Dream Home Plans & House Plans With a View From

This modest–sized home is designed to take advantage of views to both the front and side. Interesting angles and shapes add architectural appeal and character. The exterior of this rugged design is a combination of plank siding with cedar shingles above, painted metal roofing, and rough sawn cedar corner posts and trim. Round accent windows, and the pointed end of the home (like the bow of a ship), are designed to fit in a waterfront location, but clearly would be at home overlooking any view.

Entry into the home is via a small formal entry. An angled hallway to the right leads to two bedrooms and a full bath. To the left of the entry, the home opens up to the kitchen, dining and living room areas of the home. The open design of this area allows for immediate views through the two levels of windows in the living room. The stone chimney of the fireplace goes up past the balcony of the upper level, all the way to the vaulted ceilings above the living room.

The entire upper level of the home is dedicated to a spacious master suite. It has vaulted wood ceilings above the bed area, abundant view windows, a large master bath, and a large walk–in closet. The balcony off the master bedroom overlooks the living room and its two levels of windows below.

Note that the original home was designed with stairs leading down to a tall, but not stand–up, crawlspace. This feature makes the addition of a full height basement level fairly simple, if desired. If a basement is not added, this space can be used as mechanical or utility storage.
