Deveroux filled with light, lofty spaces

Clean, crisp lines draw eyes to the Deveroux, a bright airy home with more than 3,000 square feet of living space, plus a three-car garage. Most of the rooms on the ground floor have lofty 10-foot ceilings.

Walking through the entry hall toward the huge family room, one is struck by a feeling of regal openness. Three widely spaced 12-inch columns define the boundary between the hallway and a naturally bright living room/dining room. Windows fill most of the side wall, more windows flank the fireplace, and a built-in buffet nests in an alcove at the back.

A beautiful space, but family and friends will probably still want to spend most of their time relaxing in the comfortable family room/kitchen. The fireplace here is flanked by shelves, cupboards and windows, while a screened porch spans the room's rear.

This kitchen has two work islands. One is outfitted with a built-in cooktop while the other comes equipped with a vegetable sink. Three or more chefs could combine culinary efforts here without getting in each other's way. Other kitchen features include: an eating bar, built-in desk and appliances, walk-in pantry, and a sunny eating nook. Utilities and a bathroom are mere steps away.

Luxuries in the master suite include: an ample walk-in closet, oversized shower with glass block exterior wall, spa tub, dual vanity and private toilet. The adjacent room could serve as a nursery, den, library or home office. Roomy closets and display shelves line the passageway from the entry.

Two bedrooms and a bathroom are upstairs in the Deveroux. The rear bedroom is slightly larger and has a walk-in closet.
