Gabled Cottage Home

This charming bungalow has features often found on Craftsman style homes, such as an oversized covered entry porch framed by brick veneer columns, dormers, and wood exterior details.

Interior details reflect the clean lines and simplicity of the Craftsman tradition as well. And the upper floor bedrooms and upper bonus room allow for large and open living spaces on the first floor.

The covered front porch, framed by an arched opening that spans the entire width of the home, provides a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Upon entering the house, you find yourself in a cozy entry foyer with an open stairwell to the upper floor, a large coat closet, and a living room to the right.

The central fireplace in the living room is the main focal point, and it is flanked by built–ins with windows above them. Like many Craftsman bungalows, a large framed opening leads to a formal dining room space, which is also open to the centrally located kitchen. A central island encloses the stove, and provides a raised counter for serving or eating. And a cozy nook accommodates a table and benches for casual meals. Sliding doors separate the dining room from a den with a built in entertainment center, and a glazed door that opens onto the backyard. From the kitchen, a door opening leads to a full bath and a rear mudroom, which has a door to the two car garage. A rear staircase leads to a large upper bonus room above the garage.

Upstairs there is a conveniently located laundry room located off of the stair landing. The master bedroom features a large dormer with windows facing the front, a walk in closet, and a master bath with a private toilet and shower room. Two more bedrooms share a full bathroom with a private bath and toilet room.
