Floor Plans: Personal Outdoor Living Space As You Like It

   

Bennett Homes at Dahlia Park

Inside Bennett Homes at Dahlia Park, in Issaquah, Wash., the builder offers an array of features that give home owners the flexibility to meet the needs of the way they live today — and in the future.

There are master suites on the first floor, dual masters, hobby rooms where home owners can pursue their special interests, extensive built-in storage and more.

But it is outside in the garden room where personal living space is made truly personal. Bennett Homes offers a variety of garden room choices — each themed and including features for different outdoor lifestyles. The homes and their gardens will be on tour during the NAHB/BALA Design Institute for Builders from June 25 to 27 in Bellevue, Wash.

How Does Your Garden Room Grow?

 

 

The Entertainer

The Entertainer with its manicured lawn and ample room for patio furniture was designed for outdoor garden parties, dinners and soirees. The Retreat, on the other hand, with its lush plantings, flagstone surfaces and water feature sets the stage for relaxation.

The Outdoor Chef

Bennett Homes also offers The Outdoor Chef with a cozy fireplace, an outdoor cooking center with a sink and a massive gas barbecue, and The Gardener, which is accented with a trellised path of pavers leading to a spacious patio, a bird bath, potting table, raiser planter with a sea wall and more.

Nooks, Crannies and Grandma’s Attic

An example of Bennett Homes' attention to detail can be found in the many nooks and crannies dedicated to storage and other uses. Grandma’s Attic is attic space lit by a gable window and reminiscent of an old fashioned attic, but it’s not just for grandma. The space is ideal for a sewing room, home office, playroom, study, hideaway or for storing family treasures.
