Candlenut has well-planned arrangement

If the privacy of a well-isolated master suite is important to you, consider the Candlenut (333-070). The master suite and secondary bedrooms couldn't be much farther apart.

This arrangement allows teenagers to crank the volume a few decibels higher before the adults yell at them to turn it down.

Family living areas are at the center. Formal spaces, living room and dining room, face the street, while the family room and kitchen extend along the back.

Both the family room and the living room are large. Vaulted ceilings and a wealth of windows make them seem even larger. In the family room, a fireplace punches out one of the back corners and sliding glass doors open onto a custom-shaped deck.

The family room could be more fully enclosed, if desired, by adding a wall parallel to the basement stairs and creating a corridor between the nook and bedrooms. Add a big screen television and speakers in the four corners, and you've got a hi-tech home theater.

Skylights and another set of sliders make the nook an attractive setting for beginning the day. The large country kitchen comes equipped with a number of popular amenities: a garden window, pantry, eating bar, trash compactor, and built-in range, oven and dishwasher. The dining room is close but well separated from the kitchen.

A comfortable utility room, complete with a deep utility sink and a long counter, is close to the kitchen, master suite and garage. The garage has a long workbench with overhead cabinets for keeping household maintenance equipment and supplies organized and out of sight.

Luxuries in the master suite include a large walk-in closet, and a private bathroom with twin basins and a huge two-person spa tub that could have two shower heads. The other two bedrooms share a bathroom that's equipped with twin lays and a combination tub and shower.
