RICHLAND (D6787)The Richland (D6787) is a versatile home
in that it is narrow so it will fit those odd shaped lots;it is an excellent size to be either a first time home-ownerís dream or the home for the empty nester. Ithas good eye appeal from the street with its cleanlines, large windows, and a two-car garage that is setback and does not protrude too far beyond the rest ofthe home.
Crossing the covered porch, the entry tothe Richland is a small alcove with a coat closet onthe left. Straight forward is the great room and to theleft are bedrooms. The great room has a large fire-place on the rear wall with a window on each side,overlooking the backyard. Sliding glass doors on theleft side opening onto a covered porch in the rear.
A large dining area and the kitchen com-plete the large great room. The kitchen is in the rightfront corner. There is an ìLî shaped counter with apantry on the end along with an island containingdual sinks and an eating bar. It is open and facing themain great room. Stairs to an optional basement areacross from the kitchen. The basement if finishedcould have 1,333 square feet of usable space.
The bedrooms are on each side of thehome. On the left are two bedrooms with a full bathbetween. Bedroom 2 has a wall closet and two win-dows that bathe the room in natural light. Bedroom 3
has a corner walk-in closet and large windows over-looking the front yard. The full bath has a tub, singlesink, and a linen closet.
Behind the two-car garage, sheltering itfrom the noise of the street is the master suite. Themain suite area is in the rear and has coffered ceil-ings. Through the master bath with a single sink anda tub is an elongated walk-in closet.
Adjacent to the master suite and just offthe kitchen is the utility room. A door in the hallshuts the room off from the rest of the home, where-as a door to the garage makes easy access for unload-ing groceries and packages.

Call us at 1-800-562-1151 or visit us on line at www.ldiplans.com fordetails. A $25 study plan is also available consistingof: an artist rendering, elevations, floor plans, andcross section.

RHAPSODY (338-050)Comfort with elegance; spaciousness with
many extra features describes the ranch style of theRhapsody (338-050). The exterior is brick with a largewrap-around-covered porch. Creative natural light isprovided by skylights and light tubes. Disguising thegarage is a brick planter under a row of large windows.There are two doors off the entry porch. One goes to thegarage with a large shop and a separate storage area. Theother opens into a vaulted family room with many win-dows. An entertainment center livens up the familyroom, while on the opposite side, a fireplace graces thedining area. Large overhead fans provide air circulationwhile complimenting the scale of the room.
The kitchen/nook area is very accessible witha nook that opens to the covered deck. There is an islandcooktop with a raised eating bar and a large walk-inpantry for extra food storage is on the adjacent corner. Apocket door opens into the hall. A raised dishwasher hasbeen added for ease of loading. Convenient to the entryis the office/library, lined with shelves and a large cornercomputer desk. French doors provide a grandioseentrance. Adjacent to the office is a half bath with theutility area around the corner.
Two bedrooms located in the rear of thehome have large walk-in closets and personal linen clos-ets. The larger of the two could be a guest room, with aprivate covered deck through sliding doors. Both bed-rooms share a tub/shower combination with private half
bath. On the opposite side of the home is the unique
master suite and a sunroom or living room adjacent. Themaster suite opens onto the covered porch area separate-ly through a door on the side and French doors in the rear.Numerous windows and skylights give the room extrasunlight. Adding to the uniqueness of the master suite, anoversized walk-in closet with a second water heater. Thebath has dual sinks, an oversized tub, shower, and a pock-et door entrance to the sunroom/living room.
A vaulted formal living room would be won-derful with four skylights and a half moon window over-head to brighten the area and provide extra light.However, equally ideal would be to install a spa and usethis room as a sunroom. The room is shut off from thehome with the elegance of the French doors.

GREENRIDGE 3 (407-13)Looking for a triplex to fit into a resi-
dential area? The Greenridge 3 (407-13) is ideal as it hasa special elegance that belies the fact of this plan being amulti-dwelling. Each unit has its own garage and privatepatio areas. The exterior has a blend of brick, dryvit, andwood siding that gives the triplex its own individual style.
Unit one has 928 square feet. Walking down thecovered porch past the one car garage, the entry opensinto the vaulted living and dining rooms. Adjacent to thedining room is a walk through utility room with a pocketdoor and a regular door into the garage.
The kitchen has a built-in dishwasher and a dou-ble sink with the water heater in the hallway. Beyond thecloset is the main bathroom. Two bedrooms are in the rearwith the master bedroom having a full walk-in closet andprivate bath. The second bedroom is next to the mainbathroom.
The uniqueness of this triplex is that all three ofthe units are laid out differently. The middle unitís entryopens facing the utility room with a hallway leading tothe balance of the unit. The utility room contains thewater heater and washer/dryer.
The kitchen, next to the utility, faces the hallway.There is an eating bar on the dining room side. The vault-ed living and dining area have a high, open look.
Opposite the living room are two bedrooms witha shared bathroom with a tub. The wall closets and large
windows on each end provide useful amenities to eachbedroom. This unit is the smallest of three units at 896square feet.
The third unit is the largest unit in this triplex with994 square feet of living space and the larger garage area.Layout on this unit is wider than either of the other two.The entry opens into the vaulted living room with twolarge windows.

