I like the layout but it would not work for people like me large families…I have four kids so I would be shy a couple rooms.:(
I like Master Suites on the first floor because I like to shuffle my feet to the kitchen coffee pot pick a flower from the bouquet vase insert it into a single vase place it on a breakfast tray reach and fill a coffee cup place it on a breakfast tray, and shuffle my way back into bed. First floor Master Suites give me a reason to relax.
Warm Regards
Wow,I do like the floor plan but my family needs more space.I have 3 kids and a dog and a husband.They need some room to do their own thing and I think the houses are becoming too small for the average family.Come on HGTV you can do it!
looks great…Where is the garage???
Wow, I love that it is one floor. The Master Bedroom may be a little to far away from the kid’s rooms, but as they get older I may appreciate that. Is there a garage? Very interesting design, can’t wait for the tour and chance to enter.
To answer your question,velvet350, perhaps there’s a swimming pool or beach adjacent and it’s handy for guests to go in and out of the bath from the porch so they won’t track sand in.
i love how big the kitchen is and how the master is away from the rest of the bedrooms. can’t wait to see it finished on tv so i can win…
Love the fact that this is the second house built in southern Florida,which is where we’d love to live, but can’t afford. We’re in north central Florida. Registered for the Key West home even though it was 2 floors. There are certain critical things about this house that are just not there for a Florida home. How about a single story future home with wider doors all around the home, huge rooms, 2-car garage that holds car w/wheelchair ramp, a bathroom with tubs and showers designed for the disabled. And how about making it truly green with enough solar panels to eat the entire electrical needs of the whole house. Please no subdivisions with HOA fees (people in FL are leaving HOA’s in droves for a reason!) and how about lakefront, not oceanfront. Looking forward to my dream home. Haven’t seen it yet. Maybe over the next couple years. Still dreaming!
AWESOME !!! Thank you HGTV !! I love it … I love the rooftop patio with the planters for herbs and veggies… and the dining area up there.. I love the master bath… I can’t wait to soak in that tub… I love the lounge area… so you can hang with you girl friends.. while the boys are in the living room watching the “game”… or playing cards .. I love that their is the wet bath from the enclosed patio…does that mean there will be a pool?? I am hoping so… you can’t live in Florida without it.. I love the fireplace at the front entry…is it see through from the front door??? I am just dreaming… are the orange lounge chairs in the lounge area… and the dining room has yellow walls, right… I am thinking it is going to be tropical… maybe spanish influence to match the exterior.. I love the location of the kids’ room.. I love to have sleep overs with his friends and letting them share between two rooms when you have a few extra kids..or cousins.. I love the sitting room.. being used as a sitting room, that way our son can have his own space or when Grannie visits she can lounge and relax in her “own” space…Love the Truck.. My Husband will love it for sure.. He transfers a lot of props for work… Which it is awesome that we have to move to Florida for work in June… so, it would be a dream to win this Green Home.. I can’t wait to see the special on April 19th… I wish everyone good luck and hope that everyone stays positive with their comments…. Just remember that it is a free home !!! and truck !!! If you don’t like it, win it and sell it… but, let the rest of us stay excited and happy, even if we only have a 1 out of 39,000,000 +++ chance of winning… Keep it nice… and positive.. especially because my son reads the blogs sometimes when I am on… as, he is excited to try and win as well…. Thank You HGTV…. I know this Green Dream Home is going to be Awesome as your team always does a super creative job…. and Linda is so artistic at recycle items.. I can’t wait to see the two wood tables.. the one at the entry way and the dining table.. I read that they are completely made of recycled wood and that the wood in the kitchen in dark… I can’t wait… It sounds beautiful !! I guess that I am over excited… I just really want to win this time… after 8 years of entering and the last 2 for the Green Home… Good Luck to all again… ;@)
FYI…. There is a large 2 car garage…. It is just not showing on the floor plan.. you have to go into the construction exterior shots to see it… I believe it is right off the laundry room… you can see that there is space that opens into another area there… It is also the logical spot… to me, anyway…. also, JenniferLynn, I agree with you… You seem to be as excited as my family, so I send you a friendly “Good Luck”… for those with larger families… the sitting room could be used as a bedroom, because it does have a closet… so that would make 3 bedrooms, besides the master… also, you could probably enclose the lounge if you had to… or just sell it and buy something more appropriate for you…just a suggestion.. I have no idea.. I have one 8 year old boy.. who doesn’t really care how big his room is or where it is.. he love hanging with his mom and dad.. and outside.. Also, there was someone who asked where the tub is in the master… it is between the two sinks on the open floor.. I believe it is called a garden tub.. it stands alone and has a beautiful base.. I saw an article on it… Good Luck…
Used to live in Port St. Lucie and would love to come back. The neighborhood where the green home is located is great and only 2 miles from where we used to live. Miss it like crazy and of course would love to win. Why was a pool not built? They come in salt water and would certainly be green.
