Set on a private lane, the home features hexagonal rooms (see floor plans) with views from every room of the serene, landscaped yard. One of the many unique features of the home is the use of butternut wood as walls and cabinets throughout the home. The use of natural materials installed in the home has created a natural setting both inside and outside. For example, much of the first floor features a cork floor while the remainder of the home has gorgeous hardwood floors. From the circular driveway, an exterior staircase flanked by stone welcomes family and friends to this home. Step into a hexagonal foyer that features recessed closet doors to create continuous walls. Turn right into a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace, uplighting, and unobstructed views of the outdoors. Adjacent to the living room is a den with a floor-to-ceiling stone faade surrounding a second wood-burning fireplace. Lined with bookcases, the family is a cozy place to gather for games or movies. Stepping left from the foyer is the dining room, which flows to the kitchen, laundry room, and garage. The eat-in kitchen is inviting to all with its butternut 42” cabinets, concrete countertops, Wolf six-burner gas range with stainless steel hooded vent, Sub-Zero counter depth refrigerator, Bosch double-wall ovens, and Miele dishwasher. There are multiple pantry cabinets providing much storage. The laundry room has front-loaded appliances, a sink, concrete countertops, and cabinets. A coat cubby and bench are a landing place between the 2-car garage and hallway to the kitchen. A private office is situated between the family room and primary first-floor bedroom with a carved wall desk made of butternut wood, which is the focal point of this room. The primary bedroom is an inviting sanctuary with picturesque windows. The primary bath has been thoughtfully renovated with a walk-in tiled shower, concrete countertop, heated tiled floor, and built-in cabinets. A second first-floor bedroom overlooks the backyard and has access to a full bathroom across the hall, which is finished in natural earthtone colors.
