The Bridgeport Plan- Traditional, Transitional by Living Concepts is a majestic work of architecture. There are three floors and a basement. A two-car garage is on the main level and to the right. A triangular bump-out on the left side of this garage is for storage. Another garage, single bay, is tucked behind the larger one. Inside, there are five full bathrooms and one powder room in 7017 square feet. Five bedroom suites are included- one on the first floor, three on the second floor and the master suite on the third floor. This house, however, is about so much more than just square footage.
There is stone and stucco on the exterior. And, you might think, well that doesn’t make it traditional. You would be right. There is an asymmetrical roofline. Long, rectangular shaped windows let in a maximum of light. Think traditional/transitional. Not quite traditional, but definitely intriguing, and perfect for a lakefront.

The Basement
First, walk from the terrace to the inside. On your right is the gathering room, spacious enough for you and probably 20 of your best friends. A fireplace anchors the far wall. Then, straight ahead from the terrace, you will find the stairs going up. Nearby is the bar, where you can get refills after playing (or thinking) hard. A place for the sink and under-the-counter fridge is here, too.
Next, on your left is the game room. Maybe board games intrigue you. If not, there is always table tennis or billiards. (Be sure that the table is centered accordingly, or those wall dings could look very geographical). Walk ahead even further and you will find a full bathroom with sink, toilet and a walk-in shower. The elevator is nearby, too.
The basement also has a media room (no windows- perfect!). Watch your favorite movies here or reruns of those oldies. Finally, there is storage by the elevator (keep your board games in here, maybe). On the other side of the basement, there is mechanical storage with a door that goes outside.

First Floor
First, step out of the elevator. A hard turn to the left and a few steps down will lead you to three doors. One is the entrance to the single bay garage. The other goes out to the right-side yard. The third one is to the entrance of the two-car garage. A countertop and a reach-in closet give you places to drop your keys, shoes or laptop bag.
Then, on your right, the kitchen opens up into the morning room. The kitchen island is an elongated hexagon. To its left, the pantry holds many of your kitchen staples. The peninsula holds the double sink and dishwasher. The morning room opens up to the covered veranda as well as to the majestic grand room on the left. A fireplace in the grand room will bring your guests inside as the weather cools. Both rooms have views that are expansive, as seen in the rear elevation below.

More of the First Floor
Walking towards the front of the home, there are two staircases to the left of the grand room. One leads downstairs to the basement. The other goes up to the second floor. Then, on your right from the foyer is the guest suite or study. It has a walk-in shower, a walk-in closet and a toilet. On the opposite side of this wall is the powder room. The foyer, of course, opens up to the loggia or front porch. The foyer also is open to the formal dining room, which is adjacent to the kitchen.

The Second Floor
First, upstairs on the second floor, the loft is on the left side. Nearby, a large area is open to below. Then, next to the loft is the laundry room. It just makes sense to have it on this floor. The laundry room even has a space for a utility sink. It opens up to a reading nook, so you can sit and read while your clothes are drying. Or solve that newest NY Times puzzle called Connections. A door in here gives you access to attic storage.
Next, all three bedroom suites on this floor have their own walk-in closet. Suite #2 is at the rear of the home. It has its own full bath-toilet, single sink and a walk-in shower. Suites #3 and #4 are at the front of the home. They share a bath that has two single sinks, a toilet and a shower/tub combination. The elevator is between suites #2 and #4, as well as the stairs going up to the third floor.

The Third- and Final- Floor
First, whether you use the elevator or the stairs, you enter into a multi-purpose area on the third floor. To the right is a countertop and sink. To your far left, there is a built-in desk. Straight ahead, there is more attic storage. Then, the sleeping area of the master suite has a lookout (open) over your backyard.
Next, the master bath is on the left. Inside, there are two walk-in closets on your far left. The two sinks, both with ample counter space, are separated by the door you just entered. A soaking tub is on the far right. Two toilets are included, both enclosed. Finally, a walk-around (open, no walls) shower offers you the space you desire while scrubbing away the day’s worries. And perhaps belting out your favorite songs. Your shower, your home!
