The Emmett Valley is a compact, informal home with an open spacious feeling. This single-level plan could easily be adapted to accommodate a wheelchair. Most of the exterior is lap siding with stucco relief trim.
A small porch bounded by a wooden railing adds curb appeal. Inside, slender windows, along with the oval window in the door, brighten the entry. A double-wide closet is around the corner to the right.
Straight ahead is the comfortable great room and a large bright kitchen. Three wide windows fill most of the back wall and more light spills down from above through four rectangular skylights. A sliding-glass door opens onto the large railed deck that is also accessible from the master suite.
In the great room, a hearth of brick and tile is in one corner, creating a warm focal point. The large open kitchen fills the other corner. A raised eating bar separates the dining area from the kitchen.
The dishwasher is raised to minimize bending. Counter space is ample and a large walk-in pantry augments the available storage capacity.
Utilities are just a few steps away in a pass-through utility room, complete with cabinets and a counter for folding clothes. The garage, too, has built-in cabinets and a long L-shaped workbench.
The isolated master suite provides complete privacy in an attractive atmosphere. Amenities include a walk-in closet, twin basins, separately enclosed shower and toilet. The guest room and office are at the other end of the house. The guest bedroom has a set of built-in bookshelves.
