Fantastic Family Home

This home was originally built with a curved courtyard in front, with square stone columns and a decorative metal railing.

The stonework on the courtyard walls ties in with the stonework found on other parts of the house, and creates a nice foundation for this four–bedroom home.

After coming through the arched entry doors, you find yourself in a spacious foyer with small coat closets on either side of the doors. The foyer opens into a gallery space, which has a pair of French doors that open onto the outdoor courtyard in front. To the left is an arched opening to a formal dining room, which has a nook for built–ins or a dining room hutch. To the right a pair of sliding doors leads to a study, which also has French doors that bring in sunlight, and lead to the courtyard space. As you continue down the gallery space, you pass a powder room before entering an open kitchen space.

The kitchen has a center island, and a free standing counter which can have an extended counter for eating. A pantry is located in one corner, and an open breakfast nook with angled bay windows and a glazed door leading to a large deck brightens the room with sunlight.

Across from the breakfast nook is a stairwell, and a dropped wood beam divides the space from a two story high family room, which has a central fireplace. Two story high windows fill an arched opening that looks out to the front courtyard, and bring in tons of views and sunlight to the dramatic family room.
