This spacious home has an excellent floor plan, organized to give your family year round living pleasure. The front door opens on a mid-level foyer which contains two coat closets and a decorative planter. A graceful railing on the foyer side of the living room helps to create an interesting balcony effect. The living room and the dining room combine to make an impressive and secluded area for formal entertaining; large windows at each end give it a light and airy feeling plus a choice of two pleasant views. The kitchen has been placed in the center, which makes it easier for a busy homemaker to supervise household activities. Equally important is the fact that this kitchen has a perfect arrangement of appliances, cupboards and counters and a large and sunny corner for informal meals. The kitchen door opens on a large dining balcony, ideal for warm weather meals and as a safe play area for younger children.

Bedroom 1 has cross-ventilation, a luxurious walk-in closet and a private bath complete with enclosed shower and vanity sink. Bedroom 2 also has cross-ventilation and a double closet which makes it nice for two children to share. Bedroom 3, with its built-in desk space, is just right for a student. Note that the family bath, conveniently located, has a twin vanity sink, particularly useful in a large family. The lower level is not a catch-all basement but rather a well-organized area that will accommodate many activities. There is a spacious recreation room with two big closets, sliding glass doors that open to the rear and a fireplace, if you like. There is a step saving laundry with adjacent lavatory and there is a big room for general storage. In addition, you can have a sewing room and a den or fourth bedroom. The two car garage has extra storage space, a furnace room in the rear and an inside door. Wood shakes with brick highlights are used for the exterior and the covered portico is as practical as it is eye-catching.
