Freemont fit for family living

Arched multipaned windows add a graceful touch of elegance to the Freemont, a contemporary country style home designed with family living in mind. And once the kids leave home, the owners need rarely climb the stairs. Upstairs bedrooms can be kept ready for grandchildren and other visitors.

Stand in the vaulted entry and you are right in the center of the home. French doors on the left open into a vaulted living room brightened by a wide window bay. To the right, another set of French doors open into a vaulted dining room, with a smaller bay window and an arched window higher up.

Directly ahead, a polished wooden staircase curves up to a second floor bridge that overlooks both the entryway and the family room. This bridge offers a vantage point for observing the scenes below. If you're quiet, maybe nobody will notice you're there.

A powder room is conveniently close to the front door as well as to all the other rooms on the ground floor.

Two more bay windows brighten and expand the family room and eating nook. Both include French doors which open onto a huge deck. The family room also has a fireplace.

Large and luxurious, the master suite has a walk in closet, separately enclosed water closet and a raised, oversize spa tub. A window over the spa bathes the area in natural light.

Upstairs, the bedrooms share a two compartment bathroom with vanities in both sections. The front bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, a half-round window and larger closet.

A wide country style porch wraps around most of the Freemont's front facade.
