Heartington a harmonious blend of styles

     Sleek and gently curved, the arched opening in the Heartington's entry porch extends a stately yet unpretentious welcome. The porch’s lofty 12-foot ceiling serves as an enticing prelude to the expansive and naturally bright living spaces within.
     This is a contemporary ranch home with Craftsman details and a cottage arched opening. Craftsman details include an array of multipaned window uppers, and quadruple columns set on stone veneer bases.
     Inside the foyer, double doors on the left open into a den. This room is ideally located for use as a home office. If desired, a door could be installed for direct entry from the front porch. A wide opening on the foyer’s right feeds into an elongated octagonal tray-ceilinged dining room with a direct link to the kitchen.
     Straight ahead in the foyer, an arched opening leads into the bright and spacious family living area. The living room on the left is balanced by, and open to, the kitchen and nook on the right. This kitchen is easily large enough for a family of cooks to combine culinary efforts without bumping elbows. Counters wrap around three sides, and the central work island with a prep sink.
     On the right of the sunny nook is another arched opening. This one takes you past a linen closet and into the well-appointed owners’ suite. Its deluxe bathroom boasts a deep soaking tub, walk-in shower, double vanity, and totally private toilet. The walk-in closet is exceptionally deep.
     The other two bedrooms are well separated from the owners’ suite. They, along with a powder room and roomy two-section bathroom, fill the Heartington's left wing. A large utility room is just off the kitchen, and a deep skylit bonus room caps the three-car garage.
