Traditional-Style Eldon Makes Room for a Large Family

Framed posts, brick veneer and painted shutters give a traditional-style look to the otherwise contemporary Eldon house plan. This four-bedroom home is well-suited for a family with children. Gathering spaces are large, and the owners' suite is isolated from the other bedrooms.

Entering the home, you step right into the vaulted great room which is centrally located partially open to the kitchen and nook. A direct-vent gas fireplace is in the rear corner, next to a wall of glass: two windows and a door. This space is bright, as well as spacious. The door provides access to a wide patio.

Double doors near the front open into another large room. Possibilities for use include a den, media room, a study area with one or more computers, exercise and hobby room, or formal dining room. The possibilities are endless.

Cupboard and counter spaces are ample in the roomy kitchen. The nook is cozy and naturally bright - a great place for hanging out in the morning, and sharing family meals.

A passthrough utility room connects kitchen and garage. Across from the laundry appliances is a small powder room. Family members with wet or muddy shoes can quickly dash in and out without tracking up any carpets.

An extra thick layer of insulation buffers sound between the kitchen and owners' suite. Features here include: his-n-hers walk-in closets, oversized shower, dual vanity and private toilet.

The three secondary bedrooms share another bathroom, this one has glass blocks on the exterior wall, over the bathtub. Both of the front bedrooms feature walk-in closets.
