House Plan 7167: Albion

Albion - 7167

Arts and Crafts touches, such as flared porch columns, board-and-batten siding, and overhanging eaves with brackets, distinguish the exterior of this home. A two-story central corridor, however, characterizes the interior. The two-story ceiling stretches from the foyer, past the U-shape staircase, to the great room. An upper-level balcony, which is visible from both spaces, tames the ceiling height by offering a midway focal point. Formal and informal dining areas flank the kitchen. Each area features windows on two walls, making for sun-filled banquets. The kitchen has an angled peninsula counter with a snack bar and a pantry. The master suite has all of the amenities youll want, including a large window with rear view. A spa tub, dual-sink vanity, and walk-in closet outfit the bath. The main level also features a home office, a half bath, and a laundry room.

Older children will welcome the bedroom layout of the upper level, where two bedrooms are on opposite sides of the home for privacy. A study off the staircase landing provides an out-of-the-way place to read, study, or do homework.
