Unique Wall of Glass

FP_1024_1

The most unique feature of this Craftsman home is the wall of windows that provides a beautiful view of a sloped lot and access to the backyard a few steps down. Or continue down the stairs to reach the lower level, where you’ll find two of the home’s five bedrooms and a relaxed family room. Back upstairs, the open-plan design includes the spacious great room with a fireplace flanked by built-ins and the kitchen with a breakfast bar and adjacent dining area. A spacious walk-in closet, stepped ceiling, and dual sinks are highlights of the master suite. See more images, information, and the floor plan.

Sunshine in Every Room

We challenge you to find a room that isn’t filled with light in this fabulous home. Even the master suite’s walk-in closet features a window, to really let buyers see the contents of their wardrobe. A built-in banquette is perfect for bright breakfasts, right next to the kitchen’s island/snack table. The lower level displays walls of window in the rec room, as well as three bedrooms, two baths, and even a wet bar where guests can fix their own snacks. See more images, information, and the floor plan.

Designed for Splendid Views

Country-inspired, this home is the perfect fusion of rustic tradition and modern luxury, making relaxation easy. Buyers can take in the stunning vistas through floor-to-ceiling windows in the vaulted great room, curl up next to a roaring fire in the cozy hearth room, or relax with a good book in the quiet loft upstairs. A large bonus space over the garage offers room to expand. See more images, information, and the floor plan.

Striking Façade and Side Porch

At 1,504 square feet, this small yet open layout makes a smart starter home or empty nest. Unexpected amenities include the side screened porch, foyers that preserve privacy for the bedrooms, and a large walk-in closet in the master suite. Seating at the kitchen island is a modern touch. The façade delivers remarkable style, too, with a trio of gables and striking windows around the entry. See more images, information, and the floor plan.