Andrea
This is ideal for my wife and mother in law.
We look forward to living in this one,with God’s help,praying for this to happen,this is beautiful,thanks !!!
The bath that is off the screened porch is called a cabana bath. When you come in from the pool or are going out to it you can shower off. When I win this home it gets a pool with solar heating. I used to live in Port Saint Lucie about 2 miles from where the Dream home is and had to move north due to family illness. We are now ready to move back home to Tradition. We miss Florida.
Correction…. There is not a fireplace in the living space… my mistake.. when I looked at the floor plan and the picture on HGTV Pro, it looked like a fireplace wall. You don’t need a fireplace in Port St. Lucie…. now if you live in the panhandle ,,,, that’s a different story…… I heard that a pool could be added…. and there is a perfect spot for it close to the outdoor kitchen…. Good Luck to all !!!! Love Life and Live Green !!
This house is the best yet, in my opinion. The neutral colors, furniture, and brightness are fantastic. Only two things missing, a fireplace (yes we do use them in Florida) and a swimming pool. Not many people live in Florida without one.
Good luck everyone. I hope whoever wins is able to keep it.
THIS COULD NOT COME AT A BETTER TIME …
YES IT IS A CHANCE TO TAKE …
I just love this house. Who wouldn’t want to live in Paradise? We are still raising two little ones 11 and 2 and it looks like a great community. Perfect place to teach our kids to live green. I wanted to know how big the lot is and also if there are any churches near the home. I hope I win so o o o o o o bad. Uh oh, I think I need a break from the little one. lol.
Love the open floor plan, good flow and that it is all on one level. Really like that the master suite is separate from the other bedrooms. The concept of the mudroom with an entrance by the garage is great. Just wish it had been located off the kitchen where groceries could be easily carried in, and kids and pets would not have to trapse through whole house from mudroom to kitchen.
Although I am a northeast girl and we are used to 2 floor homes, the layout of this one interest me. I do however have some problems with it.
I’m used to central water walls rather than multiple locations for potential water “mishaps”. I’m not sure if all that additional piping would be considered green or cost efective.
The guest and children will essentially be sharing the same bathroom. I recongnize there is a hall bath, but that’s for visitors and such.
Single floor homes are perfect for Florida, but I hope you make the ceilings a little higher than a standard 9ish.
I think you should switch up the lounge area and make that the dining area. That wall has more potential for big open windows that would be very relaxing for dinners or breakfast. Plus, it won’t be so tight as looking at the small eating area made me confined. Makes more sense to have the lounge area near the screened in porch that way one lounging area segways into the next. But then again, the dining area should be placed according to which windows will be facing sunset.
I’m sorry but I do not like this floor plan at all. Will there be a garage? Will there be a drive-way, and if so where? Does not look like there is easy access for unloading groceries – to get to the kitchen for this task do you go through the screen porch, the bathroom or the front door? Going through a closet to get to the master bath? What happens when you have quest’s and they need to use the master bath, if the other’s are not available? I don’t think I would like traffic through my closet. Some of the closet’s seem very small. Where the laundry room is located seems very odd and inconvenient also. What about eating area?
I see only one in the formal area of the home – the only other would be the bar located at the kitchen. The kitchen seems very small also – will there be an island for eating – but the kitchen looks too small for an island. I do have problems with this floorplan. I think they could have come up with a better one. Sorry!
Hi Judy,
I just thought that you would like a few of your questions, answered.. There is a garage and breezeway that leads to the laundry room, service area… The master closets have beautiful curtains so that no one would have to see your personal belongings. The eating areas are everywhere.. From the awesome barstools at the kitchen counter, the great table on the screened in porch, the beautiful dining table to the rooftop terrace… Isn’t that awesome and just so creative.. Also, the closets may seem a little smaller than what builders do today, but, this home is eco-conscious by building space for what you need and use.. to reduce waste. I know some have a lot more to store… maybe store by seasons in the closets and place the rest in the garage as they do have storage there…The GH2009 is also made for those who win to be able to entertain and live outdoors !!! As there is so much in do in Traditions @ Port St. Lucie.. I hope this helps.. If not, there are a few veteran bloggers and Gail or Mary would be able to give you more details…. Good Luck.. Love life by living green !!!
As I live in a 500 sq ft duplex with my husband and two grown kids, I would be blessed to win this house. I enter in the hope I can improve my family’s life.
I love everything about the house except that you have to walk through your master bedroom closet to get to the bathroom. I think the closet should’ve been on the outside with windows, of course, in each. By the time you get to the toilet in the middle of the night, you are totally awake.
I live 5 minutes from this Green Home. Since I am not going to pay $30 for both my husband and I to tour it in person, I have seen it from the outside, and I have gone on all of the online virtual tours. I have a lot of problems with it. First, whoever designed it made sure no one who had any knee, hip, leg, or back problems (i.e. NO middle age or seniors allowed!) could possibly live there. There are steps going up to the front and back porch, and a spiral staircase from the ground to the roof, where there is a garden and sitting area. There is a floorplan, but no dimensions of the rooms are given – the bedrooms look very small, and there is no eat-in area in the kitchen. Yes, there are barstools, but that cannot substitute for a family eating area in the kitchen. The family would have to eat in the dining room for every meal.
