Ingraham charming outside, smart inside

Custom masonry, corner quoins and multiple gables give a classic look to the single-level Ingraham. Keystone arches frame the lofty, gabled entry porch plus two windows. Graceful half-rounds crown these windows and the door, which is flanked by sidelights as well.

Inside the naturally illuminated, high-ceilinged foyer, double doors offer entry to the right and left. On the right is a window-bright dining room with an open link to the kitchen. The doors on the left open into what could be a den, home office, third bedroom, or whatever suits.

Continuing straight ahead through the foyer, you step into a spacious great room awash in sunlight that's somewhat muted by a wide, covered porch. The rear wall, about eighty percent glass, is arranged in four sliding sections that offer patio access and air circulation. A fireplace and home entertainment center fill the left wall, while the room's right end flows into the kitchen and nook.

A raised eating bar next to the sink rims the peninsular counter, which also expands the available work surface. An atrium door in the bayed nook opens into a roomy screened porch. This kitchen also boasts two pantries, one of them a walk-in. Right past that door, a hallway leads to the garage, utility room, powder room and basement stairs.

The Ingraham's luxury master suite and a second bedroom are on the opposite side of the house, well away from the hustle and bustle of the kitchen and nook. Master suite amenities include a spa tub, two lavs, enclosed shower and toilet, plus a huge walk-in closet and built-in dresser. Sliders in the sleeping/sitting area provide direct patio access.
