Boston

Brick detailing and a trio of stately gables crown the front of this traditional 2-story house plan. Just inside, a two-story-high entry area centers itself between the den and formal dining room. Farther inside, the great room invites guests to linger near its fireplace and built-in bookcases. Lying open to the great room is the breakfast area and kitchen, which feature an angled island workspace, walk-in pantry, and access to the rear patio. Just off the kitchen, a family-friendly mudroom intercepts traffic from the 3-car garage. The mudroom itself features a coat closet, catch-all area, built-in lockers and shelves, and access to a convenient powder bath.

The second level is home to all sleeping quarters. The stylish master suite is well-separated from the secondary bedrooms and includes a large walk-in closet just off the bedroom. The master bath has a corner tub, shower, and compartmented toilet. The three secondary bedrooms share a centrally located hall bath. Bedroom 4 features built-in bookshelves and lies just outside the laundry area. As an added point of interest, the hallway's banister affords views to the entry area below.
