Oceanview 10-258 Cedar shakes cover the roof and exterior walls of the Oceanview, which is somewhat unusual for a contemporary home. But it's when you step inside that the uniqueness of this plan becomes really apparent. At center is a vaulted and naturally illuminated hexagonal great room. Light streams down through skylights in each of six wedge-shaped ceiling sections and washes in through windows in the three rear walls that rim the covered deck. The hefty woodstove is centrally located. In the kitchen and nook, the ceiling drops to an 8-foot height, more practical for focusing artificial light sources on the cooking island, appliance center and eating area. Sink, eating bar and one of several counters extend out into the vaulted central area. Long ledges over the kitchen and office/guest room make ideal locations for plants or displays. Utilities and a large walk-in pantry are but steps away. Two bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet, share a two-section bathroom. The two-car garage has built-in storage and a workbench. Luxuries and space abound in the vaulted owners' suite. Double doors access a covered deck designed to accommodate a spa. Inside, you can lie in bed and watch flames dance in a large fireplace, or relax on a couch or easy chair in the private sitting area. The Oceanview's walk-in closet is quite large, and across from it there's yet another closet. Other amenities include a corner spa tub and dual vanity. A pocket door can close off the toilet and shower. The direct exterior access is handy for outdoor spa users.
