Texas Hillside.

Stone shrouded details enhance the solid character of this family-friendly 1.5-story house plan.   Grand impressions are made on the inside, beneath the entry and great room’s 2-story-high ceiling.  The great room, with views to the rear through a covered deck, shares a see-thru fireplace with the hearth room.  The kitchen, open to the hearth room and dining area, boasts generous counter space, a work island, built-in desk, and walk-in pantry.   The home’s 3-car garage is accessed from the kitchen through a mudroom/utility area, complete with laundry, powder bath, bench, lockers, and a handy catch-all. The master suite rests quietly away from the hustle and bustle of the main-floor living areas.   Its bath is well appointed with his and her vanities, compartmented toilet, spacious shower and roomy walk-in closet with built-in dressing seat.   Upstairs, the three secondary bedrooms enjoy their own privacy.   Each bedroom includes a walk-in closet.  Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a Jack-n- Jill bath with compartmented toilet and tub.  Bedroom 4 benefits from access to its own bath. Additional intriguing points of this house plan include views from second-story balconies to the great room and entry area below, as well as open views above and below from the U-shaped stairway.
