The Elmont is a striking 2 story residence that blends the rugged warmth of the outdoors with refined interior comfort, making it a perfect fit for a view lot house design. This expansive home artfully showcases a balanced layout with strong Craftsman Plan roots and distinctive rustic style elements, offering both curb appeal and modern-day livability for families seeking space, function, and natural charm.

From the moment you approach the front elevation, the Elmont impresses with its soaring gables, natural timber trusses, and generous use of stone and wood textures that immediately convey a rustic style sensibility. The dramatic covered entry, supported by substantial wood columns, invites guests through a glass-paneled front door into a double-height foyer filled with natural light. Flanking the entry is a private office with large windows and a downstairs bedroom suite, ideal for multigenerational living or guests.

Inside, the heart of the home opens into an oversized great room with a 17’ x 25’ footprint and towering ceilings, making it ideal for entertaining or family gatherings. Massive windows at the rear capture sweeping views, fulfilling the home's design as a view lot house. A central kitchen with a large island, walk-in pantry, and adjacent butler's pantry connects to a spacious dining area, making daily life and entertaining equally effortless. French doors in the dining space lead to a covered rear porch that encourages indoor-outdoor flow.

This thoughtfully crafted Craftsman Plan includes five bedrooms spread across both levels. Two bedrooms on the main floor—each with adjacent bathrooms—offer convenience and privacy, while the upper level accommodates the remaining three. The master bedroom is a true retreat, measuring 19’ x 25’ and offering rear-facing windows that frame panoramic natural vistas. The attached master bath feels luxurious with dual vanities, separate closets, and a large soaking tub beneath wide windows. Just steps away, a well-positioned laundry room and a spacious loft provide additional everyday functionality.

Every detail of the Elmont reflects a commitment to form and function. The upper-level loft overlooks the great room below, fostering connectivity throughout the 2 story home. Bedrooms #2 and #3 upstairs share a full bath, perfect for children or visiting family, while generous closets and well-sized rooms ensure everyone enjoys their own space.

From the outside, the home’s multiple rooflines and shed-style dormers create a dynamic, visually appealing silhouette. Timber detailing in the gables and the optional use of natural or painted stone on the façade reinforce the rustic style elements and Craftsman Plan aesthetic. The covered patio and second-level deck are designed to capture the beauty of scenic surroundings, reinforcing the home’s purpose as a view lot house design.

On the practical side, a 2-car garage with an oversized 24’ x 35’ layout provides ample space for vehicles and storage, easily accessible via the mudroom that connects directly to the kitchen—an essential feature for busy families or those returning from outdoor adventures.

The Elmont’s masterful fusion of rustic style elements, generous proportions, and careful room placement makes it a timeless yet modern Craftsman Plan that thrives on connection to its setting. This 2 story, five bedroom home not only accommodates everyday needs but elevates them, making it an ideal choice for those seeking comfort, beauty, and a strong sense of place.
