I do not care for the columns

- The house will be dark

- I personally hate jack and jill bathrooms. I would convert that to one bathroom accessed through the hallway or two bathrooms with showers.

How does it relate to the site?

Why do you like this plan? What is it that says "home" to you?

There are lots of flaws in this plan. Many would be deal-breakers for me. But there must be something that made you think, "this is the one!". What needs does it meet? Tell us why you think this will work for you so that we can give specific instead of generic advice.

Maybe I posted this in the wrong place. It seems that almost everyone that replied felt compelled to critique the house plan I picked to build. While I do appreciate the comments, the responses have been to questions I simply did not ask.

I posted here because I wanted to interact with anyone on this site that might have built this house already. I did the same thing here on Houzz when we built our last house several years ago, and had some amazing conversations with people that had built that plan and suggested some things that we were able to keep in mind as we built ours.

I obviously picked this plan because it fits what my family and I wanted and it is in keeping with the style and a layout that we really like. I'm sure its not "right" for everyone but that is why they make so many different plans. What might be considered flaws to some are welcomed features to others.

That being said, I had already made a few changes to the plan to customize it for our build that addresses many of the things pointed out here, especially concerning the closets and the bathrooms.

I agree there is not enough room in the master closet for the Island pictured. We had already decided not to have an island there which really opens up the master closet. I also agree many of the closets marked as WIC on the plan are not really "walk in" LOL. I did enlarge the closet in the bedoom on the front far left by making the "pod" on that side a couple of feet larger to the rear. That helped the size somewhat but that will only be a guest bedroom for us, as our kids are all grown now. The bedroom to the left of the front door was changed to a study/library with the entrance moved to a set of french doors opening to of the front hallway. This eliminates the funny Jack and Jill aspect of the bathroom that was attached to that room.

I appreciate everyone's concern about having no windows in the kitchen. It was something we really contempated. The house that we live in now is a very popular Southern Living Plan and does not have a great deal of light in the kitched either (one small window that faces west) but we were careful to light the kitchen with large island lights, recessed lights and under cabinet lights and we are very happy with that. Our current family room is also in the same loaction of the house as with this plan, with a large bank of windows to the rear of the houses that opens to a large covered porch. We like the cozy atmosphere it creates in that room especially with the glow of the fireplace in the winter. Just the right amount of natural light enhanced by the use of lamps and recessed lights when needed. We extended the dining room to the back of the house and added a few more windows in the process. This will help somewhat with more light as well, but I agree it will not light the kitchen much if at all but the dining room will have pleanty of nice light.

Maybe we are not as concered with having a ton of light in the house like some are that live in more of a city setting. You see the house is being built in the middle of 50 acres of land up on a rise that is 300 yards off of the road. We are blessed with a beautiful large piece of land to build upon, with pleanty of opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and the sunshine as we roam the acreage. One of the things we really like about the house is the very large rear porch and the spacious front porch. When we want to enjoy the sunlight at our current house, we simply step out on it's large front or rear porch which we use as a very welcome extension to the house year round. We love to use the rear porch and our outdoor area of our current house and use it to entertain with friends often. We love the flow of the rear porch opening to the family room, kitchen and dining area with this layout. In fact, that we actually elarged the already large rear porch on this plan so that we can enjoy the outdoor living aspect in abundance with this house.

All that being said, if there is a better place to post this question, I am all ears. I guess I don't hang out on this site as much as some of you do, so maybe there is a better place to try to get the information I was seeking. Thank you.

"I obviously picked this plan because it fits what my family and I wanted and it is in keeping with the style and a layout that we really like."

"I had already made a few changes to the plan"

I obviously see the disconnect in your thinking and statements.

There are better designs that are created to fit your site and meet your needs than picking a plan off the internet and trying to fix it.

Those changes sound great, and it sounds like you've thought through a lot of the items people were questioning. It's all good!

If you are on Instragram, go to their account and then click to see photos they are tagged in, circled below. You’ll find pics from people building their plans and will be able to engage with them. Someone might be building Hunter’s Creek. You can also run a general hashtag search of that plan name.

thank you
