Open floor plan & 5 foot wide hallways highlight the easy & natural flow in home that combines comfortable living w/a unique flair that easily accommodates large groups; in other words, this home is magnificent for entertaining, holiday parties and large family gatherings****This home is NOT for those seeking a colonial w/symmetrical lay-out. It IS perfect for those seeking excitement & flair within the confines of beautifully-planned, comfortable living**** The home has been freshly-painted to the highest professional standards, all the way up to the vaulted ceilings in many rooms. SUMMARY OF FLOOR PLAN & FLOW: No written description can possibly capture the magnificence of this home, but let's give it a shot: Entering the home from its attached garage, one is immediately greeted by a long, extraordinarily wide hallway (approx length 55 feet), which is more like a runway w/exquisite ceramic tile flooring, vaulted ceilings and an entry foyer highlighted by a huge picture window above the front door. French doors open the runway, dissecting the home in a brilliant & elegantly leading to the main living area. At point of entry, to your immediate left is a massive in-law suite, a full separate living area in & of itself, effectively tucked away from the architectural beauty of the main living area. With refrigerator, stove top, full bath & shower, this would also be an ideal guest quarters****As one walks down the elegant runway thru glass French Doors toward the main living area, the runway ends entering the main living area; to the left is the step-down LR/entertainment area. H/W floors grace the LR, which is also highlighted by a raised hearth FP built into a brick accent wall. This room has a warmth & relaxed intimacy one rarely finds in a main living area. The brick accent wall partially separates the LR from the kitchen & DR in a manner that allows for easy access& a free-flow among all areas. Turning right at the end of the runway, the spacious kitchen is highlighted by HW floors, vaulted ceilings, overabundance of cabinet & counter space, Jenn-Air 6 burner gas cooktop, ceramic tile backsplash, sub-zero refrigerator/freezer, Viking professional convection oven & Viking built-in microwave Miehle dishwasher, 3 skylights, AND breakfast bar built into the kitchen countertop adjacent to the DR**** Adjacent to the kitchen is a magnificent projection home theater, w/glass doors covered w/"black out" blinds. The projection screen covers an entire wall, strategically placed to allow for full view from the kitchen. There is so much more, so to be brief: MBR is highlighted by a custom bath that is beyond belief. Warning: allow for extra time to prepare leaving your home to fully experience the warm pleasure of this spacious & elegant shower area. Two main floor BR's share a full bath, and one is currently used as a fabulous office/studio. There is a magnificent 2nd level stand-alone guest suite/studio/office tucked away at the end of the hall, accessible via winding, spiral staircase****Be prepared to be "wowed".
