It's never too late to have a happy childhood - or the exact home you want. This one includes many thoughtful elements that add up to comfortable living: formal and informal spaces, an island kitchen with nook, a vaulted den, a three-car garage and bonus space on the upper level. Except for the vaulted areas (den and living room), all rooms have nine-foot ceilings. Both the master bedroom and family room have fireplaces. The one in the family room shines through to the den as well. A sitting area in the master bedroom provides ample space for a comfortable lounge in front of its hearth. The laundry room is located on the upper level - a most practical consideration. Built-in aspects such as a work desk in the kitchen, a media center and bookshelves in the family room, and a linen closet in the upstairs hall make this plan that much more special.
