The flavor of rural France suggests the exterior elements for this fine home: stone detailing at the entry and foundation, slatted shutters at the windows and a hipped roof. The layout, however, was designed with pure American ingenuity and livability. A foyer with nine-foot ceiling allows a choice of heading to the left, past the laundry and a half-bath to the master suite, or to the back to the commodious living spaces. The master bedroom is vaulted and features a private bath with dual lavatories and a walk-in closet. The vaulted great room has a huge wall of windows overlooking the rear yard, and a fireplace with adjacent media center. The nearby dining room has a corner window, outdoor access and a ten-foot ceiling. Note the pantry, center island and built-in desk in the kitchen. Two additional bedrooms are located on the upper level. They share a skylit hall bath. Related Plan: For an alternate version, see house plan 69127AM.
