Eagles Mere Bungalow
Eagles Mere,
Pennsylvania This is the design for a small vacation home nestled in the woods. The 1260 square foot structure has an open floor plan to accommodate social gatherings which have become a signature of the community. The front entry court and porch, the main room on the ground floor and the rear porch all flow together.

Set on a gentle slope the grade falls away to the rear of the home. The back porch is secluded and provides a perched view of nature beyond. The master bedroom nestled under the shed dormer sits above the porch and offers a similar sweeping view of the woods beyond. |

This view from the kitchenette centers on the living space around the fireplace and the 1-1/2 story chimney which rises up through the space filling the gable end above. Interior openings to the bedrooms above serve to connect the two floors. Shutters in the openings provide privacy when needed. |
