Plan 16503AR

The passive solar gain from this two-story gambrel house layout is maximized to provide energy savings. To make use of all the windows, turn the “solar side” to the south. Off the front porch is where you’ll find the entry. You can see right through to the back of the house from the entrance. There is plenty of counter space in the kitchen, and a service station allows you to entertain guests as you prepare. Casual meals may be served in the breakfast nook while more formal dinners can be served in the spacious formal dining room.

Take note of the mudroom, a fantastic area that reduces clutter in the main part of the house. There are cubbies and a drop table with a charging station included. A built-in recycling area that is accessible from the side door and the garage is another great addition. For your convenience, all of the bedrooms are located upstairs along with the laundry room. The maser has a sizable wardrobe with separate sections for him and her.
