Home Plan: Old World meets modern amenities

Rich stone and charming shutters give an Old World feeling to the exterior of this French Country-style home. The entry porch leads to a wide-open floor plan. Dining and family spaces are vaulted on either side of a see-through fireplace. In the kitchen, a large island is ideal for entertaining and the walk-in-pantry adds storage. The one-level plan includes four bedrooms, each offering direct access to a bath. Three of the bedrooms boast walk-in closets. The master suite features his-and-her closets, as well as dual sinks and a soaking tub in the bathroom. The master bedroom opens to a private patio with an ornamental trellis and outdoor fireplace. A study/den and a future bonus area over the garage provide room for work or play.
