Home plan

The Splendor is an unusual design with the garage on the first floor and the main rooms on the second floor.

The rear and left sides of this home are on post and beams. This would be ideal for a home on the beach or near water.

The brick face and the zigzag front stairs add charm and warmth to this home.

There are four landings before entering the vaulted family room. The huge vaulted family room has fans and a corner fireplace, with patio doors opening onto the side deck.

The formal dining room is set apart with walls and also has a door that opens onto the front porch.

The kitchen and utility room occupy the left rear corner. The U-shaped kitchen has many amenities including a lazy Suzan, trash compactor, dual sinks, an island in the center containing the ovens, an overhead fan and a long eating bar. The nook is very large with a door opening onto the rear deck. An office is also in this area with a door from the nook and a pocket door from the master suite.

The balance of the rear of the home is the master suite. There is an enormous elongated walk-in closet with a skylight overhead. There is also another walk-in closet in the rear corner next to the bath. The master bath has a corner spa tub, an oversized corner shower, dual sinks, and a long corner linen closet. All are enhanced with the light from glass blocks.

The front of the Splendor has two more bedrooms with the stairs to the garage level. Both bedrooms have walk-in closets. There are three linen closets in this area. The attic is above the hall and bathroom areas and the pull down stairs are just outside the bath.

This different home has a dumb waiter that goes to the rear of the two-car garage, which also has a large storage room, and an area in the rear where the dumb waiter comes down that could be used as a recreation room.
