Elaine works well for entertaining

The floor plan of the Elaine (404-29) is a design that will work exceptionally well for empty nesters that frequently entertain overnight guests, or that share their home with an aging parent or college age offspring. This 2,189 square foot beauty has a multitude of amenities and requires a deep, narrow lot for construction.

Immediately to the right of the entry is an impressive suite that will provide privacy and comfortable accommodations for any visitors or extended family members. The guest suite includes a functional vanity with mirror above and several handy drawers below, plenty of windows to enjoy the view and a private bathroom.

The open family room is spacious and made for entertaining. The added features are an optional wet bar TV/Stereo center and a fireplace guaranteed to keep everyone warm as long as the conversation continues. A contiguous nook, with an elegant built-in hutch and bay window, will surely make any meal more gratifying.

The walk-through kitchen is not only roomy; it has all the attributes that a conscientious host would consider essential. Here you have a raised eating bar, cook top, double ovens, appliance center and walk-in pantry. When the early sun is shining, breakfast on the back deck will be a treat.
