Designed by Andrew Sheldon, locally renowned architect, this stunning mid-century modern/contemporary home emphasizes space and light, and truly brings the outdoors in. As you arrive at the home, ascend the exterior stairs to the upper level entry. The bright skylight traversing the staircase to the lower level brings lots of natural light into the space. The wall of built-in closets provides storage galore! The serene living room, with a gas fireplace, is a perfect spot to relax and unwind. Note the natural light that pours into the room via the skylights in the recesses on either side of the fireplace. The large picture window that overlooks the expansive balcony/deck adds to the abundant natural light. Opposite the fireplace is a built-in bookcase to hold family treasures. Open to the living room, the dining room also boasts large picture windows as well as access to the upper deck, which looks out over a creek to mature woods which cover half of the .64 acre property. The kitchen, which was recently renovated, with Kraftmaid cabinetry, granite counters and stainless steel Whirlpool appliances. The glass tile backsplash compliments the design choices perfectly. Note the filtered water faucet at the sink. The pendant lighting over the sink and prep area provides excellent task lighting. There is a greenhouse window that scales the full height of the house - a perfect spot for growing indoor herbs! The breakfast area has a slider to the back deck, making dining al fresco a breeze! The Primary bedroom Suite, with its own ensuite bath and entire wall of closets, is on the upper level opposite the living room. On the lower level, there is a large family room, which provides access to the rear covered porch/deck. A perfect spot to relax, read, or watch TV. There are three bedrooms on this level, all sharing a hall bath. Bedroom 2 shares the floor to ceiling greenhouse window with the kitchen above. It also has a private sitting area with its own slider to the lower deck. Laundry is on this level as well as more storage closets, and access to the crawl space. Above the two car garage, there is a large studio space - separate from the main house - which is accessed by the exterior stairs. This space has its own private full bath, closet, and storage - as well as its own private deck to enjoy on sunny days! What a bonus space! Great for an office, guests or even a boomerang child! There is even more storage space, and a work room, in the garage. Truly, a one of a kind home, located at the end of a quiet street on a cul-de-sac close to town. See it today
