Heartsong designed for modern life

The Heartsong is a Craftsman home designed to meet the complex needs of a modern family, plus it's great for entertaining. The spacious and bright family room is totally open to the kitchen, as well as the comfortably large, bayed dining room.

The front facade is intriguing. Handsome brick bases support slender twin posts that frame and accent the covered porch, while gables, shutters and crown moldings draw eyes to the windows.

Entering, you step into a vaulted entry. Posts on the left flank the passageway into a bayed living room with a fireplace. A similar passageway on the right opens into the secondary bedroom wing. Walking straight ahead, you can enjoy art works displayed on the gallery walls that lead to the high-ceilinged family room.

This spacious family living area has yet another fireplace. Bookcases filling the wall on both sides can also be used for housing a home entertainment center, storing board games or displaying art objects.

A raised and gracefully curved eating bar rims the front of a work island that houses the sink and dishwasher. Standing here, a person can remain fully engaged in conversations throughout the dining and family areas, while keeping an eye on activities in the back yard and patio.

Laundry appliances are mere steps away, just past the stairway to the bonus room. The long utility room has a half-bath at the far end, and links directly to the garage.

The Heartsong's vaulted master suite boasts a luxurious bathroom, huge walk-in closet and double door access to a private covered patio, ideal for a hot tub or spa.
