"You can't help but feel good in here," Fredman says. Despite its proximity to other bedrooms (three are on the second floor), privacy is achieved in the master suite by simply closing a hallway door. Features include the following:

• The lift-equipped cabinet at the foot of the bed holds a flat-screen television--there when you want it, hidden when you don't so that you can enjoy viewing the fireplace on the opposite wall.
• A soft padded headboard reaches to the ceiling, underscoring the room's 10-foot height.
• A radiant heating system keeps floors
in the bathroom warm to the touch of bare feet.
• The laundry room is located on the same floor. The washer and dryer are near clothes and linens, which eliminates carrying heavy laundry baskets up and down the stairs.
• Kohler's dramatic infinite-edge tub is filled from a ceiling spout in the master bath.
