Accented with brick, this spectacular traditional home plan offers massive Palladian windows and a 16' columned entry that opens to the foyer through double doors. Once inside, you see the elegant formal living room straight ahead and the formal dining room to one side. The family room and kitchen area offer a cooktop island and a snack bar. The family room is filled with beautiful windows and a slider out to the patio. Totally luxurious, the master suite includes his-and-her walk-in closets and vanities, a garden tub and separate shower. On the other side of the house, two family bedrooms share a bath. A den or fourth bedroom completes the floor. Bonus space over the three-car garage could become a play room or perhaps another bedroom. Foundation: slab.

With its colonnaded entry porch, hip roof lines and double entry doors with arched transom, this symmetrical, stately home recalls colonial estate design. Inside, all main living areas are in the back of the home for the view. A formal dining room and parlor flank the large entry, where a sweeping staircase leads to a balcony overlooking both the entry and the family room. The two-story family room adjoins the library and the covered porch. The kitchen, abounding in counter space and including an island, flows into the breakfast area. The first-floor master suite includes its own fireplace, a compartmented bath with separate tub and shower and twin walk-in closets and sinks. A powder room, utility room and another bedroom with its own bath complete the first floor. The upstairs comprises two more identical bedrooms and baths. Foundation: basement, slab or crawl space.

Imagine entertaining and the wonderful family gatherings that can be enjoyed in this home plan. Wonderful columns surround the spacious dining room as well as welcome you into the vast great room. Exquisite French doors lead to both the lanai and hearth room. Retire for the evening to your private master suite, complete with sitting and personal exercise areas. Then relax in the fabulous whirlpool bath with beautiful glass blocks that allow soothing natural sunlight. Upstairs, you'll have plenty of open space the kids or visitors can call their own.
