All the extras
Newly built home is in private gated area
Hidden behind the gates of West Shores in Benton’s Hurricane Lake Estates, this newly built five-bedroom, home rests on a generous lot that borders a wooded greenspace. Extra landscaping adds natural appeal, and a covered patio overlooks the private backyard.
The home’s interior features a flexible, flowing floor plan that is ideal for either a growing family or for executive entertaining.
Metal scrollwork accents the arched front doors, which open to a chandelierfoyer with space for either a sitting/music area or an intimate formal dining setting. The hand-scraped plank hardwood floor continues into the great room, master bedroom and guest bedroom/office.
French doors lead from the foyer into the guest bedroom, which has a closet with custom shelving and would be perfect for use as a study. Just off the foyer, the tiled powder room has a granite-topped vanity.
A marble-trimmed gas-log fireplace, finished with a painted mantelpiece and overmantel, anchors the great room. A coffered ceiling adds rustic appeal. The space flows easily into the spacious, tiled breakfast area and kitchen.
In the kitchen, amenities include stained-wood and painted cabinetry, an island, granite counters, travertine backsplashes, a walk-in pantry and stainless-steel appliances — a convection oven, a microwave, a gas range and a dishwasher. The island is lit by empire pendants, while the breakfast area has a coordinating chandelier.
The main-level master bedroom is positioned apart from the others and has a double tray ceiling. The tiled bath offers a granite-topped divided double vanity, a dressing table, a jetted tub, a tile and glass shower and a private water closet, as well as his-and-hers walk-in closets and a dressing area with custom built-ins.
On the other side of the home are two more carpeted bedrooms, both with walk-in closets. One bedroom has private access to the tiled hall bath, which offers a granite-topped double vanity and a tub/shower combination.
Upstairs, the fifth bedroom is carpeted and has a walk-in closet and a tiled half bath with a granite-topped vanity. This space could easily be converted into a game or media room if additional living space is needed.
Other amenities of the home include a tiled laundry room with a sink and builtins, extra crown molding and trimwork, recessed and custom lighting, ceiling fans, a three-car garage and more.
