At the heart of the home, an expansive great room will provide the ideal focus for family meals and get-togethers, as well as entertaining and relaxing.The family room will enjoy the warmth of gas fireplace during the cooler months, and during the summer, french doors open onto a large patio with steps down to the back garden. The kitchen is minimally separated from the great room by an angled eating bar. Perfect for snacks and coffees, the bar will double as a prep island. A walk-in pantry and ample counter top space will streamline meal preparation and save steps for the cook, who will never feel isolated from activities in the family or dining areas. The dining area occupies a bayed -out area with a window overlooking the back garden. This attractive niche for family meals is spacious enough to entertain dinner guests. A built -out buffet in the dining room will offer extra space for both storage and serving.
