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 an elevated setting overlooking 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 with standing seam copper roofing next to the dedicated parking area in front of the home’s garage. A centrally-located foyer with a deep coat closet features views of the stair and adjacent rooms setting the tone of the welcoming, polished style of the home. The foyer connects to the living room, dining room, kitchen, living room, and upper level of the home.

The large, front-to-back living room of the home flows easily from the foyer and is distinguished by its large windows with transom window accents on three sides accented by the striking backdrop of a deep, west-facing deck running along the length of the room. The focal point of the room depends upon how the room is furnished. At one end, a gas fireplace with marble surround and wooden mantel flanked by large windows and topped with a large mirror defines a cozy sitting area and additional source of light in the room. At the opposite area of the room is a space serving as a transition to the kitchen suitable for use as a secondary sitting area, an informal office, or as it is currently used, a haven for houseplants. The home’s oversized wooden deck has room for multiple sitting/dining/lounging areas, a grill, and plants. It is partially-covered, providing an area with protection from the elements and broadening the opportunities for enjoyment of this exceptional outdoor living space.

The kitchen is as generously-proportioned and welcoming as the other first floor rooms. The eat-in area of the kitchen is configured to accommodate a large table that can be extended within the kitchen space for large gatherings. This space features wiring for a chandelier or pendant light and is flooded by light from a run of oversized windows with transom accents overlooking the community’s well-conceived, established landscaping. From the eat-in area is independent access to the first floor deck through a French door with transom window accent. Extra-high cherrywood cabinetry topped by granite countertops and matching overhead cabinetry provides plentiful storage and workspace areas on the perimeter of the kitchen and are accented by an undermount double sink with brushed nickel finish faucet. The large center island has a breakfast bar and cabinetry and counters matching the perimeter finishes extending the useful workspace of the kitchen. Appliances include an GE Profile side-by-side refrigerator with cherrywood-panelled doors matching the cabinetry and water/ice dispenser, 5- burner Thermador gas stainless steel cooktop, GE profile microwave oven, GE double wall oven, and KitchenAid dishwasher. From the kitchen, a hallway leads to pantry closets with floor-to-ceiling cherrywood cabinetry matching the kitchen cabinets, a coat closet, the garage, and a large powder room, underscoring the utility of this well-conceived floor plan as this transitional hallway makes it easy to bring groceries, pets, et cetera, into the home from the garage.

A room originally intended as a formal dining room (and currently used as a den) flows easily from the kitchen through a large doorway. This room is large enough to accommodate a dining table as well as additional furniture. It has a deep bay of oversized windows with transom detail at the opposite end from the kitchen which overlook the front of the home. This room connects to the foyer, completing a loop of flow for guests while entertaining or for family in day-to-day living.
