This beautiful home plan has a unique floor design and an attractive exterior that enhances its curb appeal. A covered front porch adds a homey touch to welcome visitors. Designed as a starter home plan, the 1,685 square foot design is well suited to meeting the needs of a young family. The master suite is located near the other two bedrooms, while the sound separation provided by the two bathrooms and the closets, offers an element of privacy. The master suite amenities include a huge sleeping area, a private bath with custom shower, and a nice sized walk-in closet. The family living areas are centrally located. Shelves flank the wide, open fireplace in the living room. An open-style kitchen is separated from the nook and the dining room by a work island. Placement of the sink in the work island eliminates the isolation often experience by clean-up crews when the work area faces the wall. Light beaming through the sliding glass doors brightens the spacious nook, and a pantry offers additional storage space for food. Those who prefer relaxed living space to formality may prefer to use the living area as a family room. This large vaulted room offers plenty of space for family gatherings and entertaining. An added feature is the unfinished attic, a space that could be used for storage or a recreation room. Another extra is the enclosed RV storage area located to the right of the spacious two-car garage.

The hexagon’s spacious qualities, enhanced by a lofty vaulted ceiling, give a wide-open feeling to the great room. Wide decks expand the usable living space still further, wrapping around most of the back of the home plan and spanning one section of the front as well. Windows on three sides add brightness while ceiling fans circulate heat in winter, cool air in summer. A huge walk-in pantry provides visual separation between the living room/dining room and the long, dogleg-shaped kitchen. As an added feature, one wall of shelves inside the pantry opens into a section of kitchen cabinets, both above and below counter level. Other amenities in the kitchen include double ovens and microwave, built-in cooktop and dishwasher. The secluded master suite is off in a world its own, in the small entire wing to the right of the great room. It has a generous walk-in closet, private bathroom with oversize spa tub, and a second vanity in the dressing area outside the bathroom. French doors open onto the rear deck. Filling the left wing are a second bedroom, utility, bathroom, garage and a den that could serve as an office or hobby room. Twin vanities add a touch of luxury to the small bathroom. Pocket doors at the end of the hallway, adjacent to the garage, hide a comfortable-sized utility room complete with sink and counter. The owners of this home plan won’t need to bring a vacuum cleaner with them when they move in. A central vacuuming system, based in the garage, can be used by simply plugging a hose into a jack in any room in the house.

Constructed with a handsome shake roof and lap siding, the curb appeal of this plan evident. A large columnar front porch, trimmed in brick, adds to the overall beauty. The graceful formal entry has a tiled floor and vaulted ceiling. To the right, it leads into the living room and formal dining area, both with vaulted ceilings. The living room has a large bay window to provide an excellent view. A built-in hutch for your good China is in the dining room. To the left of the entry is the home office and the isolated master suite boasting a vaulted ceiling over the sleeping area, a huge walk-in closet, home security system to assure your safety, a long vanity and a private bathroom with shower, raised tub and twin basins. The family room is quite large and is open to the kitchen. It has a vaulted ceiling, multiple skylights, a gas fireplace, plenty of windows and access to a large back deck. The walk-through kitchen has a large garden window to check out the summer fun on the deck, double ovens, walk-in pantry, island cooktop, eating bar and an octagonal breakfast nook that catches all the available sunlight. There are three secondary bedrooms. All offer ample closet space and a view window. Bedroom 2, nearest the bathroom, has a built-in desk and might be useful as guest accommodations, sewing room or music room. The floor design offers a second level bonus room with 818 square feet of space. This area could be that private office or den where escape from the family is possible. The plan finishes with a full utility room conveniently located with an entrance to the three-car garage with a shop and storage area, accessible independent of the garage area by a service door directly into that area. Ceilings: 8’. Foundation: crawl space.

Bay windows, turrets and arches increase the appeal of the front elevation of this magnificent traditional design. In the rear, multiple openings to several verandas help integrate the interior with the backyard. The floor plan is enhanced by arches, interior columns and high ceilings, with a two-story ceiling in the living room and tray ceilings in the leisure room and the master bedroom. The study and the living room share a two-sided fireplace. In the family area, an entertainment center is featured in the leisure room, while the spacious kitchen contains a walk-in pantry, a cooktop island and an angled eating bar. A pass-through also serves the veranda. His and her walk-in closets and a huge luxurious bath with every amenity are included in the master suite. Upstairs, three bedrooms share two full baths.
