Many features of the Craftsman-style design have been incorporated in this basement-entry plan. The gabled roof line, feature shutters and paned windows, along with vertical siding, brick details and an inviting front porch give the house a charm that is sure to turn heads. An abundance of windows makes sure the interior is bathed with natural light. On the lower level a den is located next to the front door. This is particularly convenient if the room is to be used as a home office, because it means that visitors will be able to step immediately into the office. A good-sized laundry room and storage space are placed off the foyer. The unfinished main-floor area offers plenty of room for future expansion, with roughed-in plumbing for a bathroom and space for two future bedrooms, if desired. A large rectangular area would make an ideal recreation room, with access to a covered patio at the rear. Upstairs, the great room is the focal point of the living area, with a bayed window and gas fireplace to take care of light and heat. The great room is open to a dining area large enough for family meals and for entertaining. Sliding glass doors open on to an expansive sun deck, with its implicit invitation to enjoy outdoor meals or relax in the sunshine. The U-shaped kitchen will bring joy to the cook’s hearts, with plenty of countertop space, a breakfast bar and a walk-in pantry . The master suite occupies the rear of the house and provides a walk-in closet and a two-piece en suite bathroom. Bedrooms two and three are side-by-side at the front of the house and share the main bathroom, which nicely divides the sleeping areas and adds privacy to the master suite. The house is 38 feet, 4 inches wide and 50 feet, 4 inches deep with 1,337 square feet of finished living space.
