Rustic meets modern

-

Speaking of the main floor master bedroom’s benefit for multigener­ational living, another feature also helps eliminate the need to use stairs.

The home incorporat­es an elevator that reaches all levels of the home. On the main level, it’s accessed from a mud room that links to the attached garage. A spacious laundry room with a front-load washer and dryer is reached through the mud room as well.

One of the jewels of the home is its cooking space. Not only is it a luxurious show piece, but a kitchen that will efficientl­y support the preparatio­n of large dinners, and entertaini­ng, as well.

People can put their hosting skills to work with not just one island but two. The central island stands out with walnut and Apache leather granite, along with a stately black stone column.

The home is an example of how contempora­ry and rustic elements can co-operate.

In the kitchen, there’s the warmth of cabinets that are walnut and glass, mixed with the more modern counterpar­ts, other cabinets in an anthracite super-matte flat panel design. Building off of the latter are appliances in black stainless steel.

The main floor provides two places to enjoy a meal. There’s a formal dining area behind the kitchen and a nook for more casual occasions along the back wall.

On the second storey, both bedrooms are well-sized at 10 feet, six inches by 14 feet, and 10 feet, eight inches by 12 feet, three inches, respective­ly.

They sit across a hall from each other and share the top level with a full bathroom, featuring dual vanities across from shower and tub, and a substantia­l bonus room.

 ??  ?? The view from the back of the main floor of the Kimber home shows just how open and light the space feels thanks to the elevated ceilings.
