I've been browsing this sub for sometime and love the engagement from the community. We are in the early design phase and would like some feedback on our house plan.

Parameters:

• 50 foot wide lot so it requires a 40 foot wide house (mandate). We can go as deep as we want. 
• There is a rule preventing towering structures on small lots, so this is the reason for the upstairs side walls being narrower in some areas.
• 3000-3300 sq ft
• 4 bdrm / 3 or 3.5 bath

Changes and ideas:

• Where to put the dining room and how to decorate it (open? glass doors? wine storage/china cabinets) - current location or swap kitchen and dining room, so you can look out to backyard while cooking
• Is the Great room too big.. How to decorate this (grand piano)? Where to put the TV and fireplace?
• Move Washer/Dryer to where the Master closet is, nearest the hallway (make a small laundry room). Enter laundry room from upstairs common area, (not from Master bdrm) and have a back door to enter laundry room thru master closet
• Sliding door out to patio, not man door
• Sliding door out to front balcony, not man door
• Add small windows to Bdrm WIC's to help with front elevation view
• If we create an en-suite for Guest Rm downstairs, where do we put the downstairs Powder Rm, without having it in the middle of everything AND without having bathrooms right next to each other? Is a Powder Rm even necessary?

Thanks!
