Home Rambling home on standard lot The :Majestic efficiently assembles the features of a rambling suburban home into the space of a standard city lot. A covered walkway, vaulted ceilings with high windows, and sliding glass doors give the house a feeling of sp8al and light. It's not illusion. The Majestic contains separate living, dining, and family rooms; a two . car garage; a large master bedroom with ldtached bathroom! spa and sun porch; and two smaller bedrooms with a second beth. The vaulted space in. cludes the family room and dining area, and can include the kitchen. Considerable attention has been paid to convenieDal features. The master suite contains a walk-in closet. Addi. tional closets are found in the hall, family room, and back bedrooms. Washer and dryer are tucked into a utility space accessible from both the front hall and garage. Home workshop owners can organize tools and supplies in a garage storage area, while cooks will appreciate the kitch. , en's large enclosed pantry. Locating the master suite and utility space so near the front entrance is unconven. tional, but allows all the adult . activity areas to be accessible from the long leg of an L- shaped hall.
