House height    
Traditionally, the overall height of a house is determined by measuring from the top of the finished floor on the main level, to the highest peak of the roof.
31.5
Ceiling heights    
Raising or lowering the height of the ceilings on one or more floors of a house is often a simple change that can be made by your builder. However, if you want to raise the ceiling of the main floor of a two-story home, there has to be room to add steps to the existing staircase.
  Main level 10
  Upper level 9
Vaulted ceilings    
We consider a room to be vaulted if the ceiling - whether flat, angled, or curved - is above 10 feet at its highest point. If you prefer that one or more rooms not be vaulted in your new home, this is a very simple change that your builder can make for you.

This elegant home was built on property overlooking horse facilities and a spectacular polo field. The design imagery suggests a Kentucky–gentleman’s breeder’s ranch, with wrap–around porches, dormers, and a classic gray and white color scheme with a deep green roof. Driving under and through the house to a drive court in the rear provides access to the three–car garage. A nanny/guest suite with a separate stair is located over the drive–through between the house and a private one–car garage.

A 9’6″–deep porch, with round columns atop stone veneer bases, wraps completely around the front, side and rear of this lovely home. The covered entry leads to a foyer with a dramatic 20′ ceiling, which is revealed before entering the house, by windows above and flanking the front door. A coat closet and powder room are conveniently located in the foyer area.

Just to the left, you pass between elegant columns as you enter the living room. (This room was originally designed to have an 18′ ceiling – which it could still have – but the homeowners had the architect add an exercise room above it.) This room features a large gas fireplace, and three large windows for natural light and views. An open crossing gallery separates the living room from the formal dining room. This room features an inset wall for artwork and furniture, a coffered ceiling that rises to 10′, and a rounded bay with rounded windows flanking double French doors that open to the porch at the rear of the house.

The gallery between these two rooms leads to a glass conservatory/sunroom. This unique room also has a 10′ ceiling, and it features open views in three directions. Two glazed doors at the end of the gallery open to this unique space, and two other glazed doors lead to either the rear or front porch, as well as providing a pass–through from one porch section to another.

A large and open gourmet kitchen is connected to the dining room through a butlerway with a built–in sink and counter space. A walk–in pantry is located here as well. The well thought out kitchen has tons of counter space, and room for a large island. It’s open to a charming rounded nook area that is surrounded by glass. A door leads to a patio that also accesses the rear porch.

The kitchen is also open to the family room. It has a soaring 20′ ceiling, lower and upper windows facing the rear patio and side yard, and a centrally–located built–in gas fireplace and media center. The original homeowners installed a stone veneer mantle that rises all the way to the ceiling, and includes a unique circular window near the top.

A short hallway between the stairs and the family room leads past a walk–in closet, a half bath, and a mudroom on your right and a laundry room on your left before opening to the attached 3–car garage.

An open stairway off the foyer brings you to a landing on the upper level. A bridge that bows out in the middle and looks down to both the family room and the foyer on either side leads either to the master suite, or to three bedrooms and a private guest suite beyond them that the homeowners used as a nanny room. The master bedroom features a 10’6″ ceiling, a fireplace in the corner, and a round sitting area that is surrounded by windows and has a ceiling that vaults to over 12’6″. Double doors open to the master bath area. It includes a private toilet, a large curved–glass shower, a soaking tub surrounded by a counter for plants and high windows, two separated sinks, and a ceiling that vaults to 11′. An opening leads to two walk–in his & hers closets and a large exercise area.

All three additional bedrooms have vaulted ceilings that rise from 6’6″ at the edges to 13’6″ in the middle, walk–in closets, and a full bath, with windows in the gables for light and views. The nanny/guest suite has a 9′ ceiling, a full bath, lots of windows on two sides, and a private stairway to the 1–car garage below it.

The lower level – should you decide to build it – has a rec room with a fireplace, a wet bar and a wine room; a game room large enough for a pool table; a media room; a library; and a full bath. All the ceilings on this level are set at 9′.

Please Note:
All the exterior materials that the homeowners selected are low–maintenance. The lap siding and trim is a cement product with a twenty–year finish. The railings are a vinyl product with a permanent finish color. The bead–board ceiling on the porch is vinyl, and the porch floor is a custom milled wood/plastic product that won’t peel, warp or change color, and looks like vintage gray porch flooring.

Front Elevation For Mountain Luxury

Front Elevation For Mountain Luxury

Brief Description

The 10'–deep covered porch of this stunning luxury home stretches from the right at an angle along the width of a 3–car garage before wrapping around the entire front, side, and rear of the house! This porch is interrupted briefly by a sunroom with glass on all three walls, and when it ends at the rear of the house it turns into an open patio off the family room and breakfast nook. This house was clearly designed for a family that likes to spend a lot of time outdoors, and whose property is surrounded by views. The ceiling in the foyer soars to two stories, as does the one in the family room, while the rest of the rooms on the main level have 10' ceilings.

Select Optional Add-ons

   

Sometimes the house you want will only work on your property if it is built in the reverse of the original design. The plans for this particular design can be reversed by the architect, with right-reading (not mirror-reverse) words and measurements. The fee will only be added to your original order. If you wish to order more reverse copies of the plans later, please call us toll-free at 1-888-388-5735.

$250
   

If you need more than 5 sets, you can add them to your initial order, or order them (by phone) at a later date.

This option is only available to folks ordering the 5-Set Package.

