The Lamar

Brick veneer gives a look of solid permanence to the Lamar, a compact home with a spacious great room at its heart.

Brick veneer gives a look of solid permanence to the Lamar, a compact home with a spacious great room at its heart. An arched window filled with glass blocks adds a unique dash of grace and charm to the front facade.

This low-maintenance home is ideal for young families, empty nesters and singles. Its one-level layout also makes it easily adaptable for wheelchair accessibility.

Entering, you step into a vaulted entry with a coat closet to the right, kitchen-dining room access on the left. A pocket door slides closed to conceal the cooking and dining area.

The great room, too, is vaulted and open to the kitchen. At waist level, a peninsular counter marks the boundary. Overhead, a high plant or display shelf spans the juncture, where the vaulted ceiling transitions to an 8-foothigh kitchen ceiling.

Sliding glass doors at the rear open into a wide screened porch, ideal for outdoor dining. Potted plants thrive in this sunny space.

The Lamar’s kitchendining room is surprisingly spacious. Plenty of room here for family and friends to hang around and chat with the cooks or cleanup crew. Utilities are handy, but out of sight, tucked in a pass-through space that connects with the garage. Groceries can be unloaded safely and conveniently, moving directly from garage to kitchen.

Owners’ suite amenities include twin linen closets and a large walkin closet. Soft light filters into the bathroom through glass blocks. Secondary bedrooms, or a bedroom and a study, share a bathroom on the opposite side of the house.
