We ended up with a slightly modified version, with dormers on both sides upstairs. We're also reversing it so the master suite is on the right. We love the back stairs, and are considering doing away with the front stairs...not enamoured of grand front staircases hitting you in the face when you open the front door. Since we plan on living in this house forever, we can visualize an elevator in the stairwell going from the basement to the top floor...later...later...
We won't have the garage downstairs. We're planning to build a separate detached garage behind the kitchen (left side in the reversed the plan), with shop and guest suite above.
We're thinking about iron railings for the front porch, continued inside on the stairs and gallery upstairs. Our lot slopes left to right, so there will be a walk-out basement door on the right side, into the 'man-cave' downstairs. Finishes will be granite foundation stone, with brick on the first floor and siding above that.
