Colorado Home Design is a Beautiful Rambling Bungalow

Craftsman-style bungalows reached their peak of popularity in the early 1900s. The Colorado is an attractive update of that style that is captivating to look at.

Decorative wooden corbels accent gable peaks and lower rooflines. Simple stickwork highlights the vaulted porch, shingles fill the upper sections of front gables, and Craftsman-style windows sparkle across a front facade underscored by stone veneer wainscoting.

Constructing this home on a downhill sloped lot creates the space needed for a daylight basement and covered patio below the wrap-around suspended deck on the main floor.

Gathering spaces and an owners' suite fill the main floor. Atrium doors in the bright, vaulted living room access the deck as do similar doors in the owners' suite and screened porch. This home is clearly designed for easy access to outdoor living.

The living room features a masonry fireplace and a home entertainment center. A two-sided fireplace can be viewed from both the den and the kitchen.

Range and oven are built into the large work island at the center of this luxurious kitchen. A raised conversation bar rims one edge. Other amenities include: built-in desks, and a sunny nook with a long window seat lining the bay window.

A vaulted ceiling expands the owners' suite. It features two walk-in closets, and two interconnected master bathrooms, each with its own shower, vanity and toilet!

Two more bedrooms are upstairs, on either side of the vaulted loft. Each has its own bathroom.
