PLAN 120-181

This luxurious craftsman cottage offers a large family area convenient to the kitchen and dining areas while still maintaining an 'air' of formality. The floor plan offers plenty of exterior views and numerous covered areas to retreat to and enjoy the outdoors. The master suite offers some flexibility depending on the owners' preference, view opportunities or privacy concerns, such as removing windows for bed wall placement. Some may even find a trendy/creative placement in front of the side window a desirable location. The kitchen and dining areas were located at the rear for the family who finds themselves more oriented to barbecuing and porch sitting - including a back lanai fireplace. The arrangement of the family and kitchen areas provides the ability to enjoy multiple entertaining opportunities at once, for example, conversation around the dining/kitchen bar while the football game is enjoyed in the family room. The master bath is bathed in natural light from high windows, and enjoys a large vanity with dual sinks and a large walk-in closet as well. The secondary bedrooms also have walk-in closets as well as direct bath access. Utility areas are plentiful, including a walk-in pantry, utility room with sink and storage, access to a basement option, and a shop for the do-it-yourselfers. A bonus area over the garage makes a great place to create a media room environment for the hardcore theatre room buff. It could also accommodate additional bedrooms or a guest suite.
