Symmetry is the order of the day in this plan. Cedar shingles and stone accents further the attraction. The floor plan is nicely designed, with formal living and dining areas flanking the foyer, and casual living to the back. A convenient butler's pantry connects the dining room and the service hall to the kitchen. Choose an optional pocket door to separate the living room and the family room. The informal nook features double doors to a rear patio and a built-in desk to help keep you organized. Upstairs rooms include a vaulted master suite and three family bedrooms, one of which may be used as a den. The master bath is worthy of note as it contains a huge walk-in closet, separate shower and spa tub and compartmented toilet. Bonus space over the garage can become a fifth bedroom, a game room or home office space in the future.
Country house plans are similar to farmhouse style plans. They are usually two story with a covered front or wrap around porch. Quite colonial, the footprint is often boxy or rectangular shaped. Many country house designs feature a centred entryway with stacked single hung windows.
This home is a gorgeous example of one of our craftsman houseplans. In the mid-1970s, a revivalism of sorts began among American collectors and preservationists. Pottery, glassworks, furniture, lighting, and houses from the turn of the 20th century were rediscovered and being celebrated for their simplicity of design and traditional beauty. These artistic remnants of the Arts and Crafts movement, which thrived from 1876-1915 continue to be celebrated today.
Our Shingle style home plans typically comprise homes with steeply pitched roof lines, and shingle covered walls. They also have a smooth surface appearance with little or no decoration. There is also usually a covered porch.
In the Shingle style, English influence was combined with the renewed interest in Colonial American architecture which followed the 1876 celebration of the Centennial.Architects emulated colonial houses' plain, shingled surfaces as well as their massing, whether in the simple gable of McKim Mead and White's Low House or in the complex massing of Kragsyde, which looked almost as if a colonial house had been fancifully expanded over many years. This impression of the passage of time was enhanced by the use of shingles. Some architects, in order to attain a weathered look on a new building, even had the cedar shakes dipped in buttermilk, dried and then installed, to leave a grayish tinge to the façade.
