Brighton 30-331
	Families that prefer the roominess of one large gathering space, rather than two or more smaller rooms, will appreciate the Brighton. In this informal, midsize, four-bedroom home, about two-thirds of the main floor is devoted to a sun-washed family living area that fits this description to a T.
	Entering, you walk across the covered porch into a two-story vaulted entry with a stairway wrapping up the left side and light washing in through three stair-step windows. A coat closet/storage space is tucked under the stairs where the entry segues into the family room.
	The window-bright family room, anchored by a fireplace, flows into a dining area that is open to the kitchen. A raised eating bar marks the boundary between these areas, as does a rectangular window bay that expands and illuminates the dining room. Centrally placed glass doors slide open to provide access to a large patio.
	Kitchen work space is in ample supply, with counters that wrap around three sides. Laundry appliances are easily accessible in a pass-through utility room that connects to the garage.
	Just inside the entry, double doors open into a room that could be used as a home office, guest room, shared family study, hobby room, or whatever suits. Another door, on the opposite wall, opens into small hallway right opposite a bathroom, and convenient to the family living area.
	In the Brighton, the master suite is on the upper level along with three more bedrooms and a shared bathroom. In addition to a vaulted ceiling, master suite amenities include a large walk-in closet and a private bathroom with dual vanity, spa tub, separately enclosed shower and toilet.
