Country charm
Enjoy beautiful spaces for living, entertaining
By Linda Garner-Bunch Advertising Feature Writer
Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac in the Shady Grove subdivision near Ward, this updated home is perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home rests on a generous 2-acre lot. The privacy-fenced backyard oasis includes a sports swimming pool, a tiered deck and a hot tub.
Inside the front door, the two-story chandelier-lit foyer features a graceful curved staircase. A two-story vaulted ceiling soars above the carpeted living room, which is anchored by a site-built fireplace and receives natural light from a large arched window. French doors open to the deck and pool area.
In the wood-floored kitchen, amenities include floor-to-ceiling cabinetry with Lazy Susans, an island/breakfast bar, granite counters, tile backsplashes, a pantry, a refrigerator, a wine fridge, a double oven, a microwave, a smooth-surface electric cooktop and a dishwasher. The breakfast area also has a hardwood floor and is lit by a chandelier. Architectural columns set the formal dining space apart from the kitchen and living room, but the spaces offer the perfect flow for entertaining.
Positioned on the main level, the carpeted master bedroom has a separate sitting room with a double closet. The tiled bath offers his-and-hers vanities, a dressing table, a private water closet, a jetted tub, a separate shower and a walkin closet.
The tiled guest bath has a pedestal sink, shaded sconce lights, a walk-in shower and built-ins, as well as access to the pool area.
Upstairs are two carpeted bedrooms that have built-in bookshelves and large closets; one bedroom has private access to the tiled hall bath, which has a double-sink vanity and a tub/shower combination, as well as a convenient laundry chute.
The home’s upper level also features a large game/media room, positioned above the garage, that could be used as a fourth bedroom or guest quarters. This carpeted space, which opens to the hall bath, has a mini kitchen with a sink, a mini fridge and a microwave. For added flexibility, there is an exterior door and stairs leading to the backyard.
The large tiled laundry room has a utility sink, a folding counter, a toilet, shelving and a desk area with built-in cabinets. A few of the home’s other amenities include crown molding, a security system, a central vacuum, instant hot water, floored attic storage space, a three-car side-entry garage, a storm cellar, a shop and more.
