Homes of East Hill

Anita trans 2.gif (13183 bytes) Anita was designed as a luxury two-bedroom home to fit the needs of today's smaller family units.  The home has most of the activity rooms found in a small mansion, all efficiently arranged in a functional circulation pattern.  There is also a spacious porch off the family room to give an added dimension to the use of the rear yard.  Anita offers the opportunities of a cozy traditional home or it can be the shelter for a more contemporary style of life.   The simple dignified lines of both the front and rear elevations make Anita an architectural gem in its East Hill setting.

Approximately 2180 Sq. Ft.

Amelia trans 2.gif (12405 bytes) Amelia is the identical interior of its twin plan Anita other than very subtle ceiling and door changes.  Amelia's individuality is personified by exterior architecture which reflects an entirely different street side elevation.  Although both plans have those spacious rear porches, Amelia also has a large front enclosed entry court with access from both the dining room and the second bedroom.  This court with its protective screening walls and decorative wrought iron adds another dimension to the many family and social uses of this luxury home.

Benita has a strongly styled architectural character.  The high vaulted street side facade of geometrically sculptured stucco and carefully placed beam outlookers is meant to accentuate a dual gable roof.  A dramatic side entry is reached through an impressive colonnade that supports the exposed beams of a long covered porch.  Once inside, Benita is nearly the twin of the Barbara plan although the living room has a vaulted ceiling and is slightly different.  Though basically a four-bedroom two-bath home, Benita can satisfy a variety of living styles and family sizes.

Approximately 2250 Sq. Ft.

Barbara trans 2.gif (12525 bytes) Barbara could be classed as the quiet twin of the Benita plan because of its exterior architectural styling.  The basic simplicity of the hip roof design appears to make the beige clay tile roof flow gently around the building structure in a soft protective manner.  The entry porch is centered for a simple direct approach to the functional interior four-bedroom, two-bath living area.  Barbara has slightly more square footage than Benita and has in addition a spacious rear covered patio porch.  Barbara has that flexible floor plan characteristic that can mold itself to many different family personalities.

Approximately 2340 Sq. Ft.

Carlotta trans 2.gif (11746 bytes) Carlotta is a large home whose size is greatly enhanced by strong horizontal lines.  Three separate gable roofs offset in an impressive and pleasing way fit functionally over second floor bedrooms as well as over the one-story elements of the plan.  A large symmetrical entry with a coffer-type ceiling opens into a two-story stair hall to expose the vaulted living room ceiling and the beauty of the arches surrounding the formal dining room.  Carlotta is an architectural sculpture of form and shape as well as a home.

Approximately 2675 Sq. Ft.

Carmen trans 2.gif (13356 bytes) Carmen's interior is easily recognized as being the companion plan to Carlotta.  Its own distinct personality is developed with an entirely different hip roof styling.  The first floor hip roof wraps around the two-story bedroom structure to form a spacious covered porch which stretches across the width of the rear yard facing living and dining room areas.  The same roof system at the other end of the house passes beyond the garage to form shade and shelter outside the kitchen window.  The slightly larger size of the Carmen carries the same interior living charm as companion Carlotta.

Approximately 2700 Sq. Ft.

Dorina trans 2.gif (11158 bytes) Dorina and the companion Dolores plan are designed to make the most of outdoor living with their family activity areas and a downstairs bath made directly accessible to the rear yard. Dorina's exciting front porch and covered planter area lead to a raised entry hall which in turn opens onto a vaulted ceiling living room.  Also seen from the entry are the arched openings of the dining room and family room hall.  They are set either side of the exposed stairwell access to the second floor bedrooms.  This intriguing space shaped interior rivals the multi-gabled exterior architecture as to which most personifies Dorina's charm.

Approximately 2785 Sq. Ft.

Dolores trans 2.gif (12333 bytes) Dolores has an entirely different street side elevation as compared to the twin Dorina plan.  Its hip roof design and long open inviting front porch expresses a basic change of architectural character.  This style is carried into the entry with a division wall of turned posts and a differently shaped living room.  An initial impression does not reveal that Dolores is almost identical to the very livable Dorina plan.  The Dolores variation of style offers the creative homeowner still another way to decorate a very functional two-story home.

Approximately 2760 Sq. Ft.

Elena trans 2.gif (10264 bytes) Elena could be called the "House of Four Gables".  Its exterior design is an exciting repetition of roof structures offset in various planes and accented by geometric stucco walls and pilasters.  It exemplifies the East Hill architectural theme of form and shape.  The exterior expectation is fulfilled in a dramatically open interior where all activity areas, upstairs and down, flow visually from one to another in a never ending intrigue of continuity.  Elena is that unusual plan which fits the everyday needs of comfortable living, yet becomes the social envy of all those who entertain at home.

Approximately 2875 Sq. Ft.

Estela trans 2.gif (12603 bytes) Estela is the twin of the Elena plan in its basic arrangement of rooms.  Both plans are nearly identical with their luxuries such as the exotic bath in the downstairs master suite and the second floor balcony library.  Unlike the twin, Estela has a three-bedroom second floor plan, a differently positioned living room, and its open entry with a stair hall bridge takes on a character distinctly its own.  The use of interior space gives Estela a sense of grandeur and a feeling of size far in excess of its actual area.  The exterior architecture is personal to the plan and gives a custom look to its Mediterranean style.

Approximately 3100 Sq. Ft.

Francisca trans 2.gif (8986 bytes) Francisca's entry opens onto the splendor of gracious living.  The wide curved stairway flows smoothly up through the two-story entry hall to second floor bedrooms and activity area.  The stairway weaves together the many arches and curved walls inviting interest to other areas of the home.  The living room with its high vaulted ceiling and gable glass adjoins an arch-surrounded dining room.  Another arch leads to the study and guest powder room, yet another to the family room, kitchen and breakfast room.  This unique circulation pattern together with the many rooms of activities invites the opportunity to experience a dramatically different lifestyle.

Approximately 3115 Sq. Ft.

Felisa trans 2.gif (11632 bytes) Felisa is the graceful smaller twin of the Francisca plan.  Felisa has all the charm and luxury of Francisca and is only smaller in size by the omission of the second floor game room.  The house expresses its own personality with an entirely different exterior treatment.  The many gabled roofs which cover a variety of structural shapes  result in the smooth flowing composition of the East Hill architectural style.  Like Francisca, Felisa's offsetting front and rear house walls together with the porched side entry offer the opportunity for a creative display of landscaping and separated outdoor activity areas.
