Santa Barbara II - Eco Series plan in Emerson Pointe by M/I Homes

The Santa Barbara II is one of our most flexible and affordable two-story plans. The exterior of this home features varying roof pitch lines, lace stucco banding, gables, and accent banding. Choose between our elevations that include either stone accent, faux shutters, or a front porch.

Once inside, on the first floor, the guests and family are greeted at large open foyer and flex room. The flex room can be used as a study, den, or formal space or choose the guest room option which close the room in and changes the powder bath to a full bath. As you enter the family room, you will take notice of the panoramic views of the kitchen, breakfast nook, and backyard. This space makes up the full rear portion of the home, making this area spacious enough for day to day living or special gatherings.

You will love the L-shaped kitchen with a window above the sink and centrally located island. This kitchen also features GE® appliances, ample banks of cabinetry, a pantry, and plenty of counter space for prepping for your favorite meals. A key drop, located by the entry door from the garage, is the perfect spot to drop the keys, purse, and mail as you enter. Downstairs is complete with a deep storage closet off the foyer.

The stairwell to the upstairs features plant shelving and is hidden from the entry to the home. Upstairs, the loft area is great for a second family room, game room, or you can opt for the 4th bedroom option. The secondary rooms, both have walk-in closets and are privately away from the owner’s suite. They are separated by the second full bath, which has the option for a second sink if desired. The laundry room is conveniently located up here, allowing you to avoid carrying laundry up and down the stairs.

A double door entry leads you into a 17’ x 14’ owner’s retreat with a huge walk-in closet, lots of windows for natural light, and an optional tray ceiling. The owner’s bath delivers a dual sink vanity and a large walk-in shower. There is also the optional bath layout with the addition of a corner soaking tub or better yet, a free-standing vessel tub, making this bathroom spa-like. Additional features to this home are third car garage, a patio, or extended trussed lanai.
