It's rich with architectural detailings, and yet this home plan is eminently practical. On the exterior, stepped rooflines and an interplay of textures - lap siding, shingles, and stone - lend intrigue. Inside, built-ins throughout the house add well-crafted character and provide storage and display space. Handsomely topped by a square large transom, the front door opens to the formal foyer, where steps climb to the main level. (Concealed by a door, steps also lead down to the double garage.) A central hall carries family and friends to the private study at the front of the house and to the wide-open family area at the back. A fireplace in the living room sets the stage for cheerful winter evenings. Sliding patio doors bring in balmy breezes in warmer weather. Particularly efficient, the L-shape kitchen is anchored by an island, outfitted with a sink and dishwasher.
