Deadwood (406-25)

Share Comment

An angular plan with vaults rising to the central, hexagonal fireplace hearth, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom Deadwood (406-25) offers 180 degrees of view potential from the living and dining areas. This uniquely shaped home contains 2,056 square feet of open living space. Stairs lead up to the guest entry, and there is an informal entry into the utility room from the garage.

The vaulted interior begins at the entry, carrying into the great room and beyond. An optional plant shelf over the coat closet would emphasize the vault, yet maintain a separation between the kitchen and living room.

To the right of the entry, the kitchen is unique due to the hexagonal shape of the home. The pantry provides enough space to store the needs of a large family. A garden window brightens the sink, while the dishwasher, range and refrigerator are all located within a short distance. A raised eating bar provides an informal eating area near the dining table.

Just off the dining area, a door leads to a spacious master suite, complete with a window seat and patio doors that lead to a semiprivate deck.

An outdoor planter provides a beautiful separation between this deck and the family deck. Entering past the large walk-in closet, the luxurious bathroom — complete with an oversized tub, a shower, a linen closet and double sinks — awaits use. Bedroom 3 has two large picture windows, while the den has one window. The large linen closet is located by the utility room.

A full bath with a large window is adjacent to the utility room, which contains a sink, washer/dryer and a closet with the forced air unit. This room has been designed for maximum access into the home. The garage contains a large area ideal for a shop/garden tool area or for storing seasonal items. Overall, the Deadwood's shape lends itself for a great daylight basement underneath, if desired.

Dear Scott, Your plan 406-25 appeared the The Intelligencer of Bucks County, PA today, and I think something is amiss. The drawing of the house does not match the floorplan displayed. The number one problem is the garage door on the right side where the master suite is. Also, the roof line does not look right to me. Is it the right graphic or not? Grace
