House height
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.

A covered porch area with three arched openings spans a good portion of the front of the house. As you pass through the front door you enter a foyer with a dramatic 19′ ceiling. Double doors on your left open to a den that could also be used as a study, guest room, or home office, and the formal dining room is on your right. Straight ahead, after passing beneath a narrow area with a 9′ ceiling that supports the hallway on the upper level, the ceiling again rises to 19′ in the spacious living room. A curved wall of stacked windows that extend almost to the ceiling looks out to the covered deck and the views beyond, and a large fireplace provides another focal point to this grand space.
The kitchen is perfectly positioned to access all of the living spaces in the house. It features an island with a double sink on top and a dishwasher below, lots of counter space, a small desk, and a walk–in pantry in the corner. A long countertop with cabinets below separates the kitchen from a casual dining area that is filled with sunlight during the day. A door in this area leads to both the covered and open deck at the rear of the house. Also open to the kitchen are a casual living space with a corner fireplace that can also be seen from the kitchen area, and the formal dining room. Between the kitchen and the 4–car garage is a large combination mudroom and laundry.
The other side of the house is devoted to the master bedroom suite and bedroom 2. The master bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, three large side–by–side windows for natural light and views, and doors leading to both the aforementioned covered deck and another covered private deck. Double doors open to the master bath. It features a large soaking tub framed by windows in two directions, an extra large shower, two separate sinks, and a private toilet. A door in the bathroom opens to a truly enormous walk–in closet.
Bedrooms 3 and 4 are located on the upper level, and each has its own full bathroom. The remainder of the upper floor was used by the original homeowners as a play area for their children. A portion of the ceilings in Bedroom 3 and Children’s Retreat have sloping ceilings that are opened up with dormers.
Should you choose to construct the basement, you can add up to 2,000 sf of living space. As designed, it includes a 5th bedroom with a full bath, a home office, a library, and a large entertainment area with a full bar and a lounge. Most of the lower level has a ceiling height of 9’9″ but some rooms, such as the closet, bathrooms, hallway, bar, and part of the recreation room and library have a ceiling height of 8&39;9″. The lounge space has a ceiling height of 8’2″.

Brief Description
Views abound in all directions in this stunningly attractive house. The facade is composed of stucco and synthetic stone, with lots of interesting accents and details. Gables and gabled dormers contrast beautifully with the front–sloping French Country–style roof, and the multi–paned windows add to the overall effect. This same attention to detail is reflected in the interior of the house as well.

- What is bond paper?
Bond paper
Printers stopped using blue ink many years ago - it was very difficult to read, and the fumes were dangerous to inhale. So what we used to refer to as blueprints are now called bond copies (black ink printed on white bond paper). - 5-Set Construction or Bid Set
5-Set Construction or Bid Set
If you are building in an area that requires very few copies to construct a house, all you might need is the 5-Set Package. It's also best for folks wanting either a quick bid process, or bids from more than one builder. In either case, you can always purchase more bond copies later on if you need them, or upgrade to a Mylar, PDF or CAD version (your original cost will be deducted from the price of the upgrade). Bond copies cannot be duplicated, but they come with a formal Copyright License that gives you the legal right to construct the house, and to modify the plans beforehand to suit your needs. If allowed in your area, modifications can be "marked up" (some people refer it as "red-lining") right on the plans. - What is mylar?
Mylar
Vellum paper is no longer being manufactured, so we've switched to a vastly superior product called Mylar. These semi-transparent sheets are actually a thin-film composite that was designed for plan modification, using a simple electric eraser. The ink that is printed on them sits on the surface (instead of sinking into a coated vellum sheet), so lines and dimensions can be erased and redrawn quite easily by any design professional. - Plans printed on Mylar
Plans printed on Mylar
If you - like the vast majority of our other customers - intend to modify the plans before construction, and you are building in an area where plans can't simply be "marked up" with a red pen, the Mylar copy is definitely what you should order (unless of course you prefer the PDF version). After the changes have been made to this "master" copy, you or your builder can then print as many copies as you need, whenever you need them, on regular bond paper. That way everyone - you, your builder, his or her subcontractors, local permit officials, and your lender - will have the final version of the plans to work with. Even though they cost a bit more initially, they will definitely save you time and money later on. Mylar copies come with a formal Copyright Release giving you the legal right to modify them in any way you wish, and to make as many copies of the plans as you need to successfully build one house. Mylar copies are shipped with a free bond copy of the plans, so that you have something to look over and mark up before making final decisions about the changes you want made to the "master" set. - What are PDF electronic files?
PDF electronic files
The acronym PDF stands for Portable Document Format. These are electronic files that can be emailed from computer to computer. You can open them on your own computer as well as email them to others, and the Copyright Release you receive with them allows you to make as many copies as you need before and after modifications are made. - Plans in PDF format
Plans in PDF format
THE most popular way to purchase plans these days is in PDF format. It's no more expensive than the Mylar version, plus you save $30 in shipping fees because the plans are emailed to you. But the biggest reason why they're so popular is because they can be passed along to others via email. The builder can zip them to their sub-contractors, truss manufacturers, and (if needed) an engineer; you can open them on your own computer to view at your home or office; and you can zip them to your builder (or builders), lender, and anyone needing to approve the plans before construction. If you'd still like to make modifications on Mylar sheets, your Copyright Release allows you (or your builder) to do this locally, and you'll only need to print a handful of the most important sheets. - What are CAD files?
CAD files
The acronym CAD stands for Computer-Aided Design. Design software from AutoCAD and numerous other companies - ArchiCAD, SoftPlan, VectorWorks, etc. - is used to draw plans in a format (DWG - short for drawing) that can be easily manipulated and modified on a computer. This can speed up the process of modification dramatically - for example, a change in one part of the plans creates an automatic change throughout the drawings -- potentially saving the person making the changes quite a bit of time, and thus saving you quite a bit of money! - Plans in CAD format
Plans in CAD format
Plans purchased in this electronic format are emailed, so you get them right away, and there's no shipping fee. Like the Mylar and PDF options, these plans come with a formal Copyright Release giving you the legal right to modify them in any way you wish, and to make as many copies of the plans as you need to successfully build one house. If the changes you wish to make to our plans are rather extensive, or structural in nature (including changing exterior wall systems), purchasing the plans in CAD format will almost certainly be your best option. Design professionals charge by the hour, and making changes to electronic files is much faster and easier than erasing and redrawing lines and dimensions on a Mylar copy. So purchasing an electronic version of the plans can save you both time and money. The files you receive will provide the drawings in at least two formats: .DWG files that will enable the person modifying your plans to do so using AutoCAD software (the standard for the entire construction and engineering communities); and .PDF files that will enable you to view the plans on your home or office computer. If the plans were originally drawn with a design software program other than AutoCAD (eg. SoftPlan, ArchiCAD, VectorWorks, etc.), this will be noted at the end of the Description of this house, and the email will include these files along with the .DWG and .PDF formats.
