Optional choices usually associated with custom homes are found in the stately Carlyle, a home spectacularly designed to meet a wide variety of needs. A dramatic two-story foyer opens to a floor plan that skillfully combines both formal and informal rooms in a very useful manner. Separate living and dining rooms call for formal entertaining and quiet evenings, while the back of the home opens to a spacious country kitchen and dramatic two-story family room, perfect for active living. The focal point of the Carlyle, this "great room" not only is an open design, but also allows those in the kitchen area to interact in family room activities. A main-floor den or home office can also be converted to an optional sunroom, adding to the openness of the design. On the second floor, options abound. You may select the standard four-bedroom plan or replace a bedroom with a loft that can be easily used as a home office or retreat. Should you choose, you know that you will be more than comfortable in the master bedroom suite, where volume ceilings, a large walk-in closet and sumptuous master bath prevail. Set aside for added privacy, the master suite will become the perfect retreat after a busy day. A basement, powder room and first-floor laundry room complete a dramatic design that can be customized to your own particular needs.
