Builder’s choice

Stunning home offers elegance, comfort

A beautiful blend of luxury and energy efficiency, this builder’s personal home rests on a 0.36-acre lot in a gated area of Benton’s Hurricane Lake Estates. Inside are four bedrooms, each with a private bath, along with a spacious great room, a main-level media room, an upstairs bonus/game room and more.

The front door opens to a gracious foyer that has a wood barrel ceiling; the hand-scraped hardwood floor continues throughout the main level, except for the tiled areas. Open to the kitchen, breakfast area and formal dining room, the generously sized great room has a rustic wood-beamed ceiling and a wall of windows that overlook the patio. The sitting area centers around a woodburning stone fireplace that’s flanked by built-in bookcases. Barn doors slide aside to reveal the media room.

In the kitchen, amenities include custom cabinetry, an island/breakfast bar, marble counters and top-of-theline appliances — a double oven, a warming drawer, a gas cooktop, a microwave, a dishwasher and more. The walk-in pantry doubles as a safe room. The breakfast area has a farmhouse-style light fixture, and the formal dining room is lit by a chandelier.

The private master bedroom features a wood-beamed vaulted ceiling and a wall of windows. The luxurious bath has his-and-hers areas, a tile floor, a marble-topped double-sink vanity, a private water closet, a freestanding soaking tub, a walk-through shower and more. Two of the remaining three bedrooms have tray ceilings, and one bedroom has a private entrance.

A few of the home’s other amenities include a laundry room with a sink and built-ins, a security system, window treatments, a three-car side-entry garage, a screened patio, a sprinkler system and more.
