selling this house in the future will be difficult with the Master located on the second floor.
Selling is thankfully a nonissue. We don't sell property in my family

I agree on the master.

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.
This is a concern as well. And I appreciate the input.
The porch is unfortunately a requirement. Otherwise it would all be enclosed.

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

You could rotate the stairs, perhaps push them towards the dining room a little to open up the kitchen/ great room a little more

Unless you have to have a percentage of Balcony across the front, Id look for other plans with smaller balconys. What about a Juliette Balcony? Or something with a Cantilever Balcony? They all suck and are expensive, just try to cut down on repairs later and maintenance.

This is when/why you hire a good draftsman or Architect. Show them the requirements and your ideas and let them fit all the puzzle pieces together.
