As you approach the home, you will see the lush yard and landscaping, surrounded by a rock retaining wall. This will be easy to maintain with the in-ground sprinkler system already in place. Beautiful shade trees are around the property, and also cover the guest parking area in front of the home.

Entry to the home reveals lots of natural light provided by arched transom glass above the front door, and the double French doors flanked by equally large windows across the room. The entire home features beautiful decorative lighting and plantation shutters on the windows that allow you to let as much sunlight in as you like, but also allow privacy and an added level of energy efficiency. A gas log fireplace, topped with an arched inset above it for a framed mirror or art, provides an interesting focal point. But this is not the only one. Notice the luxuriously rich, dark wood floors. Theres also an office/study just off the entrance with double doors and transom above that are set at an angle facing the living room. Their leaded glass patterns reflect light into the living room and catch your attention. Peer into the study and you will notice more shuttered windows with transom glass above.

Across the front entry from the study, tall arched cased openings invite you into the formal dining room. At the end of the room is a bay window effect with three angled, shuttered windows and exposed transom windows above each. This bay window effect is repeated in the breakfast area off the kitchen. But here in the formal dining room, there is a 3rd transom above the center window/transom that makes this area even more striking. The builder provided plenty of room for a large dining table and chairs, a china cabinet & hutch, and a serving table / cart.

The tiled kitchen has a double-door walk in pantry, plenty of storage in the crisp white cabinetry and a center island with its own separate sink. A few of the cabinets have glass panels to show off your beautiful table wear. And there is a built-in desk with drawers beneath built-in shelves and mail slots. You will enjoy the double wall ovens beside and microwave above the black smooth cook surface. Theres also an oven warmer drawer and a built-in drink refrigerator so large family gatherings will be a breeze. Dont forget to check out the double-door walk-in pantry!

A full laundry room comes with cabinets (upper and lower) and counters for folding or sorting. In keeping with the amenities throughout the home, the laundry room even has a sink for spot cleaning, dog washing, or whatever! And you dont have to feel isolated while youre there, open the shutters on yet another window and enjoy the great outdoors.

The master suite offers another bay window nook for a great sitting area. Double doors lead to the expansive master bath, his & hers walk-in closets, a garden tub encircled by more shuttered windows, and a glassed walk-in shower beside the tub. The double vanity is in a semi-circle with a make-up area in the middle, and topped with three large panels of mirror,which are framed with beveled mirror trim. Lots of mirrors, lighting, and shutters that can bring innatural light equate to easy make-up and hairstyling in this wonderful bathroom. And with so much room, no one has to rush. Once youre ready, check yourself in the angled 3-panel full-length mirrors on the way out to find you look MAAAHVELOUS, DARLING!

With all these features, one might feel the property was built by, and exclusively for, a woman. Not true! Theres a metal workshop with an overhead door and a steel entry door for the man of the house to enjoy his projects, store tractors, 4-wheelers, or whatever. The shop has built in cabinets and counter space on the left wall, and fluorescent light fixtures above. And of course, theres still 60 acres of land to explore and enjoy.

Prefer to entertain? The entire family and your friends can step out to the back of the house to find a covered back-patio for get-togethers. Beyond the patio is an inviting heated, in-ground pool with spa, surrounded by some small river rock and shrub landscaping and lush grass. The yard and pool have an ornamental perimeter fence. A great place for great times together! Or do you prefer some adult quiet time together as a couple relaxing by the pool? Then go for it. . .there is a door that leads there directly from the master bedroom.

So, have we dispelled the myth that living in the country means losing all the amenities? If not:
