Handsome Rosewood full of lofty spaces

Bold brick columns and sweeping roof lines give a noble look to the Rosewood. In fact, all of the exterior walls here are clad in brick veneer. Foliage and blooms flourish in a raised brick planter that wraps around the left front corner.

The interior is no less impressive with lofty, interesting ceilings throughout. The comfortably large family room, for instance, is vaulted, while the den, dining room, master suite and octagonal foyer, are trayed. No two ceilings are exactly alike.

A large kitchen, open to the family room, is at the heart. Sliders in the nook open onto a covered patio, and a pocket door leads to the dining room and sleeping areas. Storage and counter space are generous, augmented by a central work island with built-in cooktop. The unique see-through wine rack can be appreciated from either the kitchen or the foyer.

Windows on three sides of the spacious family room provide ample natural illumination on all but the darkest days. Sliding glass doors open onto a columned, partially covered side patio. French doors access the rear patio, and high windows flank the masonry fireplace. An entertainment center fits into the space below the windows on one side of the fireplace; storage or shelving fills the other.

Luxuries abound in the palatial master suite. The walk-in closet is huge, and bathroom amenities include: a sauna, twin lavs, walk-in shower, and private toilet. Tropical plants thrive in the soft light spilling in through opaque glass over a spa tub with shelves at both ends.

Utilities are equally convenient to the Rosewood's kitchen and bedrooms.
