This attractive three-bedroom family residence, with its old-fashioned front porch, lofty entry and sunny dining room, will be ideal for a contemporary family looking for a home that is a cut above the ordinary. Entry is up two steps to a covered porch, always a bonus in inclement weather, and through an eye-catching front door surrounded by glass panes. Inside, the vaulted ceiling and high window in the foyer will create an air of light and spaciousness. Directly ahead, through an archway, is the open-plan great room complex, which includes a dining room in its own bayed-out niche, in addition to a well-planned kitchen. Vaulted ceilings will add a touch of drama. The great room boasts french doors that open on to a covered porch and a corner gas fireplace, making this space a pleasure come summer or winter. An L-shaped counter configuration in the kitchen, separated from the dining room by an angled work island, will save steps for the cook. The pantry will provide extra storage space. With a view of the back garden through windows on three sides, natural light will fill the dining room. The master suite, which also enjoys a vaulted ceiling, is set off from the rest of the home with both an archway and a door. The roomy ensuite includes a large corner shower stall as well as a soaker tub, set at an angle to save space. Double basins will ease the morning rush-hour. The walk-in closet, with its own window, should be capacious enough for even the most fashion-conscious couple’s clothing. The secondary bedrooms, on the opposite side of the house from the master suite, share a three-piece bath. One overlooks the back garden, while the other has a view to the side. With access to the double garage, the laundry room can double as a mud room. A coat closet is included, as well as a storage area and counter space. A stairway adjacent to the kitchen leads to the loft, which has a sloped ceiling and occupies space over the third bedroom. Where the loft is open to the floor below, there is a protective railing. On the exterior, double pilasters with cut-stone bases demarcate the front porch, and cut-stone accents flank the handsome garage doors. Other finishes include horizontal siding, mullioned windows and painted woodwork. This home measures 58 feet, two inches wide, and 61 feet deep, for a total of 2,041 square feet of living space, including the loft area.
