Design Home Field of Dreams

Home Field of Dreams

The front of this classic house has a 9 foot deep front porch that connects to a screened porch that extends beyond the right edge of the house.

Some of our customers have had the porch extend all the way to the corner, and then added a screened porch off the dining room. A pair of glazed doors open to the foyer. The living room is on the right, and double doors on the left open to a library/study.

Straight ahead the original homeowners wanted a free–standing fireplace facing the living room, with built–in bookshelves on the other three sides, but this fireplace could of course be removed or repositioned if you'd like a larger and more open living room (which would change from 13'x19' to 21'x19').

The kitchen has room for a large center island with a conveniently located desk at one end, and two small pantries. Again, windows line two walls for plenty of light and views to the rear and side. Just off the kitchen three stairs step down to the family entry space. From here there's access to the side of the house (where the detached garage was located), a mudroom with closets and a powder room, and the basement level (should you choose to construct it).

Upstairs there's a master suite and two bedrooms. The master bedroom has windows facing the rear and one side, and a huge walk–in closet, while the bath has both a tub with a view and a shower. The two other bedrooms are identical in size, each with views to the front and sides, and they share a full bath.
