Just in through the front door, sunlight pours into the entryway, and from here, French doors open to reveal this home’s warm and inviting atmosphere. Relax in the living room where a gas stove helps to create a cozy, welcoming setting. Gorgeous hickory floors flow into the family room awash with natural light; this space could also be used as a dining room, where you’ll find more than enough space for a full-sized dining set.
The adjacent kitchen is within reach from here, and this customized space shows off stunning maple cabinets that offer an abundance of storage. Open shelving presents the perfect opportunity to set up a coffee bar and display favorite dishware, but the real star of the show is the spectacular fused glass backsplash! Additionally, gleaming quartz counters, sleek appliances, and plenty of seating thanks to the open dining area all contribute the ideal blend of fashion, flair, and function.
A total of 3 bedrooms provide loved ones with their own private havens to unwind in, and in the primary bedroom, a dreamy experience awaits. For starters, the bedroom features a slider to the back deck, making it easy to access the hot tub. Rejuvenate in the hot tub, and refresh in the main bath that features a double headed shower, a luxe heated tile floor, and a custom fused glass backsplash. Plus, make sure to check out the stunning home office—a huge wall-to-wall desk and gorgeous hickory cabinetry built by Erickson create the ideal environment for productivity, focus, and creativity!
To access the backyard, head through a multi-purpose room to reach the 1,000+ square foot deck. Enjoy the very best in outdoor living here—dine outside in the fresh air when the weather warms up, host weekend BBQs all summer long, and let your stress melt away in the hot tub!
From the deck, the lawn leads the way to the 672-square foot self-contained cottage. This getaway features a bedroom, 1.25 baths, a kitchen, living room, and alley parking. Guests can have their own space when they visit, or you could even use the cottage as an office!
