The Bradbury (D4948) is a simply designed, three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a lot of character, both inside and out. The exterior of this 1,758-square-foot, single-story home is brick with uniquely shaped windows.

It has a large front door with window panels on each side, a covered front porch with pillars and an added touch of shutters on the front window. The two-car garage is on the right side, with one big door, a window on the front, and accent lights on the sides.

Once inside the Bradbury, the foyer leads to the great room in the rear and the kitchen, nook, and dining room on the right. The kitchen is C-shaped, with the pantry and refrigerator on the front wall. A door opens into the garage, next to a good-sized utility. The nook has a large window on the side and patio doors in the rear that open onto the covered stoop

The dining room is next to the great room. Large windows facing the rear light the room and make it pleasant for evening meals. The great room has an 11-foot ceiling and a fireplace in the rear. The room is open and spacious, ideal for family gatherings and entertaining.

The master suite is located in the rear of this great home. It has a large suite area with three windows overlooking the backyard. The master bath has a shower, spa tub, dual sinks, with the walk-in closet to the rear.

Two remaining bedrooms are located on the left side and in the front of the Bradbury. This is ideal for smaller children, because the rooms are close to the master suite. A full bath is in the hallway, convenient to both bedrooms and the rest of the home. A large linen closet is also in the hallway.

Stairs to the unfinished, 1,758-square-foot basement are next to the linen closet. With this basement added to the 1,758 square feet in the Bradbury, this would make an ideal starter home for a young family. There is room to grow if the need would arise.
