This attractive pool house plan has board and batten siding and a standing seam metal roof and makes a great complement to your Craftsman, New American or Modern Farmhouse home. A large, covered porch provides a great place to relax after a day of swimming. Perfect for entertaining, an outdoor kitchen with a vent hood is accessible under the covered porch.
