Rising out of the low surrounding wall, the gable above the entry,
with its elegantly detailed window, is the striking feature of this
Cape style home. Inside, a two-story entrance hall opens on the right
into a dining room/den and on the left into the kitchen. At the rear,
a breakfast nook and great room combine to form a flowing space. A fireplace
sits against one wall of the great room, which has a vaulted ceiling;
in the adjacent wall, French doors open onto a deck overlooking the
rear lawn.
Down a short hallway past a powder room and closet, the master suite
sits at the far corner of the house. It features a large master bedroom
with vaulted ceiling, a large walk-in closet, and a master bath with
glass shower, oversize tub, and dual vanities. A second garage entrance
takes you into the house past a hall closet and a laundry room.
A main staircase with open balustrade leads up to a second floor hall
open on one side to the family room and on the other to the hall below
with a dormer window opening onto the balcony. The hall provides access
to a generous bathroom and two bedrooms, each with a dormer-window view
of the front lawn.
The classic 1-1/2 story Cape form conveys a timeless charm, and the
Castine offers an open great room/kitchen area with vaulted ceiling
and a ground floor master suite. Plans for this house have been carefully
drawn and include authentic details. The layout combines a smooth flow
and an efficient use of space. All of the rooms have large windows and
will accommodate optimal furniture arrangements.
