Colfax impressive in or out

A soaring brick arch, crisp gables and a wealth of windows combine in the Colfax to create an imposing front facade. The interior is equally impressive. This large traditional home boasts almost 3,000 square feet of living space, plus more than 400 in the bonus room.

Ceiling height in the wide, naturally illuminated foyer is a lofty 18 feet. A left-hand opening leads into the bayed dining room; another on the right accesses a window-bright vaulted living room. High display shelves line the foyer's right side.

Continuing forward, you step into a comfortably spacious, richly glassed, vaulted family room with a fireplace. Nook and kitchen are wholly open to the family room, the boundary marked only by a drop in ceiling height and another high display shelf.

Noteworthy kitchen features include: a corner sink with a garden window, a large work island with an eating bar rimming one side, built-in desk with overhead shelves, and, of course, a roomy walk-in pantry. Plenty of work space here for a team of chefs.

Utilities are nearby, in a passthrough room that connects the garage to the kitchen and dining room. This ample service area has roomy cabinets, a counter, deep sink, pull-down ironing board, and tall storage closet, and it doubles as a mud room.

The Colfax's master suite is a luxurious adult retreat, with sliding door patio access. It has a large, angled walk-in closet, plus a wide wall closet. Bathroom amenities include: dual vanity, enclosed toilet and shower, and a spa tub with glass block surround. The office/den can be reached from the bedroom or the foyer.

Upstairs, secondary bedrooms share a bathroom.
