Not sure your plans, but selling this house in the future will be difficult with the Master located on the second floor. Not everyone wants to deal with stairs as they get older.

Also, balconys, while they add to the overall look of the house, are expensive to build and are a maintenance nightmare in our climate. You will have rot at some point that will need to be addressed. Plus just the general upkeep of that space that will never be used a few short months after you move in.

I draw houses for a living so take that how you wish.

Selling is thankfully a nonissue. We don't sell property in my family

I agree on the master.

This is a concern as well. And I appreciate the input.

The porch is unfortunately a requirement. Otherwise it would all be enclosed.

I have a sketchbook full of requirements, and I'm trying to figure out how they will all fit together.

The kitchen, pantry, great room, and garage are the only spaces I care about.

I could sleep in a bunk bed in a closet and be happy.

The wife's concerns basically consist of storage space.
