A hip roof, symmetrical flanking wings, and a long porch are the distinguishing
details of this home, which recalls an old English country manor. Inside,
a two-story center hall opens on the left and right into a formal living
and dining rooms. At the far end, the family room, breakfast nook, and
kitchen form an open, flowing space that extends the width of the house’s
central wing. The family-room ceiling stretches to two stories, and
a fireplace sits against one wall, while French doors in the adjacent
wall open onto a deck overlooking the rear lawn. A garage entrance leads
past a laundry area and into the kitchen. At the other end of the first
floor, secluded in its own wing, the master suite features two walk-in
closets and a master bath with glass shower, oversize tub, and dual
vanities.
A wide staircase with open balustrade leads to a second-floor hall
wide enough for furniture and open on one side to the family room and
on the other to the entrance below. Three upstairs bedrooms, each with
a large closet share a cmpartmented hall bathroom, and a home office
sits under the eaves of the garage, with storage space on both sides
of it.
The classic two-story colonial conveys a timeless elegance, and the
Manchester offers a ground floor master suite, as well as a home office
upstairs. 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.
