Home plan: Large windows keep house airy

A combination of brick and wood with large windows complements the exterior of the Plitt.

The covered porch has posts set in brick with railings between adding classic lines to this home. The two-car garage is on the left side and faces away from the front of the home.

The vaulted entry is filled with light from skylights. The formal vaulted dining area, decorated by plant shelves over high walls and a bay window is on the right.

To the left is a studio with a hidden sink, TV and video equipment and extra shelves. A bay window and an overhead fan add character to this room. Outside the studio are two closets and a half-bath.

The family room has a pellet stove in the front corner with a fan overhead to circulate the heat. There are three large windows across the back overlooking the back yard.

A door opens onto a screened porch on the right and one opens onto the deck to the left. The room is large and ideal for family gatherings.

The kitchen has double sinks with a huge garden window, a trash compactor and a raised dishwasher on the rear wall. The island has a vegetable sink and counter space in the center. The other wall houses the refrigerator, a large corner pantry, built-in microwave oven and a cooktop with a grill. The eating bar runs on the outside of this counter area.

Bedrooms 2 and 3 are on right side. Each has their own fan, large wall closet and big windows. There is a full bath with a tub between them. Beyond the second bedroom is the vaulted screened porch.

The master suite in the 2,277-square-foot Plitt has a vaulted ceiling with a fan, five large windows and a patio door opening onto the deck.

The master bath has two sinks, an oversized raised spa tub and an oversized shower.

A linen closet is across from an enormous walk-in closet. A pocket door in the closet allows access to the utility room with its sewing counter, a sink, an ironing board and a clothes rod.

The door to the garage is outside the utility room. A full height storage cabinet is on the sidewall along with the water softener, water heater and forced air unit.
