House Plan 2614: Vernon

Vernon - 2614

Do you love frills and furbelows and romantic places? Then, you'll savor furnishing, decorating, and living in this grand Victorian lady. A veranda sweeps across the front and sides. A two-story turret lends a castle-like aura. The turret hosts the den with built-in storage and a fanciful bedroom.

Stepped back in time, this three-bedroom home is graced with old-fashioned character, such as a stunning staircase in the two-story foyer and first-floor windows topped by transoms. Functionally, the floor plan supports contemporary lifestyles. The kitchen, breakfast nook, and family room open to each other, encouraging family unity. A fireplace graces the large and angular family room. The efficient kitchen revolves around an island, equipped with a cooktop. A swinging door connects the kitchen and formal dining room. A sliding door in the dining room invites guests to enjoy the veranda.

Concealed at the back of the house, the two-car garage opens on the side, making the house perfect for a corner lot. A short hallway leads from the garage to the kitchen, facilitating delivery of groceries. The hall is flanked by a powder room and a laundry room, complete with sink, cabinets and countertop.
