Sometimes beauty and convenience blend to make a new home both practical and fun. Such is the case with Grant & Co.’s new FRANKLIN plan in Kensington. The FRANKLIN home plan has been so well received, in fact, that Grant chose this home as the model home for the company’s newest neighborhood, Kensington, in Arlington. Homey, yet modern, this plan features a space in the center of the home that encompasses the great room, kitchen and breakfast/dining room all into a large living area. The focal point in this space is the contemporary stainless steel trimmed gas fireplace flanked on both sides by niches for favorite decorative items and topped with a shelf for cable/VCR boxes. The mantle is crowned with a natural slate shelf. Your flat screen TV can be seen from any area of this space – the kitchen, breakfast bar, or the dining room. Right off the great room is a wonderful covered porch. The master bedroom suite is one the back of the home. An optional sitting area is available to make the room more spacious and the new King Spa Shower option creates a luxurious, stress-reducing master bathroom. There are two additional bedrooms on the opposite side of the home and a finished playroom and optional fourth bedroom upstairs. Also available in all the homes in Kensington is Grant & Co.’s new EnergySense* package which includes an American Tankless Water Heater, Low-E Windows, R38 Attic Insulation, Energy Efficient House Wrap, Amana’s Two Stage Gas Furnace and Spray Foam Wall Insulation. This package provides amazing energy efficiency for just pennies a day. Come see the new FRANKLIN plan and all the other new plans at Kensington in Arlington. Grant & Co.
