The Springwood’s open and relaxing ambience begins before you even step inside. For starters, the covered porch of this traditional ranch-style home measures in at a lofty 11 feet high.

Inside, the expansive vaulted entry is awash in natural light that filters in through sidelights, a transom and a window grid in the upper section of the door. And that’s just the beginning.

Vaulted ceilings are generously supplied throughout. Double doors on the left side of the entry, for example, open into a vaulted room that could be a study, home office or media room. And at the far end of the entry hall, you step into a spacious great room, which also is vaulted.

A gas fireplace nestles into one corner, near windows that fill more than half of the rear wall. One in a trio of tall framedglass panes opens out onto a partially covered patio, which could be screened.

The kitchen, with a 9-foot-high ceiling, is also a part of the great room. Standing at the sink or its long counter, you can keep a running tally of goingson in the great room, patio and beyond.

At the same time, you can chat with family or friends ranged along the lengthy eating and conversation bars. Appliances are built in, and a roomy walk-in pantry nestles into one corner.

An arched passageway leads into the left wing, which houses the deluxe owners’ suite plus a pass-through utility room that links with the Springwood’s three-car garage.

A coffered ceiling adds a touch of elegance to the owners’ suite, which has its own private access to the rear patio. Two more bedrooms and a bathroom fill a wing on the opposite side of the home.
