House Plan 2558: Weymouth

Weymouth - 2558

Details make the difference between ordinary and extraordinary. Designed for a lot that slopes up, this traditional home plan is enriched by details. Horizontal lap siding and brick complement each other. Multipane windows, brick flower boxes, and a sheltered entry reinforce the upscale appearance of the three-level home. Inside, a towering foyer is capped by a window and anchored by a curved staircase.
The living room and dining room work together for entertaining. Tall tray ceilings and a fireplace surrounded by windows distinguish this hospitality center. Enlightened by a bay window, the den is at the front of the house, handy if it's used as a home office. The den also could serve as a fifth bedroom because it's adjacent to a bath with a shower.

Casual spaces stretch across the back of the house. A fireplace flanked by storage units captures center stage in the family room. In the kitchen, an angular island outfitted with a cooktop boosts functionality. So do a built-in pantry and desk. The eating areas are adjacent to the kitchen, easing meal service whether you're serving soup and sandwiches in the breakfast nook or a ten-course meal in the dining room.

A mud room with laundry facilities serves as a transition between the public spaces and the stairway to the garage. An enclosed room in the garage houses the furnace and water heater.

An oasis of serenity, the master suite is charmed by tray ceilings and stairstep walls that create cozy nooks. A whirlpool tub occupies one such nook in the bath. The bath also harbors a shower and twin sink vanities. Three additional bedrooms and a bath also occupy the second floor.
