The walk-in closet in the master bedroom is substantial, not only accommodating two large wardrobes, but able to function as a dressing room, as well.

Positioned along the back end of the second level, the master reaches 13 feet 11 inches by 13 feet 11 inches and features an upscale ensuite.

The opposite end of the second level boasts a towering bonus room overlooking the front yard. Its angled ceiling and large window bring the space plenty of visual interest. Supporting its role as a place to unwind, the bonus room is shown with a walk-up bar and elongated fireplace with a TV mounted above it.

Across from the children’s bedrooms is a well-proportioned laundry room, creating a quick and easy path for carrying and putting away a clean load of laundry.

Another example of the home’s commitment to storage is in its cooking space. The kitchen has a substantial walk-in pantry and generous assortment of cabinets. As such, every kitchen gadget, pot, pan and jar of sauce can be found with ease.

The visual star of the kitchen is a well-proportioned island with a waterfall effect. It has a sink that faces the adjacent great room and eating bar that seats at least four people.

The aforementioned great room has another elongated fireplace and plenty of space to comfortably accommodate multiple pieces of furniture.

A perk for people who work from home is the flex room off the front foyer. The seven-foot by eight-foot space, staged with a desk and chair, has a slatted component to its walls. This characteristic is useful with the spread of natural light.