RHAPSODY (338-050)Comfort with elegance; spaciousness with
many extra features describes the ranch style of theRhapsody (338-050). The exterior is brick with a largewrap-around-covered porch. Creative natural light isprovided by skylights and light tubes. Disguising thegarage is a brick planter under a row of large windows.There are two doors off the entry porch. One goes to thegarage with a large shop and a separate storage area. Theother opens into a vaulted family room with many win-dows. An entertainment center livens up the familyroom, while on the opposite side, a fireplace graces thedining area. Large overhead fans provide air circulationwhile complimenting the scale of the room.
The kitchen/nook area is very accessible witha nook that opens to the covered deck. There is an islandcooktop with a raised eating bar and a large walk-inpantry for extra food storage is on the adjacent corner. Apocket door opens into the hall. A raised dishwasher hasbeen added for ease of loading. Convenient to the entryis the office/library, lined with shelves and a large cornercomputer desk. French doors provide a grandioseentrance. Adjacent to the office is a half bath with theutility area around the corner.
Two bedrooms located in the rear of thehome have large walk-in closets and personal linen clos-ets. The larger of the two could be a guest room, with aprivate covered deck through sliding doors. Both bed-rooms share a tub/shower combination with private half
bath. On the opposite side of the home is the unique
master suite and a sunroom or living room adjacent. Themaster suite opens onto the covered porch area separate-ly through a door on the side and French doors in the rear.Numerous windows and skylights give the room extrasunlight. Adding to the uniqueness of the master suite, anoversized walk-in closet with a second water heater. Thebath has dual sinks, an oversized tub, shower, and a pock-et door entrance to the sunroom/living room.
A vaulted formal living room would be won-derful with four skylights and a half moon window over-head to brighten the area and provide extra light.However, equally ideal would be to install a spa and usethis room as a sunroom. The room is shut off from thehome with the elegance of the French doors.

The great room has a large fire-place on the rear wall with a window on each side,overlooking the backyard. Sliding glass doors on theleft side opening onto a covered porch in the rear.
A large dining area and the kitchen com-plete the large great room. The kitchen is in the rightfront corner. There is an ìLî shaped counter with apantry on the end along with an island containingdual sinks and an eating bar. It is open and facing themain great room. Stairs to an optional basement areacross from the kitchen. The basement if finishedcould have 1,333 square feet of usable space.
The bedrooms are on each side of thehome. On the left are two bedrooms with a full bathbetween. Bedroom 2 has a wall closet and two win-dows that bathe the room in natural light. Bedroom 3
has a corner walk-in closet and large windows over-looking the front yard. The full bath has a tub, singlesink, and a linen closet.
Behind the two-car garage, sheltering itfrom the noise of the street is the master suite. Themain suite area is in the rear and has coffered ceil-ings. Through the master bath with a single sink anda tub is an elongated walk-in closet.
Adjacent to the master suite and just offthe kitchen is the utility room. A door in the hallshuts the room off from the rest of the home, where-as a door to the garage makes easy access for unload-ing groceries and packages.

RICHLAND (D6787)The Richland (D6787) is a versatile home
in that it is narrow so it will fit those odd shaped lots;it is an excellent size to be either a first time home-ownerís dream or the home for the empty nester. Ithas good eye appeal from the street with its cleanlines, large windows, and a two-car garage that is setback and does not protrude too far beyond the rest ofthe home.
Crossing the covered porch, the entry tothe Richland is a small alcove with a coat closet onthe left. Straight forward is the great room and to theleft are bedrooms. The great room has a large fire-place on the rear wall with a window on each side,overlooking the backyard. Sliding glass doors on theleft side opening onto a covered porch in the rear.
A large dining area and the kitchen com-plete the large great room. The kitchen is in the rightfront corner. There is an ìLî shaped counter with apantry on the end along with an island containingdual sinks and an eating bar. It is open and facing themain great room. Stairs to an optional basement areacross from the kitchen. The basement if finishedcould have 1,333 square feet of usable space.
The bedrooms are on each side of thehome. On the left are two bedrooms with a full bathbetween. Bedroom 2 has a wall closet and two win-dows that bathe the room in natural light. Bedroom 3
has a corner walk-in closet and large windows over-looking the front yard. The full bath has a tub, singlesink, and a linen closet.
Behind the two-car garage, sheltering itfrom the noise of the street is the master suite. Themain suite area is in the rear and has coffered ceil-ings. Through the master bath with a single sink anda tub is an elongated walk-in closet.
Adjacent to the master suite and just offthe kitchen is the utility room. A door in the hallshuts the room off from the rest of the home, where-as a door to the garage makes easy access for unload-ing groceries and packages.

