the Big Bend

A variation of an open-concept design still includes elements of understated elegance, like a formal dining space and a second floor hallway with an open railing above the great room. 

Just walking through the front door, the two story foyer makes an impressive statement. The high ceilings continue in the great room with its vaulted ceiling, and off the great room, an open kitchen and breakfast nook function well for informal entertaining, while a separate dining space is perfect for more formal occasions.