Also, the house is located in the middle of NOTHING. Yes, Tradition is a wonderful town- it has everything within a 2 mile area, including shopping, walking and biking paths, and lakes. I love living here. But the green home is on a main road all by itself. There are no neighbors, no facilites, such as pool and clubhouse. If you are a young, adventurous family with hundreds of thousands of dollars available to pay the prize tax on the house, then by all means, take a chance on it.
I think that the house looks pretty great!
This house would be a dream to own. Immediately upon retiring, my husband has battled, and continues to battle, cancer. We don’t know how many years we have left together (after 42 years of working and raising two kids), and it would be a dream come true to have our final years in a place like this!
Wow! This Green Home is absolutely gorgeous! I can definitely picture myself living here and starting a family. I was planning to move to Florida in the near future and learn more about green living and pursue my career in Interior Design. This would be the perfect home to nuture those dreams! Thank you HGTV!
A very strange, but yet intriguing layout. Looks like it would be a great challenge to properly arrange furniture so that everything would balance and yet be so different, in as much as the home is. A win would finally get us out of the cold. Thanks for the opportunity to post a comment.
We are well known Why green Homes?, I would like to know about green Homes lay out plan or acomodtion of the particular flat or house. How to make green Home?
I’ve been drawing floor plans since I was a child but have never come up with one as unique and well planned as this one. Hope I get to see it in person!!
Love the layout but what is the square footage of the kid room guest room and sitting room???
The floor plan design is impressive and functional. I watched the tour yesterday on HGTV and the decor and furniture are exceptional–and all so GREEN! Especially appreciate the rooftop garden and the outdoor patio is to die for. It is my dream to move to FL. My compliments to the designers!
The home and layout plan is absolutely gorgeous. I am ready to move to Port St. Lucie today!! Who will the lucky person be!!!! Hopeful that I may win! Goodluck everyone!!
Thanks! HGTV!

My dream retirement home! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!My home sweet home. After working for more than 30 years I will retire in sunny Florida. My 5 children, gandchildren, their pets will come and visit me anytime they want. I will go in a medical mission outside the country. The LORD saved my life in a car accident to fulfill my dreams. It will be a dream come true.
This home is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The layout is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Winning a home like this is the opportunity of a life time and would help my family so much. Good luck to you all and God Bless those at HGTV for providing us with this opportunity!
This is beyond comprehension for me as I live in a 14′ by 70′ trailer. The hallway of this AMAZING home is bigger than the whole trailer I live in. To win something like this is beyond all comprehension for me after having to live in a trailer for so many years. I couldn’t imagine the joy and thrill of a REAL HOME instead of having to live in this trailer with the floor falling through in several places! I pray every single day to win this home and it’s all in GOD’s hands now (and HGTV of course). Thank you for this opportunity and I couldn’t imagine life without HGTV to watch! God Bless you all!!
love, love, love this home. the floor plan is perfect. seems to have great room sizes. My daughter looks the jack and jill bathroom. that is her dream bathroom.I think it the nicest house and green is a bonus.would love to live in this one.
Great job as always with the house…I only entered once so i doubt i’m the person to own this home, but i think its really great that you give people hope to win something this wonderful….to all those who choose to complain or say negative comments to something that is GIVEN to you out a generous spirit, you don’t deserve to win the home!!!!
My husband and I are looking to build and we have thoroughly reviewed the floor plans over and over. This is certainly a unique floor plan, and I was wondering how do we go about obtaining these floorplans with exact dimensions of the home. Can anyone help me out?
Hi,
Looks nice! But can anyone tell me by what time one can expect it to be completed?
Good night .
I have something to say, about AloeVera, something about which you wrote above, about health and nutritional… For a long time, I and my friend use the products of the Forever Living Products. We always see the fine results and also we earn money for our families and we are happy. My friend works with Aloe Vera in the company of forever living products has more than 5 years (My friend works ONLY in the forever living products company and has a wife and three children). I know AloeVera products for nutritional for a long time, but a year ago, began working as a distributor in the Forever Living Company.
Of course, this job is some difficult, but in no other case, You really can earn so much much money with so much much fun and smiling faces around….
So if you want to discuss something about which you wrote above, and about my experience with aloe Vera products for weight management, I’ll always be glad to talk.
Best regards from Washington state and have a nice day!
Andrew – Aloe Vera Distributor
Plan is functional. Would have suggested angle of kit. cabinets follow angle of interposed rectangular section. Or would that have been a kit. too open to LR guests?
What is "green" [ie: energy-saving/conserving] about this house?
Thought I would spend time to read and comment on most of your articles today as the weather is so shocking
