Bennington comfortable for family, guest

The contemporary-style Bennington is a spacious four-bedroom home. Families who like to entertain will appreciate having a number of gathering spaces, formal and informal, available for family and friends.

In the large family room, an entertainment center and a bank of shelved storage closets flank the fireplace. A wall of windows bathes the area in natural light. Standing at the kitchen sink, you can keep your eye on activities in the family room, nook, and covered patio, all at the same time.

In addition to generous cupboard and counter space, kitchen features include a built-in range and oven, central work island, and roomy walk-in pantry. Utilities and a powder room are close by, and the three-car garage is mere steps away.

Dramatic ceilings expand the sense of spaciousness in the foyer, dining room, living room and master suite. A lofty vaulted ceiling connects the foyer and living room, while a bridge at the second floor level provides separation. Elegant coffered ceilings overarch the dining room and master suite, both of which boast wide bay windows. In the living room, a wet bar hides behind cabinet doors.

Master suite amenities include a huge walk-in closet, and a luxurious bathroom with two basins, spa tub, separate shower and private toilet. Two more bathrooms serve the three upstairs bedrooms. Both have toilets that can be sectioned off for added privacy. Two of the bedrooms have walk-in closets, and the third has a vaulted ceiling.

The Bennington's bonus room could be furnished as a media room, recreation room or use for storage. With the addition of skylights, it could be adapted to many other uses.
