Portsmouth Description - 5899

Exterior window dressing, carriage-style garage doors, and board-and-batten siding lend visual warmth and charm to this English country-style home. Further enhancing the street side view, side-by-side entrances break up the mass of the two-car garages, so that each complex feels like a separate home. The two-story layout clusters together the living areas at the back of the plan, which gives owners a sense of privacy. In addition, high, stationary windows on the side wall of the dining room let in light while they avoid views of adjacent buildings. The layout also caters to home sites with rear views. Vistas may be enjoyed through full-size windows in the rear of the dining room and patio doors in the living room.

The front staircase rises to the upper level, where balconies view the living room and entrance. The laundry closet is on the upper level, and convenient to the two master suites. Each spacious bedroom has private access to a bath and features a vaulted ceiling.
