Brick house plan with an impressive facade

This impressive brick home features a towering portico, which frames the front door with its beautiful sidelights and transoms. Keeping this home from visually overwhelming its environment, the hip-pitched roof is strong on Traditional style. French doors open to a rear patio for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. Formality is achieved by room positioning, yet the floorplan promotes easy living. Two-story ceilings in the foyer and great room help brighten the home by welcoming natural light. Built-in cabinetry flanks the fireplace, and columns punctuate the dining room. A large bonus room provides space for a rec/media room, home gym or guest suite. Other special touches include a pantry, large utility area and vaulted ceiling in the versatile bedroom/study. The master bath's shower even incorporates a seat.
