Castlette

Mini castle! Floorplan is a symmetrical cube, Main Entrance from portico driveway L wall center; Opposite side entrance at center R to yard (living room door). Slim porches along L and R side walls, covered with awning or rooves. R porch spills to back yard patio, L porch closed off at back. Dining room has doors to back.
Frontage of house, L to -R are: writing room L, central porch/conservatory M, and guest/yoga room R. Central stair slightly further back from dead center, sits atop 1st floor bath (w/shower). So like a donut shape downstairs, the staircase is switchback middle block.
Back of house: Open plan kitchen/DR along whole back, an L-shaped continuous wrap around corner into Living Room, center R. Connected to yoga room (front R) with doors.

Second floor plan: Front Left is master BR, then clockwise around center stair well/hall: master lounge, dressing room CB, full bathroom BackR, bedroom w/ en suite CR, Den front R, and covered balcony CF.
Back patio/yard contains outdoor shower, sauna behind kitchen. Outbuildings in garden, garage left of house with covered walkway connector/portico. Garden gazebo/workroom far back corner of yard...
Read this photo album from entry at L center first floor, facing stairs, turning to kitchen at back of house, clockwise. Same for upstairs from Master BR.
