MEN 5009

From award-winning designer Michael E. Nelson comes a stunning addition to our French Country House Collection. St. Augustine uses a mixture of stone and brick siding to add depth and visual interest to the home. Elegant arched windows are complimented by wooden shutters, while the towering rooflines are complimented by beautiful finials, creating the ultimate curb appeal.

Open Floor Plan

An arched entryway welcomes you into the home, where you will find yourself in the foyer below a lofty 12-foot ceiling. To the left, you will see the formal dining room flanked by timber posts and beams. Straight ahead, toward the rear of the St. Augustine home plan, is the great room and kitchen, where the open floor plan allows these two spaces to flow together seamlessly. An elegant vaulted ceiling displays exposed false timber beams to accentuate these spaces. The fireplace in the Great Room is the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee and a roaring fire during the chilly winter months. The Kitchen has plenty to offer, including a large island with a sink, a high top bar with seating, and even room for an ice machine (I.M.).

On the left side of St. Augustine are bedrooms 2 and 3. These rooms are both spacious with large closets and share a Jack and Jill style bathroom between them.

From this side of the home you can also enter the 2-car side load garage, from which you can access the additional single bay front load garage. A half bath is conveniently located right off the main hall for guests, as well as the huge laundry room, which boasts a sink, plenty of counter- and cupboard-space, and a desk.

Master Suite Wing

The right wing of St. Augustine is entirely devoted to the Master Suite. Before entering, you will step into a brief foyer equipped with a linen closet that may serve as a convenient drop-off for briefcases, coats, or purses. The master bedroom displays a beautiful 10-foot boxed ceiling, and charming French doors lead you out to the covered rear porch. The Master Bath is complete with all the amenities, including a dual sink vanity, private toilet room, corner whirlpool tub beside a window for natural lighting, and a separate enclosed corner shower. A huge walk-in closet is also accessed from here, with tons of shelving and optional drawer space.

Stunning Outdoor Living Space

In this beautiful St. Augustine house plan, you certainly can’t forget about the wonderful outdoor living spaces! French doors lead from the great room out to the covered porch, which features a vaulted ceiling and outdoor fireplace. From here you have access to an additional covered porch and a grilling patio with a stone surface. 10-foot cedar posts characterize the grandeur of these covered porches.

Above-Garage Bonus Room

Another great feature of St. Augustine is the Bonus Room above the garage. Finishing out this space will give you an additional 382 square feet—not to mention all the things you can use it for! From a kids’ play room to an exercise room or home office, the possibilities are endless!
