The Gala
Elevation R-1
Priced from $350,100* (Options additional).
The Gala’s “ranch plan layout” is unique among The Orchard’s floor plans. The plan is set within 1 ½-story architectural elevations that can be found in New Market’s Historic District. This unlikely joining of floor plan and elevations permits comfortable, free-flowing living on one level—ideal for any stage of life. At the same time the floor plan adapts to either two- bedrooms and a den, three bedrooms, or even four bedrooms if the second-floor attic storage space is finished as a bedroom.
Sight lines from the entry foyer rearward through a cathedral ceiling-sheltered
great room immediately suggest the home’s spaciousness. That sense of
spaciousness is further heightened by the open great room’s connection
to the kitchen and breakfast nook, with ample windows in all rooms adding
natural light and brightness. The actual space itself can be expanded
by enclosing the covered porch adjoining the breakfast nook and great
room to create a sunroom, additional finished space or screen porch.
The roomy first-floor master bedroom, with coffered ceiling, has up to
three walls for furnishings and up to five windows for cheering natural
light. The combination of these attributes with a spacious walk-in closet
and adjoining master bath, that features a walk-in shower with built-in
shower seat, provide the layout and appointments that address a great
variety of owner needs.
As with each Orchard model, the key characteristic of the Gala floor plan
is “flexibility”. The Gala’s master bath walk-in shower can be augmented
by a soaking tub and an additional half-bath can be provided if needed.
Similarly, if more storage space is required, the second-floor space can
be expanded or basement space can be added to the home. And, for households
focused around the kitchen, the combination of kitchen, breakfast nook
and covered porch results in a family-friendly country kitchen. These
few examples showcase the flexibility of the layout and design that makes
the Gala model a home for all of life’s seasons.
