The one-story facade of this Old World story-and-a-half traditional home helps keep construction costs down. A charming touch is the two "suitor's benches" on the sheltered entry porch.
Inside, both the foyer and the great room rise two stories high, and three tall windows with transoms let lots of sunshine into the great room. Another special touch is the see-through fireplace, which can be enjoyed from both the great room and the combined kitchen and keeping room.
The keeping room juts out in a bay and opens to the backyard, while the kitchen features a snack bar-food preparation island and a built-in planning desk. Also notice the handy laundry room and the pantry closet in this area.
A short hall with a display niche leads to the master suite, where a tray ceiling outlines the bedroom. In the compartmented master bath, you find a walk-in closet, a garden tub set on the diagonal, a separate shower and twin sinks.
Upstairs, two bedrooms each have a separate sink area and direct access to the bathroom on this floor.
