Hi! Building decisions like those are down to personal/regional preference, so rest assured you could build this design (or any other) with the finishes you like instead!
Hello David, I would be happy to assist you with modifying House Plan 4838. If you could kindly give me a call at 866-214-2242 or email me at ccooney@thehousedesigners.com
Hi Krista! The best part of building is that you can choose the products used to finish your own home. In this case, the dark floor and glossy finish didn't photograph very well. We actually have photos of a new, much different build of this house plan on our site, so come take a look! Just scroll through the image viewer to get beyond the digital renderings. We also have plenty of more traditional (not open concept) floor plans in our collection--our home plan advisors would be happy to help you locate them, if you're interested!
Hi Elizabeth. Please contact our house plan advisors for assistance! They know our collection better than anybody and can find similar designs that fit your criteria, or can help connect you with the original architect to make modifications to this one. You can live chat with them on our site, or give them a call at 866-214-2242.
Craftsman? more like Mcmansion with craftsman façade elements. the roof is unattractive and the sloping exterior wall extension has been poorly executed. i love the curve details though, but they definitely do not align with the craftsman style. the only craftsman i see is the window trim and pillars
