House Plan with 2 Story Foyer and a Grand Staircase

Double doors topped by a transom, a two-story foyer, and a sculptural staircase-such imposing first impressions promise more to come

And, this plan upholds the promise

The home is configured for many kinds of functions

The communal family area stretches across the back and is flooded with light from walls of windows

The functional L-shaped kitchen features a walk-in pantry and an island with a downdraft-cooktop and a snack counter

Across the central hall lie two other utility areas-a bath with shower and a laundry room with cabinets, counter, sink, and closet

A home office with a private entry offers business-like seclusion

Quiet times can be shared in the bay-windowed library, which opens off the foyer via elegant French doors

Highlighted by tray ceilings, the living and dining rooms occupy a wing of their own, ideal for formal gatherings

The second floor hosts a lavish master suite, two additional bedrooms, a compartmentalized bath, and a bonus room, which can be tailored to your needs

NOTE: The office is an optional bonus area adding an additional 209 sq
