- By Lisa Zapalac HOMES CORRESPOND­ENT

A flexible floor plan, multiple entertaini­ng areas and abundant storage and custom built-ins abound in this new constructi­on by Rockwell Homes in West University Place.

Listing agent Joel Bickley of Sudhoff Companies says the home, with a traditiona­l brick exterior and sophistica­ted interior, is ready for move-in.

With more than 5,100 square feet, the two-story home offers well-appointed living areas.

Double glass doors open into the foyer featuring herringbon­e wood floors with an inlay border; and an open staircase with stained oak wood treads and a custom wrought-iron railing. Ideally located between the stairs and family room is a wet bar with a sink and wine chiller.

The formal living room has a tray ceiling and views of the front yard.

Just off the foyer is the large formal dining room with a wine grotto, a wall of windows and access to the butler’s pantry and kitchen.

Open to the family room and breakfast room, the kitchen includes a large central island with breakfast bar seating; quartz countertop­s and a matching backsplash; and a Thermador appliance package with a 48-inch gas range, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerat­or/freezer.

A cast-stone fireplace surrounded by built-in cabinets, and two sets of French doors that open onto the covered terrace and backyard highlight the large family room.

Located off the hallway between the dining room and kitchen is a study/ library with extensive built-ins that include a desk area, cabinets, shelves and storage.

The master suite, as well as three secondary bedrooms, the laundry room and game room are all on the second floor.

Designed for privacy, the master suite features an alcove entry with double doors; three large windows that overlook the backyard; and a luxury bath with a freestandi­ng soaking tub, a walk-in shower, a large waster closet, double vanities with extra storage space and built-in shelves. The master closet has plenty of hanging space, shelves and a door with a keyless-entry system that opens to an additional closet that could also be a “security” closet.

The huge game room is flanked by two of the home’s secondary bedrooms and features an area with built-in shelves and cabinets that are plumbed, enabling the future homeowner to add a sink and mini refrigerat­or. A half-bath is accessible from the game room.

Each of the home’s secondary bedrooms has a walk-in closet and ensuite bath.

The laundry room includes a window, sink, and built-in upper and lower cabinets.

The home also has a private staircase that leads to a huge 25-foot x 20-foot room over the garage that includes a full bath and closet.

This flexible space could be used as a fifth bedroom, guest suite, media room, quarters, au pair suite or gym.

Outside there is a covered patio that includes brick flooring, a wood plank ceiling, a fan and a summer kitchen; an outdoor shower; and a large backyard.

Additional highlights include hardwood floors throughout, a two-car garage with a motor court and storage space.

With five bedrooms, five full baths and three half-baths, this home at 2729 Wroxton Road is priced at $1,999,000. Further details
