Grand Great Room A 16-foot-high ceiling in the foyer makes a grand entry to this contemporary three-bedroom plan. Nine-foot ceilings throughout the rest of the home create a lofty sense of openness. On one side of the foyer, are two smaller bedrooms, separated by a three-piece bath. On the other, is the staircase leading to the basement below. The master bedroom suite is privately situated beyond the stairs, in an exclusive wing with views to the back yard garden. An arched entry leads to the hub of the home, a huge combined kitchen and great room surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. A gas fireplace is centered on the exterior wall of the great room. The adjoining kitchen with its massive work island makes informal entertaining a breeze. The island has a small sink, placed next to the refrigerator so guests can easily help themselves to beverages. A gas range is the only interruption in an impressive length of countertop that is perfect for preparing food. The rectangular dining area can easily accommodate a full- sized table and chairs. A sliding glass door in this space leads to a covered outdoor deck. A hall leading from the kitchen to the laundry room has room for a broom closet and a walk-in pantry. The laundry includes a coat closet and has access to the double garage. Further along the hall is the door to the master suite. Here, an ensuite with dual sinks will delight the busy career couple. Just beyond the ensuite, a large walk-in closet has plenty of room for his and hers clothing. The exterior is accented by river rock trim and a combination of vertical and horizontal wood siding. This house is 48 feet wide by 59 feet, 6 inches deep and has 1,885 square feet of finished living space. Plans include an unfinished basement.
