A tree-lined road with Belgian block pavers welcomes visitors to the neighborhood. The home is located away from the entrance to the community, in a secluded setting overlooking natural, wooded views while the front of the house accented by thoughtfully-designed, established perennial landscaping with flowering plants and leaf color changes providing vibrant visual interest throughout the seasons.

Visitors are welcomed to the home by way of a covered porch not far from the dedicated parking area in front of the garage. A centrally-located foyer with a deep coat closet features picture-frame wainscoting and views of the stair and adjacent rooms set the tone of the welcoming, polished style of the home. A powder room can be accessed from the foyer and features white fixtures including a pedestal sink, ceramic tile floor, and plantation shutters over the window. The foyer connects to the dining room, living room, kitchen, living room, garage, and upper level of the home.

The living room flows from the foyer to the family room of the house. The focal point of the room depends upon the season or the time of day. During the day, a wall of oversized windows provides a striking backdrop to the sitting area. In the evening, the wall opposite the windows provides visual interest using the play of light in a different way: a centrally-located gas fireplace with white wooden mantel is topped with a large mirror flanked on both sides by translucent glass shelves subconsciously drawing the eye to understated details of this space.

Through the living room, a family room styled as a sunroom connects the living room with the kitchen and continues the use of light as a unifying element in the home. The windows of the family room have transom window accents and are on three sides of the room. Visible from both the living room and kitchen, they create an elongated sense of these adjacent spaces while the room provides a stopping point for day-to-day living or for guests when entertaining. The views from the family room are of woods which sometimes provide an opportunity to watch deer, birds and other visiting wildlife.

The kitchen is larger and even more striking than the other first floor rooms. The eat-in area is accented by a chandelier and has windows on two sides overlooking the wooded view with access through a nearby French door with transom window accent to a deck providing a location for a grill or chairs for enjoying the setting sun playing on the trees in the woods. The large center island has two glass pendant lamps, a stainless steel undermount double sink with stainless steel gooseneck faucet with detachable sprayer head stainless steel Bosch dishwasher, and under counter storage in wood cabinetry. The perimeter work areas match the central island with wood cabinetry and granite countertops and provide additional work spaces punctuated by the LG stainless steel refrigerator with French doors, lower freezer, and water dispenser, 5- burner Electrolux gas stainless steel cooktop, stainless steel KitchenAid microwave oven, and GE double wall oven. The kitchen is remarkably spacious with extra room for additional furniture. As with the living room, the focal point of the kitchen changes from day to night from the extraordinary views to a gas fireplace with white wood mantel well-located in the center of the wall dividing the kitchen from the living room (the fireplace is double-sided).

The kitchen leads to a transitional space with a small butler’s pantry area leading to the formal dining room. The butler’s pantry cabinetry and counters match those of the kitchen area but with glass-fronted over-counter cabinets making this area an ideal bar area when entertaining. The dining room is large enough to accommodate a large dining table as well as additional furniture. It has large windows at one end and connects back to the foyer, completing a loop of flow for guests while entertaining or for family in day-to-day living. The transition area between the kitchen and dining room also features a pantry closet, a coat closet, and access down a corridor to the garage, making it easy to bring groceries, et cetera, into the home from the garage.
