The Franklin
|
|
It’s all hands on deck—and deck and deck and porch and porch—when things get going in this home where days and nights were made for inside-out living, rain or shine. Family and guests alike can immerse their senses in the great outdoors without sacrificing the comforts of home, thanks to living areas that look out or open up onto wraparound decks and porches. An outdoor kitchen on the foundation level is just icing on the cake.
Meanwhile, residents can find seclusion (when needed) on the other side of the home, where sleeping quarters are housed in a segregated structure. The 3 levels of living areas are connected by conventional construction that routes traffic back and forth between the bedrooms while also acting as a buffer zone.

No one rains on your parade—or your barbecue, for that matter. The skies may have opened up, but your party carries on under the protection of the foundation-level porch. Steaks and brats are sizzling on the grill, and the burners of the outdoor kitchen are making sure all the trimmings are ready to go as well.
You’ve got loyal company on the porch, but the rest of the group is just as happy watching you do all the work from the inside, where the weekly pool tournament is going strong and the steady whirring of the blender means someone is hard at work at the bar. When it’s all over, everyone will find common ground in the media room, where the Die Hard marathon is sure to run into the wee hours.

2 primary structures help separate public spaces from private. A secluded master suite anchors half the house, while the other half features a multifunctional great room and a kitchen with walk-in pantry. A window-filled, turret-style dining alcove extends out onto the deck, which embraces the living area on all 4sides.
Public and private areas are bridged by a sitting room with view-side bay window.

On the master-suite side, take either the elevator or the majestic front stair tower with multiple windows up to 2 additional bedrooms and a shared bathroom. On the opposite end of the house, a flexible loft area overlooks the great room while still enjoying front- and back-side views.

From the main level, the stair tower leads down to a utility room and a half bath, both conveniently placed just off the garage. Nearby, a rear foyer leads to a rec room, media room and turret-style bar area. Covered porches with pier supports frame the lower level on 2 sides and provide shelter for an outdoor kitchen.
