COOL Plan Description
COOL Garlinghouse Retro Contemporary Plan 10012 with Wraparound Deck, Fireplace and Boat Storage
From the legendary Garlinghouse Collection, COOL house plan 10012 is a far out example of the bold architectural creativity that helped define American home design for generations. For more than 100 years, Garlinghouse has created homes that continue to inspire homeowners, and this retro contemporary Gambrel design remains one of those timeless classics. Offering 2,108 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a full basement, this unforgettable home blends striking architecture with the kind of comfortable living that never goes out of style.
The coolest feature is the distinctive Gambrel roofline paired with a massive wraparound redwood deck that turns the outdoors into part of your everyday lifestyle. Whether you're overlooking a lake, relaxing in the mountains, or enjoying a wooded retreat, the expansive deck creates the perfect place for morning coffee, backyard cookouts, or evenings under the stars.
Inside, both the living room and family room gather around a warm central fireplace, creating comfortable spaces where family and friends naturally come together. Large windows and multiple deck access points strengthen the connection between the home and its surroundings, filling the interior with natural light while bringing the outdoors inside.
The kitchen offers generous counter space and an efficient layout that flows naturally into the dining area, making everything from everyday meals to holiday gatherings easy and enjoyable. Its open design keeps everyone connected while maintaining excellent functionality throughout the main living spaces.
The private owner's suite offers a peaceful retreat on the main level, while an additional bedroom nearby provides comfortable accommodations for family members or guests. Downstairs, the third bedroom creates outstanding flexibility for visitors, a home office, or hobby space.
One of the home's most memorable features is the groovy spiral staircase that connects the upper and lower decks. More than just a practical feature, it adds unmistakable retro personality and reinforces the home's distinctive architectural style.
The lower level includes over 1,200 square feet of basement space, including a versatile storage area that's perfect for a boat, recreational vehicles, workshop projects, or future finished living space. Whether you're building a vacation retreat or a full-time residence, the lower level offers exceptional flexibility for years to come.
As one of the enduring classics in the Garlinghouse Collection, house plan 10012 celebrates more than a century of innovative American home design. These are the homes that continue to stand out because bold architecture, smart floor plans, and lasting craftsmanship never become outdated. Yesterday, today, and for generations to come, this remains one of the COOLest retro homes you'll ever build.
