Featured Floor Plan: Portico Plus

At Weaver Homes, we understand that your home isn’t just where you retreat for privacy and shelter; it’s also where you relax, entertain, and spend precious moments alone, with family, or with a significant other. That’s why we take great pride in designing homes built for whatever lifestyle and stage of life you’re in. 

Each home is built with special attention to how it will be used. Open floor concepts, spacious living and kitchen spaces, and a private den are some of the features you can expect to find in many of our floor plans. No matter which floor plan you choose, there’s a space perfect for everything you need – and all of the things you want!

While each floor plan has its own unique features, we want to shine a spotlight on one of these specially designed floor plans, Portico Plus. Read on for a few highlights of choosing this floor plan.

Enlarged Kitchen, Living Room, and Garage

The Portico Plus shows that bigger can be better, especially when it comes to your living space. The kitchen, living room, and dining area are typically the main hangout spaces of the home, so why not go a little bigger?

With a larger kitchen island, you can enjoy cooking a variety of delicious meals while still being able to converse with guests and family. Additional cabinets and drawers within the island help provide plenty of extra storage space for cooking appliances and utensils. Maybe even use a drawer to easily access a catalog of family-favorite recipes.

Nothing says storage like a large 2-car garage. One of the amazing features of the Portico Plus versus the original Portico plan is the larger garage space. Whether you decide to actually use it for cars or not, there’s a ton of leftover storage. Fill it with car cleaning supplies, workout equipment, or even transform it into the ultimate man cave.

There are multiple top-quality windows throughout this floor plan, but the larger ones included in the living room and dining areas allow incredibly abundant natural light to shine through. It makes the home feel even more open and inviting. This spacious living room area can become the anchor for many delightful parties or a relaxing movie night on the couch. And the dining room can be used for more than eating. Clear the table and get ready for a fun game night with the whole family.

 

Private Space For Everyone

One of the greatest aspects of this unique plan is that it provides more than enough private space for everyone in your family while fostering connection at the same time. With the owner’s suite on the first floor, you can enjoy all the benefits of easy, one-level living. The private den provides a nice, spacious area for quiet working, reading, meditation, or whatever calming activity you enjoy. 

The second floor option has a bonus suite that is the ultimate spot for hosting vacationing family members and overnight guests. With its own living area, bathroom, study, and walk-in closet, you may have guests wanting to stay longer than expected.

 

Outdoor Living Space

There are endless spaces in this floor plan to retreat to, but if that’s not enough, the outdoor living spaces offer even more options for spending some alone as well as with close friends and family. 

Spend warm, glorious mornings out on the wide, open back patio. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing moment outdoors in the fresh air. Add a charcoal firepit to heat up in the cooler months, or a bistro table set to host a quaint brunch. It can be easily accessed from the owner’s suite or dining room areas.

If you prefer, you can opt for an extended covered front porch to keep out of the heat while still enjoying a warm, sunny day. Grab a refreshing lemonade and a small snack. With room for a small bench and ottoman, you won’t need much to enjoy the outdoor spaces of this floor plan.

When you’re ready to build or move to a home with floor plans that keep buyers’ needs and wants in mind, come to Weaver Homes in the Greater Pittsburgh area. We treat our buyers like family, so you know you’re getting a truly customized home.
