There's a wonderful sense of coming into the house before you reach the front door a well-related building and landscaping plan makes this real. Slab is part carport, part courtyard. Garage, house enclose this area on three sides.
Five Star 2709 represents a gathering together of all that's good in today's building trends. Shaped like a T, the plan is a showcase for ideas inside and out, lot line to lot line. It may be a blueprint for your future, a forecast of a way of living best suited to your family.
The T plan provides distinct separation of quiet and active areas; added wall space brings a view to every room. Deep roof overhang protects glass from direct sun.
Inside, the home is light, open, colorful. Living room and family room have uncommon advantage : maximum outdoor exposure on three sides. Living room is also a dead-end room with no through traffic to disturb conversations. Both family room and living room have companion outdoor living areas screened porch opens off family room and covered terrace adjoins living area.
Bedrooms are isolated in stem of T for additional privacy and quiet. Central entry separates this area from rest of the house. Largest bedroom is literally an "apartment" for parents. Door between bathrooms shuts off this bedroom, bath, and large walk-in closet.
Corridor kitchen has direct route serving family room, porch, and outdoors. Kitchen projects beyond living and family rooms to gain roomier working area. Skylight in ceiling bathes this area with sunlight all day long.
Advantage of T-shaped plan: living room at dead end is away from sleeping and activity areas, free from through traffic. Furniture grouping opens toward recessed brick fireplace, which is tailored to exposed gable ceiling.
Living room adjoins kitchen and terrace. Terrace is under cover of wide sweep of gable roof. With sliding glass doors, outdoor areas become extension of living room. Door shuts kitchen off from formal living area.
