Traditionally, the overall height of a house is determined by measuring from the top of the finished floor on the main level, to the highest peak of the roof.

| Ceiling heights Raising or lowering the height of the ceilings on one or more floors of a house is often a simple change that can be made by your builder. However, if you want to raise the ceiling of the main floor of a two-story home, there has to be room to add steps to the existing staircase. |

| Vaulted ceilings
We consider a room to be vaulted if the ceiling - whether flat, angled, or curved - is above 10 feet at its highest point. If you prefer that one or more rooms not be vaulted in your new home, this is a very simple change that your builder can make for you.

After coming off of the covered front porch, you enter a spacious and open living area. The ceiling in the living room angles sharply up from 9′ at the room’s edges to a flat 11′. A niche on one wall accommodates a fireplace next to a built–in for media. The room is open to the dining and kitchen spaces, creating an open and flexible environment. The kitchen features a useful “L” shaped counter with a raised eating or serving counter between it and the dining and living rooms. As you go down the hall, you pass a bedroom on your left, and a mudroom and a full bath on your right, before entering the master suite. The mudroom has a long coat closet and a niche for a bench, and provides access to the lower level as well as to the side yard. The master bedroom features a vaulted ceiling just like the one in the living room, a huge walk– in closet with a conveniently located washer and dryer, and sliding glass doors to a rear deck. The master bath has room for both a whirlpool tub and a large shower, a private toilet in the shower area, and two sinks.
Since the original home was built with a full basement underground, light wells were included to bring in light and natural ventilation to the lower level. On a sloped lot, this could easily be a walk– out basement. A large family room provides additional space for relaxing and entertaining. A bedroom with a full bath across the hall, and a utility/storage room, are also located on this (optional) lower level, with room left over for another bedroom suite or an office that could otherwise just be used for storage.
