Featured Contemporary House Plan:
The common characteristic of this style includes simple, clean lines with large windows devoid of decorative trim. The exteriors are a mixture of siding, stucco, stone, brick and wood. The roof can be flat or shallow pitched, often with great overhangs. Many ranch house plans are made with this contemporary aesthetic.
A stately exterior and light-filled interiors characterize this two-story, three- or four-bedroom home whose inviting entry leads to a central gallery.
The living and dining rooms, graced with a cathedral ceiling and an energy-saving fireplace, generate much charm. Facing the backyard, the informal spaces flow together smoothly.
The kitchen, with windows and bar, opens to the family room and the cheerful dinette set in a semi-circular window wall. The multi-purpose mudroom is nearby.
In a separate zone, the master suite boasts a private terrace and a luxury bath, adorned with a shower stall and a whirlpool hot tub.
Two bedrooms and a loft on the upper level share a skylighted bath. Brightened by clerestory windows, the loft can be a fourth bedroom.
