Country Manor Home

The simple details of this French country style home give it an old world charm, with its wooden plank shutters, stone veneer, and arched windows.

The first floor features a beautifully arranged and well thought out open plan around a dramatic, centrally located great room, and the upper media room and optional bonus room would work well for a large or growing family. Optional floor layouts for the upper floor are included, which provides greater flexibility.

As you climb the stairs to the upper floor, a door at the mid–landing opens into an optional bonus room located over the garage. After coming to the second floor, a pair of doors to the right opens into a media room. To the left, a balcony leads to a bedroom with a full bath. An overlook looks down to the great room below, and has a window seat that looks out to the front, which is flanked by shelves on either side. The overlook leads to two more bedrooms, each with its own walk–in closet, separated by a full bathroom with private sink areas.

The covered entry porch leads to an entrance hall, with the great room straight ahead. The great room has a glazed door and windows that look out to the open terrace at the rear. More windows above reach the two–story high ceiling, bringing in additional sunlight and views. An impressive fireplace on one wall is flanked by built ins on either side. The great room is open to a spacious kitchen with a large sunny breakfast nook. A large center island with a prep sink adds to the look and functionality of the kitchen area. From there, a mudroom leads to a walk–in pantry, a laundry room, and a three car garage. An open stairway next to the kitchen leads to the upper floor, and just beyond it is a formal dining room.