$50 each
   

Often views or site characteristics make it either advantageous or necessary to build a house in the reverse of the way the plans were originally drawn. When reversed, the front of the house continues to face in the same direction, but rooms that were on the right side of the house as you face it will now be on the left, and vice versa. The lettering and numbers will appear as they would if you held the plans up to a mirror, but this will not present a problem for your builders, as they are quite familiar with this process.

We recommend that your order include both right-reading and mirror-reverse copies, since permit officials and lenders will need to see a right-reading version. There is a one-time cost of $50 to reverse the plans, whether you buy them all in your initial purchase, or a follow up order. The number you will need of each version is something your builder should advise you on.

Please note: If a right-reading reverse version of the plans is offered, this is definitely the version you should purchase, whether you're interested in bonds, vellums, or electronic files (when available).

  • What is bond paper?

    Bond paper

    Printers stopped using blue ink many years ago - it was very difficult to read, and the fumes were dangerous to inhale. So what we used to refer to as blueprints are now called bond copies (black ink printed on white bond paper).
  • 5-Set Construction or Bid Set

    5-Set Construction or Bid Set

    If you are building in an area that requires very few copies to construct a house, all you might need is the 5-Set Package. It's also best for folks wanting either a quick bid process, or bids from more than one builder. In either case, you can always purchase more bond copies later on if you need them, or upgrade to a Mylar, PDF or CAD version (your original cost will be deducted from the price of the upgrade). Bond copies cannot be duplicated, but they come with a formal Copyright License that gives you the legal right to construct the house, and to modify the plans beforehand to suit your needs. If allowed in your area, modifications can be "marked up" (some people refer it as "red-lining") right on the plans.
  • What is mylar?

    Mylar

    Vellum paper is no longer being manufactured, so we've switched to a vastly superior product called Mylar. These semi-transparent sheets are actually a thin-film composite that was designed for plan modification, using a simple electric eraser. The ink that is printed on them sits on the surface (instead of sinking into a coated vellum sheet), so lines and dimensions can be erased and redrawn quite easily by any design professional.
  • Plans printed on Mylar

    Plans printed on Mylar

    If you - like the vast majority of our other customers - intend to modify the plans before construction, and you are building in an area where plans can't simply be "marked up" with a red pen, the Mylar copy is definitely what you should order (unless of course you prefer the PDF version). After the changes have been made to this "master" copy, you or your builder can then print as many copies as you need, whenever you need them, on regular bond paper. That way everyone - you, your builder, his or her subcontractors, local permit officials, and your lender - will have the final version of the plans to work with. Even though they cost a bit more initially, they will definitely save you time and money later on. Mylar copies come with a formal Copyright Release giving you the legal right to modify them in any way you wish, and to make as many copies of the plans as you need to successfully build one house. Mylar copies are shipped with a free bond copy of the plans, so that you have something to look over and mark up before making final decisions about the changes you want made to the "master" set.
  • What are PDF electronic files?

    PDF electronic files

    The acronym PDF stands for Portable Document Format. These are electronic files that can be emailed from computer to computer. You can open them on your own computer as well as email them to others, and the Copyright Release you receive with them allows you to make as many copies as you need before and after modifications are made.
  • Plans in PDF format

    Plans in PDF format

    THE most popular way to purchase plans these days is in PDF format. It's no more expensive than the Mylar version, plus you save $30 in shipping fees because the plans are emailed to you. But the biggest reason why they're so popular is because they can be passed along to others via email. The builder can zip them to their sub-contractors, truss manufacturers, and (if needed) an engineer; you can open them on your own computer to view at your home or office; and you can zip them to your builder (or builders), lender, and anyone needing to approve the plans before construction. If you'd still like to make modifications on Mylar sheets, your Copyright Release allows you (or your builder) to do this locally, and you'll only need to print a handful of the most important sheets.
  • What are CAD files?

    CAD files

    The acronym CAD stands for Computer-Aided Design. Design software from AutoCAD and numerous other companies - ArchiCAD, SoftPlan, VectorWorks, etc. - is used to draw plans in a format (DWG - short for drawing) that can be easily manipulated and modified on a computer. This can speed up the process of modification dramatically - for example, a change in one part of the plans creates an automatic change throughout the drawings -- potentially saving the person making the changes quite a bit of time, and thus saving you quite a bit of money!
  • Plans in CAD format

    Plans in CAD format

    Plans purchased in this electronic format are emailed, so you get them right away, and there's no shipping fee. Like the Mylar and PDF options, these plans come with a formal Copyright Release giving you the legal right to modify them in any way you wish, and to make as many copies of the plans as you need to successfully build one house. If the changes you wish to make to our plans are rather extensive, or structural in nature (including changing exterior wall systems), purchasing the plans in CAD format will almost certainly be your best option. Design professionals charge by the hour, and making changes to electronic files is much faster and easier than erasing and redrawing lines and dimensions on a Mylar copy. So purchasing an electronic version of the plans can save you both time and money. The files you receive will provide the drawings in at least two formats: .DWG files that will enable the person modifying your plans to do so using AutoCAD software (the standard for the entire construction and engineering communities); and .PDF files that will enable you to view the plans on your home or office computer. If the plans were originally drawn with a design software program other than AutoCAD (eg. SoftPlan, ArchiCAD, VectorWorks, etc.), this will be noted at the end of the Description of this house, and the email will include these files along with the .DWG and .PDF formats.
Bedrooms

We highly recommend that you click on two boxes – the number of bedrooms you know you need, and one less bedroom. For example, if you need 4 bedrooms, click on the boxes next to 4 and next to 3. Otherwise you will not see homes where existing rooms on the lower, main, or upper levels might work perfectly well as a bedroom instead of as an office, study, etc.
