This Plan 2 model is a two level home with an atrium and spacious garage. Upon entering, there is no formal foyer. You enter directly into the middle of a great room. To the left is the dining room and kitchen and to the right is the living room and atrium. A hallway sits straight ahead with the bathroom, staircase and desk area. The first floor is carpeted apart from the tiled entry area, kitchen and bathroom.

The dining room is a decent size. The door opening towards the dining room limits the size of the area. The kitchen island separates the dining room from the kitchen. The island has space for a couple of bar chairs. The kitchen features granite countertops, white cabinetry with under lighting and stainless steel appliances. There are plenty of cabinets and counter space, but the kitchen lacks a true floor to ceiling pantry. OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The living room is a decent size with a set of large windows facing out to the front and a large sliding glass door on the back side that opens to the atrium. The atrium is a standard size and can fit a small table and a couple of chairs for relaxation or entertaining. It is currently used as a play area for children.

The white cabinetry matches the kitchen and bathroom and includes cabinets and drawers for office use. At the end of the hallway is the garage entrance. The garage is a two-car garage with a larger than normal space to the right for storage.

On the left of the hallway is the bathroom and staircase. The powder room has a single sink. Unique to the bathroom is that the far wall, past the toilet is a storage closet which sits under the staircase.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA On the way upstairs, the wall along the stairs has a built-in bookcase. On top of the staircase is a small loft area that has space for a desk, reading area or small play area. A large window brings in an abundance of light into the area. To the right is a hallway leading to the bedrooms. On the right is a set of linen closets.  Across from the linen closet is a single closet door which fits a stackable washer/dryer combo.

The secondary bedroom is a standard size with two sets of windows on two adjacent walls. There is a closet with mirrored sliding doors. The bedroom has an attached bathroom with a single sink and a large tub/shower combo.

Across the hall is the master bedroom. The master bedroom is on the smaller side but can nicely fit a bed, nightstands and a television/armoire. It has high ceilings and a walk-in closet located in the bedroom. The bathroom has double sinks with chrome hardware and white cabinetry, a large tub and a nice sized shower with a bench. A window sits above the tub, which brings in natural light into the area. OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Overall this home is nice with the extra loft space, built-in desk on the first floor and the atrium. It is also nice with the extra space in the garage. The home is walking distance to Stonegate Elementary School and the community amenities.
