Sightlines to the family room allow for connected living without compromising the home’s classical structure.

  • Central island for prep and seating
  • Walk-in pantry or extended storage options

  • Dual vanities and enclosed shower options
  • Secondary bedrooms with shared or dedicated baths
  • Central hallway maintaining symmetry and balance
