Rambling And Rustic Shingle Style House Plan

With rambling and rustic flair, this Shingle-style home exudes an understated elegance

Suggestive of its forbears, which were primarily vacation cottages, this design features a guest-house-like wing, marked with a large Palladian window

Here the living spaces resonate with simplicity and livability

At the front of the home, double doors give the office privacy from the rest of the plan

The dining room resides on the opposite end of the foyer, accompanied by a wine cellar, pantry and large service counter

The upper level is advantageous for older children: Each of two suites features a walk-in closet and desk for storing kids' wardrobes, toys, and homework

Down the hall, the media/playroom showcases a bow window, which appears to beckon the kids to a recess from work and study.
