House Plan: DFD-8265

This elegant country cottage features shake siding with brick accents, charming gables and a gracious front porch. The plan is designed for a steep down-slope lot surprising guests by its unconventional upside down design. Foyer stairs lead down to the secondary areas of the house. Even more surprising is your entry into a lower loft that overlooks a two-story recreation room, taking full advantage of the severe hillside condition it was designed for. On the main level a spacious amenity packed master suite dominates one whole side of the house featuring oversized his and hers closets, a walk-in shower and long vanity with angled side mirrors. The kitchen opens to the cozy breakfast/keeping room that doubles as a sunroom. The lower level features one bedroom with private bath and two with a Jack & Jill bath arrangement. The ground level offers the option of a fifth bedroom and bath, recreation room and some basement storage. Another unique feature is the suspended garage slab allowing for additional basement storage on the middle level.
