A hillside lot is the perfect place to build the 2415-square- foot Clarkston. The basement level houses a large family room with windows on three sides, allowing you to enjoy all aspects of the surrounding view. With a built-in entertainment center, this is the location for informal fun. Whether watching a video, playing ping-pong or stepping out onto the generous back patio, this room will bring hours of enjoyment for you and your guests.

This level also has two identical bedrooms. This arrangement would be advantageous for older children still living at home. A certain amount of privacy can be had by all while still sharing the many family gathering places in this original floor design. A full bathroom, with linen storage, is adjacent to the bedrooms.Also on this level is a convenient laundry room with a chute from the upper floor.

The top level has a two-car garage facing front, with an entry into the house allowing you to take groceries directly to the kitchen without regard for weather conditions. A vaulted dining room, with windows on two sides, and a small breakfast nook with a rear view, are on either side of the kitchen. This step- saving placement makes serving meals a snap. In addition to all the built-ins, this kitchen design features an eating bar and a large pantry.

The vaulted living room is made for comfort. Sit in your recliner and let the warmth from the corner fireplace relax you as you savor the vista or relish good conversation. When the weather turns sunny, step out onto a back deck that runs the length of the house. A half-bath is located behind the staircase.

The left side of the main floor is taken up by a sumptuous master suite. A vaulted ceiling enhances the spaciousness of this isolated hideaway. Amenities include a private bathroom, twin basins, linen storage and a huge walk-in closet with a laundry chute to the lower-level utility room.
