The great room includes a fireplace with an alcove for shelving storage for books, a media center and décor on one side, and stairs to the second floor on the other side. The furniture is tastefully composed of contemporary pieces arranged by designers looking to best utilize the floorplan to maximize the views of the fireplace and picture windows.
A 12’ 6” by 38’ rear patio is off the three-car garage and includes a farmhouse-style fireplace for those chilly evenings when entertaining.
There’s plenty of room to add an outdoor kitchen and dining set for barbecues and parties, and the entire patio can be enclosed for protection from weather and insects. The roof extends the entire length of the patio, making it easy to enjoy the outdoors even in bad weather. The master bedroom also has access to the patio giving the perfect indoor/outdoor living experience.
Cooking and Entertaining
Off the great room is a 15’8’ by 19’6’ cook’s delight kitchen, complete with a separate walk-through prep kitchen and a large 7’2” by 5’ island to accommodate visitors and conversation while preparing a meal.
The island is also perfect for an impromptu lunch or snack time for the kids. Its island is large enough and deep enough to fit a microwave drawer or oven and comes with a second sink and faucet for food prep and washing.
The kitchen prep area is separated by a floor-to-ceiling wall that houses the stove, vent, and shelving and includes a galley-style setup with a sink, cabinets and shelving, a dishwasher, and a wine cooler.
Behind the kitchen and prep area are an entry to the garage and a three-quarter bathroom. The kitchen opens to the 11’4” by 16’ formal dining room located on the front side of the home.
Off the kitchen is a side entrance with access to the garage and outside that’s large enough for a laundry room with storage cubbies and shelves for supplies. A sitting area makes a great place to fold laundry, and the area is brightly lit with several large windows and recessed lighting fixtures.
Between the kitchen and the side entry is a large walk-in pantry, and down from the side entrance is a 10’ by 10’ pocket office with built-in shelving and storage for a private work-at-home space. Right next to the pantry is the garage entry, conveniently placed for ease of unloading and storing groceries and also includes a door for access to the rear patio.
The Master Suite, a Home of Its Own
Masterfully designed by expert building designers, the first-floor master suite is almost a home on its own. Situated on the other side of the great room and second-floor stairs, the 15’4” by 16’2” bedroom has an entrance off the foyer and sits across from an additional 11.4” by 16’ lounge area.
This extra space could be another office or a sitting room and would make an excellent spot for a newborn’s room or toddler’s play area so mom or dad could keep an eye on them.
The master modern farmhouse bedroom opens to the patio with a large window on both sides and space for French or sliding patio doors allowing plenty of natural light during the day. The massive 9’ by 16’2” walk-in closet is lined with shelving, shoe racks, cabinetry, a middle island, and includes a full-length mirror for dressing.
The well-equipped, 10.8 by 16’8 bathroom is equally impressive. This luxury space features a shower, tub and glass divider, providing an opulent bathing experience. The entire area of the master suite is considerably large, comprising a total area of approximately 658 square feet.
