House Plan: DFD-3231

A complimentary pair of structures linked by expansive porches, the Windermere offers a grand estate lifestyle with the flexibility to accommodate large or multigenerational families in luxurious surroundings. The gracefully rounded front porch welcomes visitors into the formal foyer, with living and dining rooms on each side. A powerful axis leads through the dramatic central stair rotunda into the double-height family room. A gigantic gourmet island kitchen and nook complete the large informal living space, along with generous service spaces including a powder room, walk-in coat closet, butlery, walk-in pantry, laundry, and mud room leading to the enormous covered BBQ porch with fireplace. A large den with computer nook, private deck and bathroom doubles as a main floor bedroom suite. Upstairs, the foursquare layout includes a huge vaulted master suite with his-and-hers walk-in closets and a decadent master bath with platform soaking tub, three large secondary bedrooms sharing two large baths and a play loft, a laundry room, an enormous bonus room, and a back stair to the mud room area. An oversize 2-car garage with extra storage depth is attached to the main residence, while the semi-detached 2-car garage includes a second-story studio with bath that works as a home business office, mother-in-law apartment, guest suite, caregiver suite or rental.
