Backyard oasis
Alexander home offers family-friendly luxury
With four bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, formal and casual living spaces, a study, a loft-area den, a screened porch and more, this gorgeous home is surrounded by 4.05 acres. The property also features a guest/pool house, an inground saltwater swimming pool, a basketball court and play equipment.
Hand-scraped wood floors begin in the foyer and continue into the study, living and dining rooms, and master bedrooms, and extensive trimwork can be found throughout the home. Just off the foyer, the study is fitted with custom built-ins. The two-story living room is anchored by a site-built fireplace, which is finished with a painted mantelpiece and flanked by built-in bookcases. A rock fireplace can be found in the hearth room, which is linked to the kitchen by an arched doorway, and a third fireplace warms the screened porch.
The spacious kitchen has a tile floor and is fitted with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, an island/breakfast bar, a built-in desk, granite counters, a double oven, a smooth-surface electric cooktop, a refrigerator, a separate ice maker, a twodrawer dishwasher and more. The breakfast area opens to the screened porch.
The master bedroom is positioned on the main level and has a wall of windows overlooking the backyard. The tiled bath offers his-and-hers vanities, a private water closet, an air-jet tub, a separate shower and a walk-in closet with built-in bureaus. Upstairs are three carpeted bedrooms; each has walk-in closet and a private bath with a single-sink vanity and a tub/shower combination. One bedroom also has a built-in bed set into a deep niche.
The pool house, which could also be used as a guest house, offers a full kitchen, a large living space and a bathroom.
Other amenities of the home include a laundry/mud room, a powder room, a security system, a three-car side-entry garage and more.