RHAPSODY (338-050)Comfort with elegance; spaciousness with
many extra features describes the ranch style of theRhapsody (338-050). The exterior is brick with a largewrap-around-covered porch. Creative natural light isprovided by skylights and light tubes. Disguising thegarage is a brick planter under a row of large windows.There are two doors off the entry porch. One goes to thegarage with a large shop and a separate storage area. Theother opens into a vaulted family room with many win-dows. An entertainment center livens up the familyroom, while on the opposite side, a fireplace graces thedining area. Large overhead fans provide air circulationwhile complimenting the scale of the room.
The kitchen/nook area is very accessible witha nook that opens to the covered deck. There is an islandcooktop with a raised eating bar and a large walk-inpantry for extra food storage is on the adjacent corner. Apocket door opens into the hall. A raised dishwasher hasbeen added for ease of loading. Convenient to the entryis the office/library, lined with shelves and a large cornercomputer desk. French doors provide a grandioseentrance. Adjacent to the office is a half bath with theutility area around the corner.
Two bedrooms located in the rear of thehome have large walk-in closets and personal linen clos-ets. The larger of the two could be a guest room, with aprivate covered deck through sliding doors. Both bed-rooms share a tub/shower combination with private half
bath. On the opposite side of the home is the unique
master suite and a sunroom or living room adjacent. Themaster suite opens onto the covered porch area separate-ly through a door on the side and French doors in the rear.Numerous windows and skylights give the room extrasunlight. Adding to the uniqueness of the master suite, anoversized walk-in closet with a second water heater. Thebath has dual sinks, an oversized tub, shower, and a pock-et door entrance to the sunroom/living room.
A vaulted formal living room would be won-derful with four skylights and a half moon window over-head to brighten the area and provide extra light.However, equally ideal would be to install a spa and usethis room as a sunroom. The room is shut off from thehome with the elegance of the French doors.

RHAPSODY (338-050)Comfort with elegance; spaciousness with
many extra features describes the ranch style of theRhapsody (338-050). The exterior is brick with a largewrap-around-covered porch. Creative natural light isprovided by skylights and light tubes. Disguising thegarage is a brick planter under a row of large windows.There are two doors off the entry porch. One goes to thegarage with a large shop and a separate storage area. Theother opens into a vaulted family room with many win-dows. An entertainment center livens up the familyroom, while on the opposite side, a fireplace graces thedining area. Large overhead fans provide air circulationwhile complimenting the scale of the room.
The kitchen/nook area is very accessible witha nook that opens to the covered deck. There is an islandcooktop with a raised eating bar and a large walk-inpantry for extra food storage is on the adjacent corner. Apocket door opens into the hall. A raised dishwasher hasbeen added for ease of loading. Convenient to the entryis the office/library, lined with shelves and a large cornercomputer desk. French doors provide a grandioseentrance. Adjacent to the office is a half bath with theutility area around the corner.
Two bedrooms located in the rear of thehome have large walk-in closets and personal linen clos-ets. The larger of the two could be a guest room, with aprivate covered deck through sliding doors. Both bed-rooms share a tub/shower combination with private half
bath. On the opposite side of the home is the unique
master suite and a sunroom or living room adjacent. Themaster suite opens onto the covered porch area separate-ly through a door on the side and French doors in the rear.Numerous windows and skylights give the room extrasunlight. Adding to the uniqueness of the master suite, anoversized walk-in closet with a second water heater. Thebath has dual sinks, an oversized tub, shower, and a pock-et door entrance to the sunroom/living room.
A vaulted formal living room would be won-derful with four skylights and a half moon window over-head to brighten the area and provide extra light.However, equally ideal would be to install a spa and usethis room as a sunroom. The room is shut off from thehome with the elegance of the French doors.

RICHLAND (D6787)The Richland (D6787) is a versatile home
in that it is narrow so it will fit those odd shaped lots;it is an excellent size to be either a first time home-ownerís dream or the home for the empty nester. Ithas good eye appeal from the street with its cleanlines, large windows, and a two-car garage that is setback and does not protrude too far beyond the rest ofthe home.
Crossing the covered porch, the entry tothe Richland is a small alcove with a coat closet onthe left. Straight forward is the great room and to theleft are bedrooms. The great room has a large fire-place on the rear wall with a window on each side,overlooking the backyard. Sliding glass doors on theleft side opening onto a covered porch in the rear.
A large dining area and the kitchen com-plete the large great room. The kitchen is in the rightfront corner. There is an ìLî shaped counter with apantry on the end along with an island containingdual sinks and an eating bar. It is open and facing themain great room. Stairs to an optional basement areacross from the kitchen. The basement if finishedcould have 1,333 square feet of usable space.
The bedrooms are on each side of thehome. On the left are two bedrooms with a full bathbetween. Bedroom 2 has a wall closet and two win-dows that bathe the room in natural light. Bedroom 3
has a corner walk-in closet and large windows over-looking the front yard. The full bath has a tub, singlesink, and a linen closet.
Behind the two-car garage, sheltering itfrom the noise of the street is the master suite. Themain suite area is in the rear and has coffered ceil-ings. Through the master bath with a single sink anda tub is an elongated walk-in closet.
Adjacent to the master suite and just offthe kitchen is the utility room. A door in the hallshuts the room off from the rest of the home, where-as a door to the garage makes easy access for unload-ing groceries and packages.
