  I love the narrow footprint. Access to the laundry from the master closet might be a nice touch. Maybe shift the 1/2 bath to be next to the laundry room to allow for a future elevator next to the stairs. Plus, it helps cover future modifications if basement stairs are added. Upstairs, two shed dormers flanking the gable would be a nice touch if the bedroom was brought flush with the bonus rooms and provides maximized views in the backyard. Upstairs, I picture 2 bedrooms on each side joined by a jack n' jill bathroom. Drop the ceiling height in the living room to prevent the step up into the bonus room.

  Extend Master out to 18 feet. Flip the bath in option Bath up to add true Jack & Jill in optional bedroom. Ceiling height 10 on main 8 up no step up in recreation room. Open double sink bath to main hall with door placement change.

  I prefer the board & batten exterior with a second texture being brick or stone. The floor plan looks good, I would question the master bedroom door & privacy from the main living area possibly an alcove at the entry to the master bedroom? 1 issue we come across quite often is egress from a bonus room. Keep in mind that we must have a window opening that meets code requirements for these areas. 2 issue is that many of our customers are using the french door style refrigerators today and many of your plans have the refrigerator in an alcove or up against a side wall. The wall will work if it's 30" anything over that will prevent the door from functioning properly or if the alcove is 90 degree from an additional counter top same issue, modifications need to be made to framing to alleviate these issues. Would be easier if the plans reflected an appropriate layout as this can be missed at times if not caught. ( Speaking from experience)

  I was concerned about some of the spaces such as entry to pantry, hallway and so forth. Upon further examination, there's so much room in the plan, some of my changes would not move the needle much. I like the plan but the front elevation didn't really grab me. Perhaps claddings and colour would change that quickly.
