Featured Craftsman Home Plan:
A backlash against the elaborate Victorian style of the turn of the 20th century, the Craftsman house displays the honesty and simplicity of a truly American house. Its main features are a low-pitched, gabled roof (often hipped) with a wide overhang and exposed roof rafters. Its porches are either full or partial width, with tapered columns or pedestals that extend to the ground level. A combination of natural materials are used, such as wood and stone, and often a combination of more than one type.
With extra touches such as plant ledges, built-in shelves, cubbies and a beamed ceiling in the family room, this bungalow offers plenty of charm for the modern family.
The chef enjoys a walk-in pantry and an island that opens to the spacious family room. A butler’s pantry lies next to the dining room.
Graced by a tray ceiling, the master suite is a true haven with its own private sitting room and bath.
Sloped ceilings can be found in the three remaining bedrooms along with a built-in desk and optional bunk beds in bedroom 4. A computer station sits at the top of the second floor landing.
