Plan Description
This beautiful colonial design is the perfect mix of classic styling and modern interior spaces. As with many contemporary style colonial homes, the façade is defined by elegant arrangements of gables which give the home depth and curb appeal. This home looks great from any angle and will work well on corner or front facing lots. The farmer’s porch is a great feature of this home. The wide trim profiles and gable decorative crowns will add value and appeal.
The entry level hosts a gracious foyer with double height ceilings. Off of the foyer is a formal living and dining area. The mud room off the rear is large and includes a place to take off and store shoes, boots and coats. The kitchen is large and provides space for a breakfast table. The kitchen flows into a comfortably sized family room with a fire place.
The upstairs hosts 4 bedrooms and 3 ½ baths. The Master Suite is a large retreat with a gracious sleeping area including fireplace and his and hers walk in closets. The master bath has a private toilet and a large walk in shower for two. The bedroom above the garage could double as a playroom, office space or guest room.
