The living is easy here. Although the exterior is traditionally styled with a covered porch and mullioned windows with shutters, the interior is thoroughly modern. A wide-open family room, dining room, and kitchen foster a relaxed and cozy atmosphere. And yet, when the occasion calls for a bit more ceremony, there's a formal living room with front and side windows to bring in maximum daylight.
A wealth of practicality is designed into this home. In the U-shaped kitchen, the sink, range, and refrigerator are arranged in a triangle to create the most efficient work flow. A pantry with sliding doors supplements storage space. A built-in desk sits beside the pantry. Anchored by a square column, the sink peninsula is open to the dining room and includes a snack counter. The upper floor hosts the master suite, three additional bedrooms, and a bath. The laundry room also is up here, handy to the bedrooms and baths where most laundry is generated.
