A slightly smaller, and simplified version of the very popular Maple Forest home designed by Michaela Mahady.A slightly smaller, and simplified version of the very popular Maple Forest home designed by Michaela Mahady. Like the original, it has steeply pitched roofs and large round porch. Its simpler roof design and more square foundation shape are intended to make it easy to build.

Arched ceiling soffits, exposed beams, natural woodwork, leaded glass, lots of natural light, and a finely crafted stone fireplace with ample hearth distinguishes this design as a gracious, welcoming family home. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a spacious couple's retreat gently nest under slanted roofs. In this version, a hallway upstairs over the mudroom, leads to a bonus play/storage area above the separated garage. (Note that the hallway and play area are not counted in the square footage totals.) The large lower level contains an extra bedroom and bath, as well as a media room, storage, etc. If desired, it can be finished off later as time allows.
