Brick detailing, along with attractive lap siding and a wood-shake roof, give the 2,264-square-foot Montgomery a rich exterior. This home is perfect for a retired couple that has frequent overnight visitors, or perhaps a family that includes an elderly parent. Whatever the makeup of the household, there is plenty of room here to accommodate.
The railed front porch leads you into the skylit entry of this spacious first-floor design. To the left is the vaulted formal dining room, where you and your guests can dine in skylit comfort.A large window brings in more light while providing a view of the front landscape. Opposite from the dining room is a generous living room, where after-dinner coffee and good conversation are in order. A wide front window admits the sunshine when the weather is nice.
Angled to the right of the living room is a small bedroom that could serve as a home office or den. Adjacent to this room is a luxurious guest suite. Here your visitors are sure to have a comfortable stay. Skylit and roomy, this suite features a walk-in closet, huge bathroom with separate shower, toilet and vanity, skylight and oversized tub with glass wall enclosure.
There is also private access to a small back deck, perfect for soaking up the sun on warm summer days.
The large, skylit family room is the place for everyone to gather in front of the television or play board games while the built-in fireplace warms the festivities. Lots of shelf and storage space is available.
The walk-through kitchen is situated so that the cook can easily prepare and serve meals. Vaulted ceiling, skylight, walk-in pantry, eating bar and handy desk are some of the features. A half-bath and large utility room, with freezer, ironing board and storage, complete the first-floor plan.
The upper floor is given over to the master suite. Facing the rear and isolated for privacy, the entire back wall is windowed to present a broad view of the surrounding terrain. An attic provides extra storage space.
