Greatroom Suits Modern Tastes

Just a few steps inside and you can begin enjoying the panoramic view. Windows fill most of the rear-facing walls in the expansive hexagonal great room that forms the core of this handsome midsize home. A wide-hearthed fireplace stands ready to provide warmth and color when darkness falls. Shake siding and tapered stone veneer masonry help this home blend easily into a forested or other natural setting. At the same time, the plan is equally well-suited to a wide city lot with an attractive back yard. Families that enjoy outdoor living will find plenty of space to do it on the broad, partially covered deck that sweeps across the entire rear. Lounge chairs, picnic tables, porch swings, potted plants, a hot tub, you name it -- there's ample space for all of these and more. Even from inside, it's easy to enjoy the view. The kitchen is fully open to the great room, separated only by a peninsular counter. Family and friends who aren't helping in the kitchen will enjoy hanging out along the extended conversation bar. Counter and cupboard space are amply supplied, and a generous walk-in pantry adds still more storage capacity. Laundry appliances are nearby in a fully outfitted utility room complete with a deep sink, storage shelves, cupboards, and a counter for folding clothes. The owners' suite is well-separated from the secondary bedrooms, and rich in amenities. It boasts a huge walk-in closet, twin vanities, oversized shower, soaking tub, and private water closet, plus direct access to the deck through a set of atrium doors. The other bedrooms also have exterior doors that open onto the deck.
