exterior elevations of our new house

here they are! 

the elevations of our new house! 

i am SO, so happy with the way the house will look...classic, clean and with just the right amount of detail. todd jenkins, of frank betz did a wonderful job, and we are THRILLED.

front elevation:

 left elevation:

 back elevation:

right elevation:

 roof plan:
we kept the roof lines very simple, to save money with the framing and roofing...as you can see from the roof sketch and the side elevations, what looks like a front "porch"is really just some pilasters ("half" columns applied to a wall) the setbacks were QUITE a challenge to work around....

i thought y'all would enjoy seeing the original elevation sketch that todd sent to us:



we liked it a lot, but wanted something a little bit "more nantuckety and less lodgey". that is exactly what we said to todd. when i opened the email that contained the new front elevation sketch, i was giddy!

we already have one change---we are going to eliminate the chimney stack. it will cost a fortune and my husband thought it would help prevent ice and snow damming---because we get a TON of snow up there.
what do you think??
do we have a winner?
