Description of Home Plan - Interior
All the basics of a well planed home design are here in a very efficient 1688 sq. ft. package (expandable to 1968 sq ft). Attached 1,2 or 3 Car Garages, 3 Bedrooms with a Master Bedroom and a Master Bathroom on the 1st floor, Large Island in Kitchen, Large Dining Room with a 6' Patio Door, 2 very Large Bathrooms, one Large 1/2 Bathroom, 2 Large Walk in Closets, one in each of the Master Bedrooms, up to 6 linen/pantry closets, 1 potential 5’ pantry/utility closet, Make Up Room, separate Office Room, potential stackable washer/dryer on 1st floor or even 2nd floor, Basement (full washer and dryer). Uniquely designed Large Completely Open Basement (no steel beam or posts to intrude on your space). Dramatics everywhere you look. Appearing to look like a flat roof it actually has a 5” slope each 20’, for adequate drainage.
1st Floor Visuals:
Walking thru the front door, dramatic would be the word to describe the visuals. The amazing, 2 very Large Picture Windows on the front wall light up the inside 2 Story High Ceiling in the Living Room as well as the Picture Window over the Entrance Door. The 4 - 2’x 4’ Picture Windows, 16’ high on the side walls in the Living Room are breathtaking. A Total of 7 large windows shine light in the Living Room. The Open Staircase with a 5’ Balcony Railing adds to the dramatics. Picture a Ceiling Fan and 4 Recessed Lights directly above you in the 16’ high Living Room Ceiling and maybe a Gas or Electic Fireplace on the open side wall in the Living Room with a 7' Flat Screen TV above it. Openness is the theme here, as from the Front Door you see the Large Open Island Kitchen designed for minimum 4-5 barstools. Again, Kitchen and Living room all open into the Dining Room. Picture the Dining Room with a Showpiece Chandalier over the large dining table with a 6’ Patio Door leading to the outside deck. Thru the hallway a 4’ coat closet is next with a 5’ pantry/utility closet across from it (plenty of closets everywhere). The 1/2 Bath accommodates a 36” vanity. There is room for a stackable washer and dryer with closet space in the 1/2 Bathroom. Next is the large Master Bedroom and Master Bathroom all on the Main Floor with a huge Walk-In Closet in the Master Bedroom. The Master Bathroom is dramatic also. Its large enough to include a 4’ Whirlpool Corner Tub with jets, a 5’ long vanity with 1 or 2 sink bowls, a toilet and a walk in shower with 2 possible sizes - 36” x 36” basic shower or enlarged 42” x 42” shower.
2nd Floor Visuals:
As we walk up the Dramatic Stairway near the front door we get to re-view all the dramatic angles of the Living Room and Open Kitchen again. At the top of the stairway is the 5’ Balcony overlooking the Living Room and all of the Dramatic 7 Picture Windows. Turning to enter the Hallway is 3rd and smaller of the 3 bedrooms. Still good size at 10’7” x 12’ with a 5’ closet. Next down the Hallway on one side is a “flex area” 20’ x 5’ that we have choosen to be 2 separate small rooms. 1 room is a Private Office (5’ x 8’) with a 5’ wide built-in desk and 2’ bifold door closet to store supplies and an area for a file cabinet along with a 2’x4’ opening window too. In the middle of the hallway is the 2nd floor Master Bathroom opening to the Hallway (it can have doors to the Bedroom and Hallway or only to Hallway). This Bathroom is enormous with room for a 4' Corner Whirlpool Tub, a 36" Shower, a 5' Vanity, Toilet and 2' Linen Closet. The 2nd room, walking down the Hallway further on the same side is the ladies “Make-Up Room” 7’6” x 5’. Specifcally designed to accommodate a 5’ wide built-in granite top with a mirror and behind that another smaller 5’ granite top with mirror and wall cabinets on each side, this room also gets a 2’x4’ opening window. Is she going to like this or what…The flexible area with the separate office and make-up room can be modified to include many possibilites - example - a utility room with washer and dryer, storage area, small kids play room etc.Across from the make up room is another large 3’ wide linen closet in the hallway.
