HOME PLAN OF THE WEEK RELEASE DATE: DEC 28TH -JAN 3RD,2014 PLAN NUMBER 5-4-657 CALIFORNIA STYLE BUNGALOW In the secluded courtyard that separates the guestroom from the rest of this delightful California -style bungalow, the clever use of potted plants could create an illusion of Tuscany or Provence. The guestroom, with its own en -suite, fireplace and window seat, as well as lots of cupboard space, will dazzle out-of-town visitors. The space could perform equally well as a studio or home office. Entry to the main living area is via the courtyard and through a covered entry into a small foyer that flows seamlessly into the great room. The coat closet is located just beyond the dining room, around the corner and close to a three-piece bathroom. The great room's French doors open onto a covered patio, making an especially pleasant spot for summertime entertaining and al fresco meals. In the cooler months, a corner fireplace will provide a cozy focal point for gatherings of family and friends. The kitchen, with its U-shaped counter configuration, is located at one end of the great room, enabling the cook to feel connected to family life. A spacious pantry provides extra storage space, and windows over the double sink look onto the courtyard. To the right of the foyer, separated from it by an archway, is the dining room, with a built-in buffet and French doors onto the courtyard. The master suite, which overlooks the back garden, boasts a sitting area with windows on two sides, as well as a walk-in closet. A built-in wet -bar is another welcome addition to this private enclave. In the en -suite, a soaker tub has a window nearby, as well as a tiled surround. The shower stall includes a seat, and double basins will ease the morning and evening rush -hours. Bedrooms 2 and 3 flank the master suite. While one enjoys a walk-in closet, the other has a view of the back garden. Linen and storage closets are nearby. The laundry room can double as a mudroom, thanks to access from the two -vehicle garage. The furnace and hot-water tank occupy a small area in the garage, where room could be found for a workshop. Exterior finishes include stucco, board -and -batten siding, and painted trim, with decorative cross -bars in the gables. An awning, shingled like the roof, shades the guest room's front windows. This home measures 55 feet wide and 78 feet deep, with 2,468 square feet of living space. Plans for design 5-4-657 are available for $758 (set of 5), $856 (set of 8) and $917 for a super set of 10.
