Casual Living in Octagonal House

Surrounded on five sides by a wide wood deck, this light-filled octagon-shaped house, designed for energy efficiency, offers a comfortable, casual lifestyle. Vertical cedar siding, a shake roof and a chimney faced with stone make for a distinctive exterior. The covered front entry leads you into the entry hall, where a skylight brightens the vaulted ceiling. Open stairs to the daylight basement are replaced by a den if the house is built without the basement. In the great room, the massive fireplace hearth echoes the octagonal shape. Three skylights in the vaulted ceiling with exposed wood beams, as well as four sliding-glass doors, open this room to the outdoors. Just off the entry are the long kitchen, featuring a pantry and generous counter space, and a skylighted bath. The master suite includes its own bath and a walk-in closet. Foundation options: daylight basement or non-basement. Please specify when ordering.
