Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/04/2004 (7818 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
ONE thing nice about plan APWB-153 is the ability to fit this country ranch design to any number of building lots. Even a walkout ranch is a possibility.
Contained in this elbowed, single floor is a wealth of plusses. A great room with a vaulted ceiling is the centrepiece. The nearby kitchen has a cooking island, and the dining room is unusually shaped.
The master suite is distanced from other bedrooms for privacy. Owners could step out to an optional screened porch. The two remaining bedrooms are clustered with the home office-library. If the building lot is sloped, stairs to the basement gain added prominence when flooded by light from windows in the walkout basement.

Designer comments: “The angled plan is designed to allow adaptation to sloped lots or orient toward a view. The focal point is the five-sided angled great room. The master suite has private access to an optional porch, and the use of volume ceilings is abundant throughout.” — Jerold Axelrod
