House Plan 2701: Orono

Orono - 2701

It's graceful and gracious and spacious. This two-story home plan is enriched by architectural details both inside and out. The stucco exterior is accented with corner quoins and keystones above the windows. The side-facing garage is subtly obscured from view. The interior is graced with two fireplaces, a bevy of built-ins, and stately columns that mark room boundaries. This remarkable house offers generous spaces for a full range of activities. There's an office, complete with a private entrance. A dining room and living room flank the two-story foyer, providing formal spaces for entertaining. A centrally located wet bar and a butler's pantry beside the dining room help make hosting a breeze.

There's space aplenty for family life at the rear of the house, an area linked to the great outdoors with walls of windows and a French door. An angular island, equipped with a self-venting cooktop and a snack counter, supplements work space in the efficient kitchen. A walk-in pantry supplements storage.

Notice the unusual staircase. It lets you ascend to the sleeping quarters from two directions. The top level accommodates a master suite, three additional bedrooms and a compartmentalized bath. A gallery with a railing overlooks the windowed dining nook.
