Stately Southwest Noranda Boasts Large, Varied Living Space

The Southwest style Noranda is a large and stately brick house plan. The corner quoins reinforce the image of permanence while the arched stepped-brick entryway and the herringbone-patterned chimney inset adds eye-catching appeal.

A variety of group living environments are found on the main floor, with the great room being the largest. Windowed front and back, it has a hardwood floor, a lofty 12-foot ceiling, and a fireplace. Double doors open to a partially covered patio.

Kitchen and dining room flow together, separated by a wall section and the eating bar. The dining room is spacious, and the vaulted ceiling makes it feel even larger. This room, too, features a fireplace and double-door access to the patio.

Tile covers the floor of a kitchen with ample room for a team of cooks to work together. The utility room and pantry are just around the corner, in a long passageway that connects the kitchen to the three-car garage. The full bathroom at the end of this hallway is nice for garage access. It's also convenient to a guest suite.

Den, library hall and owners' suite nestle together in the quiet wing to the right of the great room. Shelving fills the library hall. Luxury amenities in the vaulted owners' suite include a large walk-in closet and a plush private bathroom.

Two large bedrooms are upstairs, where they share a centrally located shower. Each bedroom has its own private toilet and lav. A separate second floor accessible only from the garage provides storage.
