From the contemporary charm of the front porch to the cozy comfort of the back porch, this house has an outstanding floor plan. The flagstoned front porch has a recessed entry that leads into a center hall where there is a handy coat closet. All three bedrooms, the family bath, a linen closet and a storage closet open off the gallery hall. Bedroom 3 has a large front window and a large closet, and bedroom 2 has two large windows and a large closet. There are also two big windows in the corner of the master bedroom, also a dressing room with built-in vanity and three sliding door closets and a private bath with enclosed shower. This private bath also includes a powder room with vanity sink and linen closet that opens on the family room, and so may be conveniently used by guests or family. The family bath has a full tub and a dual vanity sink which makes it doubly useful.
The large picture window which overlooks the front porch is in the living room; this room has been dropped one step below the level of the center hall and dining room and since it is in a secluded corner and easy to keep free of through traffic it can always be fresh and pretty when company comes. Decorative railings separate this room from the secluded dining room where large sliding glass doors offer a lovely view of the lawn terrace. The heart of the house, and probably the room which will see the most use, is the family room. It has a fireplace, a T.V. and Hi-Fi corner and stairs down to the basement. At the rear there are sliding glass doors which open on an enclosed porch. Another set of glass doors open on the lawn terrace from the kitchen, giving extra charm to a room that has been carefully planned for meal time convenience.
Other features include an attached two car garage with extra storage space, an outside entry to the full basement, laundry and lavatory facilities in the basement and room for a future playroom. All of this, plus an exterior that will be a standout in any neighborhood, adds up to a very handsome house, indeed.
