The Berkshire (Download the Flyer)

Picture
1½ Floors / 3 Bedrooms / 2 Bathrooms / Deck (optional) / Balcony (optional) / 1,416 Heated Square Feet
Say goodbye to the city blues and welcome the comfort of the Berkshire, an affordable three-bedroom, two bath contemporary charmer. The steep roof design on the outside keeps winter snow from accumulating and fluf­fing up your heating bills. On the inside, the dramatic cathedral ceiling adds spacious beauty to the living area. Also featured is a window wall covered with double-pane, thermobreak sliding glass doors and a cozy fireplace on one side of the window wall.

​
The central area of the house is comprised of the kitchen and dining area with more sliding glass doors to open onto the optional sundeck. Across from the kitchen is a front entry with an adjacent foyer and closet. A washer/dryer utility area can also be worked into the center of the house for con­venient access. The first floor is finished off with the master bedroom suite. Our two floor plans offer a variety of spaces, one contributing more area in the bedroom while the other has a more roomy vanity area for the bathroom. Both having sliding glass doors that open to your private sundeck.

Options also exist for stairways and the second floor. Both stairways are open to the wonderful view from the fireplace wall with all of its glass. Two bedrooms, a full bath, and addi­tional storage spaces are found in both plans. However, a choice of lay-outs allows you to choose the one best suited for your lifestyle. Either home is a comfortable "California Builders" home designed for todays family.
