Sloped-Lot Special

Here's a plan that really maximizes a hillside lot. The main level invites everyone to step out to the large deck, which also connects to the master suite. Upstairs, two more bedrooms share a hall bathroom and a fun laundry chute. The lower level holds a variety of recreational spaces, including a craft room and office. A safe room resides down here as well. See more images, information, and the floor plans.

Multi-Generational Layout

This unique layout is well-suited to today’s complex living situations, with a second master suite that can be used by an elderly parent, a grown child, or maybe even a young couple. Each master suite features a spacious bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a private bathroom with a large shower. A third bedroom uses the nearby hall bath. In the middle, the ultra-open layout gives lots of room for family to gather, with seating at the kitchen’s island and a sunroom for catching rays. The generous covered porch in back invites cookouts and outdoor fun. Other special features include the kitchen’s walk-in pantry and a safe room in the three-car garage.
