The glasswork captures it all - breath-taking views and wildlife. Stone and cedar shake make the home seem as if it has grown from nature. An impressive barrel-vault entryway leads into an equally impressive interior. Exposed wood beams and columns bring the outdoors inside. Flanking closets and art niches lead from the foyer to an open hall and great room. The dining room connects to the kitchen by a pass-thru. A bowed breakfast nook features a built-in banquette. Screened porches and open porches take living outside. The sleeping quarters are located on one side of the house, separate from the gathering rooms, and aside from the versatile bedroom/study, the master bedroom and secondary bedrooms have their own private baths and walk-in closets. www.dongardner.com/house-plan/5001/the-hickory-place/. *Photographed home may have been modified from the original construction documents.*

Old-World style meets modern-day comfort in this gorgeous design. Stone and stucco create quite the exterior, while an efficient and elegant interior is every family’s dream. Beginning in the garage, this three-car space includes a separate bay that is ideal for a workshop or motorcycle, if not a third car. The mudroom is the first room off the garage, so dirty shoes or backpacks are never left out in the more formal areas. The sprawling kitchen features an adjacent hearth room with fireplace and built-ins, as well as a nearby breakfast room. A walk-in pantry is also an added treat. Just steps away is the great room, which is a perfect gathering spot for more formal occasions. The screened and rear porches are delightful places to spend time outdoors. In the rear of the home, the master suite accesses one porch and includes a window seat, two walk-in closets and an elegant master bath. A flexible bedroom/study is in the front of the home and is a great guest suite or home office. Upstairs, three bedrooms share two baths, while a large bonus room is a wonderful family space.
