Spacious Two-Story Home with Wraparound Porch and Walkout Basement

Mcknight spans 1,814 square feet of heated living area across two levels, defined by a 45-foot width and 44-foot depth footprint. This European-inspired design utilizes a steep 36:12 roof pitch to create a vertical profile reaching a maximum building height of 47 ft 3 in, providing a distinct silhouette on the lot.

The first floor encompasses 907 square feet, organized to prioritize a first-floor primary suite and a dedicated butler’s pantry adjacent to the kitchen. An 8-foot ceiling height maintains a consistent scale throughout the main level, which includes a centralized laundry zone for operational efficiency. The floor plan facilitates a clear transition from the interior living spaces to the extensive exterior wraparound porch.

Occupying an additional 907 square feet, the second floor features a loft space designed for a study or secondary relaxation zone. The 8-foot ceiling height on this level provides a structured environment that separates the upper quarters from the primary social core, allowing for quietude and privacy in the elevated living area.

Structural integrity is achieved through 2x6 wall framing, supporting the complex roof geometry. The home includes a 1,081 square foot walkout basement with 9-foot ceilings, offering significant potential for future expansion or specialized storage. This foundation type allows for natural light penetration in the lower level, increasing the utility of the total square footage.

Practical design elements, such as the 788 square foot deck, extend the living area outdoors, while the site-specific requirements align with a 45-foot wide building envelope. The integration of the walkout basement and the wrap-around porch ensures that every elevation contributes to the overall site utility and exterior circulation.
