The Overlook

Plan Details

Introducing Mode Homes’ 2,084 SQFT Traditional plan, The Overlook. A 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath build-on-your-lot home that blends classic exterior materials — lap siding, wood garage doors, and brick — with a smart, modern interior layout. The standout feature: a main-floor master suite, with three additional bedrooms upstairs. The Overlook is the plan for buyers who want single-level primary living with room above for kids, guests, or aging-in-place flexibility built right in.

Key Features

• Main-Floor Master Suite: A rare and highly sought-after layout — primary bedroom on the main level for single-level living that ages with you. No stairs to navigate at the end of a long day, ever.
• Master Bath with Trayed Ceiling Bedroom: The master sits under a decorative trayed ceiling and connects to an ensuite with his and her vanities, a walk-in closet, and an enclosed water closet. A real primary retreat, not an afterthought.
• 2-Story Foyer: A dramatic entry with a 2-story ceiling sets the tone the moment guests walk through the front door. Big-house presence on a build-on-your-lot footprint.
• Front Covered Porch: A welcoming front elevation built for the way Idaho families actually use their porches — morning coffee, evening conversations, and a real first impression for guests.
• Dedicated Home Office: A separate office just off the entry — quiet, private, and built for the work-from-home reality without sacrificing a bedroom.
• Open Family Room with Fireplace: Warmed by a fireplace and lit by two windows, the family room anchors the open main-floor layout. The room everyone gravitates toward, year-round.
• Open Kitchen, Dining, and Family Room: The three shared living spaces flow into one another — the layout that makes hosting easy and weeknight dinners feel less like a chore.
• Kitchen Island with Snack Bar: Real prep space, casual seating, and a natural gathering point for weekday breakfasts and weekend coffee. The island does the work of a dining table on busy mornings.
• Large Walk-In Pantry: Sized for oversized appliances, Costco runs, and the dry goods that pile up fast in a family home. The kitchen stays clean; the pantry does the heavy lifting.
• Three Bedrooms Upstairs: Secondary bedrooms separated from the main-floor master — perfect for kids, guests, or extended family. Privacy where you need it, proximity where you don’t.
• Mud Room Off the Garage: Direct entry from the 2-car garage into a dedicated mudroom — the first thing your family hits when they walk in from the car. The difference between a tidy entry and a permanent pile by the door.
• Traditional Exterior with Mixed Materials: Lap siding, brick accents, and wood garage doors create a timeless, classic exterior that holds its value across any Boise neighborhood — infill, suburban, or rural acreage.
