The Hyacinth 3 is a spa-lover's dream, featuring a small, though by no means tiny, spa in the master suite, and a party-size spa in the sun room.

Stepping into the vaulted entryway, the glassed-in sun room immediately grabs the visitor's attention. No matter what the weather, this room will be bright and the huge spa at the room's center promises instant relaxation.Plants, as well as people, thrive in this rich natural light - a great place for a small jungle and a sure cure for the winter blahs. The half-bath is conveniently close to the front door and does double duty as a dressing room for guests who drop by to enjoy a soak in the hot bubbles. The sun room can be reached from almost anywhere, including the bathroom, the entryway, the nook or through the two sets of triple sliding glass doors onto the deck.

Serving yet another function, this room separates the luxurious master suite from the rest of the house. If desired, an additional door could provide direct access. The master suite has plenty of room for both a sleeping area and a sitting and/or exercise area. The unique cloverleaf spa is nestled in its own glass-block-lined corner nook. A huge walk-in closet provides ample space for a large wardrobe, and double vanities are in their own sky-lit dressing area.

A room that could serve as an office, den, hobby room, artist's studio or whatever, is conveniently close to both the master suite and the front entry.

Stretching the width of the rest of the home, the long hallway creates a feeling of endless space, provides a connecting link to all areas, and separates the more formal living and dining rooms from the less formal living environments. Another much shorter hallway leads to the garage. On one side, these hallways are rich in storage closets. Note in particular the walk-through linen closet. The smooth surfaces on the other side of the halls offer an excellent area for a gallery of photos or paintings.

A large country kitchen fills one corner of an even larger family room. Small cooking appliances are out of sight, yet easily accessible in the appliance center, and a pantry provides plenty of food storage space. At the far end of the room, a fireplace extends one corner, while a window seat in the other corner mirrors its shape.

Each of the other three bedrooms has a walk-in closet. Two of the bedrooms share a bath with a compartmentalized vanity and the third is a full guest suite with its own private bathroom and separate entrance.
