Strawberry perfect for first home

The 1,309 square foot Strawberry (404-42) would make an excellent purchase for the first time home buyer. For a family with small children, the floor design for the Strawberry offers a substantial amount for your building dollar.

The handsome wood exterior projects a solid permanence and adds greatly to the curb appeal. The covered front porch leads to a recessed entry that has a vaulted ceiling and a roomy coat closet for the convenience of your guests.

To the left of the entry are the sleeping areas. The master suite, for a home this size, is quite spacious and features a large walk-in closet with plenty of shelves, window to the back yard, and a private bathroom. Across the hall, and in perfect proximity for those with youngsters needing close attention, are two good-sized bedrooms. Each has sufficient closet space, and one contains a built-in desk. This room, if not needed for use as a bedroom, could function as a sewing room, den or home office. In the hallway are a full bathroom and a linen closet.

The main section of this floor plan, where family activities and entertaining are centered, is designated as a great room. This combines the living room, family room and dining room into one huge uncluttered expanse. Here you and your visitors can enjoy a movie, board game or good conversation. The adjacent walk-in kitchen is placed for maximum efficiency. Along with all the appliances, there is a step-in pantry. Meals are easily served in the dining area or, weather permitting; open the sliding glass doors and dine on the back patio.

An added feature is the direct access to the kitchen from the garage via the utility room. This allows you to carry groceries right into the house without worrying about the climate outside.
