Multipaned windows wrap around three sides of the half-octagon kitchen bay of the Donald, offering a panoramic view.
The kitchen’s octagonal protrusion creates one of several interesting roofline variations, which give the home a Tudor look. Truncated gables and rough-sawn board trim on the stucco exterior add to the Tudor styling.
The kitchen is large with plenty of counter space and cabinets. The kitchen also provides an open walkway to the dining area. An eating bar separates the kitchen area and the dining room, but the core of the plan is open, front to back. Less formal families might prefer combining the dining and living rooms into one big family room.
The living room has a large window overlooking the back yard as well as a set of sliding doors opening onto the patio. With the short distance to the kitchen, this makes a great spot for having friends over for barbecues or family gatherings.
The Donald has a large master bedroom with double vanity sinks in the dressing room between the bathroom and walk-in closet. Pocket doors separate the bathing area and the walk-in closet from the rest of the suite.
Two additional bedrooms beyond the master suite share a linen closet and a full bath across the hall. Each bedroom has wall closets and large windows.
Bonus space in the walk-through utility room could be used for sewing, exercise machines or extra storage. There would room for the freezer or a built-in pantry if needed. A door opens into the garage and another opens to the yard. There is also extra room for storage at the rear of this large two-car area.
