Elizabeth (337-030)

Share Comment

The 2,706-square-foot Elizabeth (337-030) is the ideal home for an expanding family. Not only does this four-bedroom, two-bathroom plan offer plenty of space, it gives more for the building dollar. Constructed with a handsome shake roof and lap siding, the curb appeal of the Elizabeth is evident. A large columnar front porch, trimmed in brick, adds to the overall beauty.

The graceful formal entry has a tiled floor and vaulted ceiling. To the right, it leads into the living room and formal dining area, both with vaulted ceilings. The living room has a large bay window to provide an excellent view. The dining room contains a built-in hutch for your good china.

To the left of the entry is the home office, almost a necessity these days, and the isolated master suite. The master suite boasts a vaulted ceiling over the sleeping area, a huge walk-in closet, a home security system to assure your safety, a long vanity and a private bathroom with a shower, a raised tub and twin basins.

The family room is quite large and opens to the kitchen. The family room has a vaulted ceiling, multiple skylights, a gas fireplace, plenty of windows and access to a back deck.

The walk-through kitchen has a garden window to check out the summer fun on the deck, double ovens, a walk-in pantry, an island cooktop, an eating bar and an octagonal breakfast nook that catches all the available sunlight.

For ease of clean up, a raised dishwasher has been provided, making bending unnecessary.

There are three secondary bedrooms. All three offer ample closet space and a view window. Bedroom two has a built-in desk and might be useful as guest accommodations, a sewing room or a music room.

The floor design of the Elizabeth offers a second level bonus room with 818 square feet of space. This unique area could be made into a private office or a den where escape from the family is possible.

The plan finishes with a full utility room conveniently located with an entrance to the three-car garage. The garage has a shop and storage area, accessible independent of the garage area by a service door directly into that area.
