Craftsman-Style Heartford has Rustic Exterior with a Modern Floor Plan

Featured House Plan of the Week, Craftsman Home Plan, House Plan, Hartford 10-420

Stone veneer columns and decorative roof supports draw eyes to Craftsman home plan's beautiful vaulted entry.

The Heartford's shingle siding and stone veneer wainscoting give a rustic look to this otherwise thoroughly modern home. A wealth of uniquely shaped multi-paned windows sparkles across the front and rear walls, creating gathering spaces that are naturally bright.

In the vaulted foyer, light flows in through sidelights and transom windows, while more washes down through a bank of clerestory windows above. The rear wall of the great room is almost entirely glass, as is the sidewall of the dining area. Windows flank the fireplace, and another wide window fronts the kitchen sink.

All of the gathering spaces cluster together in the central section, with the apex of the vaulted ceiling running down the middle, front to rear. The owners' suite in the left wing is a retreat, well isolated from the busy areas. Garage and secondary bedrooms are in the right wing.

The large kitchen is almost completely open to the great room. Its raised eating bar and flat, 13-foot ceiling create the boundary. Counters wrap around four sides, and storage cabinets are many. The handy work island and large walk-in pantry add more useful space.

Utilities are close by, in a pass-through room that links to the garage.

Amenities in the luxurious owners' suite include: two large walk-in closets, and a vaulted bathroom outfitted with a spa tub, oversized shower, double vanity and linen hutch.

The den/office has a stately stepped ceiling. It could be built with (or without) doors that link it to the owners' suite.
