house plan

Southern Living, Feb 2004

Stately dormers and a broad front porch detailed with Craftsman touches evoke a picturesque country house. The Shannon focuses on comfortable living with a wide foyer leading you directly into a family room that also opens into the kitchen and breakfast room. A fireplace is shared by these areas, carrying the warmth and tranquility of a cozy hearth into rooms often used for casual entertaining. Opposite the family room and kitchen is the master bedroom. A bay window welcomes natural light in to a room designed as the homeowners' private space.

Upstairs, three bedrooms are placed around a lofty balcony area. A bonus room above the garage offers future living space, which would be great for a playroom or teenager's retreat.
