The classic formal dining room off the foyer will abound with good conversation and laughter during the holidays as you host gatherings of family and friends.

The spacious formal dining room has more than ample room to host large table and chairs, china cabinet and server.
The spacious gourmet kitchen will be the pride and joy of the household chef. Handsome corbels and impressive crown moldings adds the custom furniture style to the cabinetry created by Morgan Creek Cabinets. Considerable thought was given to the design and combination of types of cabinetry and drawers from glass fronted upper cabinets and solid doors,open shelving and closed cabinets in the oversized center island, various drawers and nooks. Granite counter space was maximized by the clever use of a corner sink and placement of a second prep sink near the gas range. Other kitchen amenities and appliances include: large island with butcher block top, self-cleaning double ovens, dishwasher and garbage disposal.
The expansive family room and breakfast area will become a favorite relaxing space in the home. Cathedral ceilings add a loft style to this great space with an open second floor walkway that overlooks the room. Chilly evenings will be enjoyed nestled by the gas log fireplace that is surrounded by warm classic marble and a carved wood mantle.
A wonderful covered porch stretches across the back of the house. It is accessed via four sets of French doors flanked by floor to ceiling windows in the formal living room, family and breakfast rooms and the adjacent media room, creating an inviting flow for relaxing with family or entertaining friends. Complete with bead board ceiling and ceiling fans the summer style porch also offers the ideal spot to enjoy a glass of iced tea and a good novel. Extended stairs lead from the porch down to the gorgeous in ground pool with diving board and surrounding stone deck.

The hardwood floors highlight the crisp white millwork. Fully capable of hosting a full suite of furniture, the master bedroom suite also boasts a sitting room and his and her walk-in closets.
