The repeating gables, front porch and subtle window treatment of this one and one-half story home plan lend a welcoming air. Inside, high ceilings in most of the downstairs rooms add volume and light. Located off the entry, the formal dining room can also be used as a parlor. In back, the good-sized great room features a 13-foot ceiling and a raised-hearth fireplace flanked by transom windows. French doors open to the well-planned, U-shaped kitchen, which includes a pantry closet and a peninsula snack bar that separates it from the light-filled breakfast room. The secluded master suite is distinguished by a nicely detailed ceiling and a compartmented bath with walk-in closet, his and her sinks, whirlpool tub and separate shower. Upstairs, a hallway with a convenient built-in bookcase leads to two bedrooms and the second full bathroom. See plan 40766DB for a version using Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) construction.
