Exquisite appeal
Benton home rests on gorgeous 1.3-acre lot
Located in the Miller Cove neighborhood of Benton, this four-bedroom, fourbath home is built on a private 1.3-acre lot. Extensive landscaping, mature shade trees, a three-tier deck and a water feature create an oasislike setting for outdoor living and entertaining.
Double doors, capped by an eyebrow transom, open to the tiled foyer, which features a beautiful barrel-vaulted ceiling. Flanking the foyer are the formal dining room and the office, set apart by architectural columns. Both spaces have hardwood floors; the office also has a wall of glassfront cabinetry and could be used as a formal living area. Straight ahead, the sunken great room is anchored by a see-through fireplace, finished with a tile surround and a painted mantelpiece, that’s shared with the kitchen. A wall of windows provides natural light for the great room, and French doors open to the tiled sunroom.
The tiled kitchen is fitted with painted cabinetry — some with glass fronts — as well as a breakfast bar, an island, granite counters, tile backsplashes and a pantry. Quality stainless-steel appliances include a double oven, a microwave, a cooktop and a dishwasher. A tray ceiling encompasses both the workspace and breakfast area; the breakfast area is lit by a shaded pendant fixture.
Positioned apart from the other bedrooms, the carpeted master bedroom has a tray ceiling and features a fireplace and a sitting area. Illuminated by a chandelier, the tiled bath offers his-and-hers vanities, a dressing table, a jetted tub and a separate shower. The suite also includes two walkin closets. On the other side of the home are two carpeted bedrooms and two tiled baths.
Perfect for use as in-law or guest quarters, the home’s walk-out lower level includes a spacious living area with a fireplace and a wet bar/kitchenette, as well as a bedroom and a full bath.
A few of the home’s other amenities include a laundry room with built-ins, a security system, a central vacuum, plantation shutters, floored attic storage space, crown molding and extra trimwork, builtins, a three-car garage, a sprinkler system and much more.
