Avalon entertains on grand scale

Stone veneer, steep rooflines, keystone lintels, and an arched entry evoke the ambiance of a French country estate.

Stone veneer, steep rooflines, keystone lintels, and an arched entry evoke the ambiance of a French country estate.

The Avalon is evocative of a French country estate. Its steeply pitched roof lines, stone veneer facades, keystone lintels, and arched entry all bespeak European influences. Inside, it offers lavishly spacious living quarters, ideal for families who enjoy entertaining guests on a grand scale.

Entering, you step into a two-story foyer with a graceful balustrade curving up to the right. A den (or home office) is to the right, and a large dining room is to the left. Ahead, at center, is a large living room anchored by a masonry fireplace on one end. Atrium or French doors open out onto a large covered patio.

Informal living spaces cluster together on the left, in a large, free-flowing space that holds a family room, kitchen and nook. The totally open kitchen has every convenience, including a large rectangular work island rimmed by a raised eating bar on two sides. Plenty of natural light washes in through wide windows in the nook.    More light spills into the family room through windows on two sides, and a home entertainment center nestles into the rear corner, next to the fireplace.

Laundry appliances are close at hand in a large utility room with a wealth of storage cabinets and two long counters for folding clothes. This space also has a pull-down ironing board and a built-in desk facing a window.

A curved window bay expands the sitting area in the Avalon’s luxurious owners’ suite. Luxury amenities abound, from the huge closet to the luxurious bathroom. Early morning or late at night, the owners will appreciate coming awake or winding down in the hot tub on their private patio.

Visit AssociatedDesigns.com for more information or to search home plans. A review plan of the Avalon 30-306 can be purchased for $25. Associated Design’s “Home Plan Collection,” featuring more than 550 home plans, costs $15. Both are available online, by phone at 800-634-0123 and by mail (add $5 s/h) at Associated Designs, 1100 Jacobs Drive, Eugene, OR 97402.
