Dream House Designs

It's time to build your dream home and you're looking for all the images you can get of the very best dream home plans. Welcome to Donald A. Gardner, Architects, where you can find dozens of incredible homes that offer all of the dream amenities you desire: huge great rooms with fireplaces; lavish master suites; top-of-the-line kitchens; relaxing porches and so much more!

Here we'll show you two dream house designs (complete with lots of images) so you can refine your search. Take a look at The Mitchell (Plan 1413-D); a fantastic 5 BR, 5 BA two-story hillside walkout plan; and The Roseburg (Plan 1378); a masterpiece of a home – one-story, 5 BR, 4 BA Craftsman style. Each of these homes offers over 4,000 sq.ft. of living space and a full range of modern features that make them worthy of the name 'dream home'.

This Home Plan Fulfills Your Dreams

The Mitchell's stone and shake exterior, with its gables and cupola, present an air of sophistication. Upon entering, you'll get that 'dream home' feeling right away! You'll find the great room to be a truly magnificent space, measuring over 400 sq.ft.

Its coffered ceiling and fireplace makes this a perfect spot to gather the family and entertain guests.

A home as large as this really benefits from its open concept design, which allows for a sweeping flow from room to room. The kitchen – breakfast room – screen porch flow makes for a wonderful family space in the morning. Prepare the breakfast in your attractive, modern kitchen, then either dine in the breakfast room, or step out to the screen porch with your meal. Likewise, the flow between the kitchen and great room is effortless; keeping the conversation going between rooms is easy. Serving guests is so much easier with your dream home's open concept design.

The master suite offers the luxury you desire at the end of the day. A big bedroom, dual walk-in closets, and separate tub and shower areas let you unwind and relax. Another first floor bedroom could make a great study, within easy reach of the master suite. Plus, you'll love the proximity of the sunroom to the master suite, making it a fun retreat.

There's another bedroom (in addition to the one adjacent to the master suite) on the main level. The lower level boasts two more bedrooms, plus an over 400 sq.ft. rec room and a big workshop/ storage area.

The Mitchell fully achieves the rank of dream home – it belongs on your dream home shortlist!

Now let's look at another exceptional Don Gardner dream home, The Roseburg. This plan is a Craftsman style home that delivers all of its luxury and elegance on one floor; surely making it a dream to live in. The exterior is unmistakably Craftsman, with a modern flair. When you come inside, the bright, vibrant space immediately captures your attention. What makes this dream home plan work so well is its perfectly conceived, open concept design.

The flow between the kitchen and great room is truly beautiful; you can imagine yourself in this luxurious dream home, whiling away a chilly night near the fireplace; all the while knowing that the kitchen is nearby, should you wish another hot chocolate or a snack. And, if one of you does sneak off for a moment to the kitchen, it's easy to keep the conversation going within the gorgeous open space.

A Special One Story, Luxury Dream Home

We know you'll want to see all the images of The Roseburg – and we don't blame you – this dream home design is a one story luxury home that really will fulfill all of your dreams. Soaring ceilings appointed with attractive details make this home special. Coffered ceilings in the great room and bedroom/study; plus barrel vaulted ceilings on the front porch; and a vaulted sitting room ceiling, add to the luxury of this home.

You'll love spending a fun day with the family in this home. After breakfast, you could read to your youngest child in the sitting room, then you could gather everyone on the patio later for a cookout. No problem if the kids get their clothes dirty - the utility room is conveniently located in this dream home. Quickly throw in a load of wash, and get right back to your activities.

At night sit back and relax by the fireplace in the screen porch. As you continue to wind down you'll find yourself headed in the direction of the master suite - be sure to see the photos - you'll want this dream home just for its master suite alone!
