Nostalgic porch inviting to modern living

A generous wrap around porch greets visitors to the country style Columbia, a medium size home that features plenty of family living space, both formal and informal.

Owners of the home could confine their living to the ground floor, if they wish, since the master suite is on this level. This leaves the second floor for children, visiting grandchildren, or other guests.

A long custom shaped eating bar provides partial separation between the kitchen and the family room, otherwise the area is wide open. Vaulted to the second floor (as is the dining room), the family room, nook, and kitchen are bathed in natural light from a wealth of windows. The second floor landing forms a unique bridge that overlooks the family room, to the back, and the dining room and entry way to the front.

Holiday and formal gatherings can spread out in the spacious dining room and living room. The living room has a fireplace and is brightened by a wide bay window. Another fireplace warms the family room.

The Columbia's master suite features access to the deck, and has a private bathroom with a huge walk in closet, a raised spa, compartmentalized toilet and double basins. The upstairs bathroomshared by occupants of the two big bedrooms, also has two lavatories.

A utility room and powder room are equally convenient to the kitchen and the two car garage.
