Durham House — The handsome Durham House design features a soaring, arched entryway with floor-to-ceiling windows. The entry is flanked by a towering stone exterior chimney and columned side arcade. The stately impression of height and grandeur is accentuated by the enclosed, rooftop "widow's walk" and optional landmark tower at the front of the house plan. A welcoming open court and convenient three-car garage are also planned in the front of the home. The Durham House is an informal country house with a sweeping garage wing creating a place of arrival. Elsewhere, colonnaded wings meander into the gardens.
The Durham House design's T-shaped layout of common areas on the ground floor offers dramatic breadth and depth. The grand foyer and staircase are flanked by the living room and library, with kitchen, family, and dining rooms clustered beyond. On the second floor, four bedrooms are separately clustered with bathrooms, leading to the master suite in the back, as well as a spacious game room across the top of the garage. Third-floor, finished attic areas provide additional bedroom options. Standard features in the Durham House design include Christopher Peacock Kitchens, Waterworks fixtures, hardwood floors, wood-burning fireplace, sports-equipment room, authentic cedar roofs and Marvin windows, and acoustic insulation throughout the home.
