Two-story homes truly maximize usable space on a lot - essentially, you get twice as much home with the same amount of lot space as a one-story home. But that's not the only - or even best reason - to build this one. Its merit is decided by an enchanting exterior and an expertly executed floor plan. An angled entry opens to a foyer that contains a half-bath, coat closet and the stairway to the upper level. A home office with window seat is at the front of the plan; the vaulted great room and dining area are at the back. A fireplace keeps gatherings cozy in the great room; a covered porch off the dining area makes room for al fresco meals. The kitchen is near an entry to the three-car garage, through a convenient laundry room.
