Home Interior Style

Home Feature: Simonton

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Our newly finished project Simonton has recently been photographed on  beautiful summer day. Check out the photos of this spectacular home here and on our <a href="http://visbeen.com/">website</a>.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">A home this stately could be found nestled comfortably in the English countryside. The “Simonton” boasts a stone façade, towering rooflines, and graceful arches. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Sprawling across the property, the home features a separate wing for the main level master suite. The interior focal point is the dramatic dining room, which faces the front of the house and opens out onto the front porch. The study, large family room and back patio offer additional gathering places, along with the kitchen’s island and table seating. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">                      </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Three bedroom suites fill the upper level, each with a private bathroom. Two loft areas open to the floor below, giving the home a grand, spacious atmosphere.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX1axXiUdrtoPujl7I4GlrTODMvC0ZBtqIdMDDJPo3FraZocJzo4qDqWT-qN17wkO24TFP_xDDjTeuaMP2qN3r8YBz0evQTq6rIOulvY5XxqHJkt771HAzW-J6gdgkKyCFdjcb9AVnApdC/s1600/SmithExt_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Bunkroom: A Room for Guests and Kids

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Bunk rooms add additional sleeping space for homeowners to accommodate guests or growing families. There are many designs unique to homes due depending on space available and number of additional members to accommodate. Lofted, hanging, built-in and bunk walls are among a few of the designs commonly seen in homes.
