Who wouldn’t love a home that flows beautifully into natural surroundings? These sleek designs emphasize the home’s relationship with the outdoors via large windows, prominent patios, and materials like shingle and stone.
Lots of Light
An abundance of windows lets light stream into this contemporary home. A covered patio offers French-door access to the two-story dining room. The great room sits at the heart of the home with a corner fireplace and built-in media center. The home office is placed adjacent to the well-appointed master suite. The rear patio boasts a built-in BBQ area ideal for outdoor entertaining. The second level houses two family bedrooms with full baths and a library with built-in amenities.

Fits Right In
Sleek lines and a surprisingly compact footprint (just 44 feet by 42 feet) make this a stylish choice for a smaller lot. The kitchen opens to the family room and dining nook. Upstairs, a skylight brightens the loft. The master suite boasts a large walk-in closet, separate shower and tub, and easy access to the nearby utility room. A secondary bedroom has a private bath.
