The Applegate

This home’s harmonious medley of arched openings, multiple roof lines and stucco detailing creates a lasting first impression.

The Applegate’s harmonious medley of arched openings, multiple roof lines and stucco detailing creates a lasting first impression.

Multipane windows fill most of the rear, allowing full visual enjoyment of a natural setting, be it lake, river, forest, desert or artful landscaping. Stepped planters and a covered walkway unite the house with its detached garage.

This plan is designed to please families who like a blend of formal and informal living environments. Informal spaces flow together on the left, sleeping areas fill the right wing, and formal rooms are at the center. Storage is ample throughout.

Hardwood floors and high ceilings grace all of the gathering spaces, with carpeting reserved for the den and bedrooms. If needed, the den could serve as another bedroom, or be outfitted as a home office.

The kitchen and nook are window rich, and the gathering room is expanded by a deep window bay. A butcher block work island adds to the plentiful work and storage space, which also includes food and dish pantries.

The built-in desk and shelves are conveniently located for managing household business. Doors on two sides open onto two covered decks, and the large utility room is mere steps away.

Half walls crowned by posts provide minimal separation between the naturally bright dining room and living room. The dining room boasts a built-in hutch, and the living room is warmed by a masonry fireplace nestled between bookcases.

Another wide window bay expands the Applegate’s deluxe owners’ suite. Other luxuries, in addition to a roomy walk-in closet, include twin lavs, private toilet and a walk-in shower.
