Wide Central Hall Leads to Sitting Area

Scaled just right for luxury living, this 1 1/2-story shingle-style home has exterior details that delight

A main palette of cedar shingles on the facade is accented by stonework at the foundation line

A quaint turret on the right adds interest

The entry features four columns supporting a faux balcony and protecting the double French doors and transom

The main body of the plan is contained on the first level and revolves around a wide central hall that widens to become the great room

A dining room with decorative ceiling and a den with beam ceiling flank the hall

The great room is massive and appointed with a fireplace, built-ins and double doors to the rear porch

The kitchen is a gourmet's dream

It has a butler's pantry connecting to the formal dining room, a walk-in pantry and a vaulted nook overlooking the back porch

A short hall leads to Bedroom 3, with full bath, the laundry room and the three-car garage

At the opposite end of the home, the master suite sports royal details

A bow window and elegant ceiling grace the bedroom

The bath contains two walk-in closets, a tiled shower, a spa tub and French doors to the porch

An additional bedroom, with its own bath, sits just across the hall

The upper level holds a surprise: a vaulted media center off a sky lit hall at the top of the stairs
