Berrett (D5148)

Share Comment

Shuttered windows and several rooflines accented with brick and wood provide the 2,339-square-foot Berrett (D5148) with a beautiful facade. Three of the windows on the right, which face the front, provide a disguise for the garage and its unfinished storage area.

A covered porch provides protection for the entry to this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home. To the right of the door is the dining room with a study on the left. Stairs to the second floor and the unfinished basement are directly in front of the door with a large, vaulted great room beyond.

The open dining room could be used as a formal living room. There is a half bath on the right as one goes toward the kitchen. The open kitchen has counter space running around the wall in a "U" shape with a pantry and a built-in desk on the front wall. In the middle of the kitchen, an island has a circular eating bar. A nook with sliding doors to the backyard is located between the kitchen and the great room.

An 18-foot ceiling increases the spaciousness of the great room.

On the rear wall is a fireplace with windows on each side. The area from the great room, to the nook and to the kitchen makes a wonderful place for a family gathering or for entertaining friends.

Off to the left is the master suite. A small alcove protects the French door entry into a large, open room. Smaller French doors lead into a master bath with "his and her" sinks, a large spa tub and a private area for the shower and toilet. Straight through is a large walk-in closet.

Upstairs contains three other bedrooms, each with a large window and a wall closet. The full bath, adjacent to the unfinished storage room, has a tub and dual sinks. The unfinished storage area has 293 square feet and would be ideal as a playroom, a game room, or even an area for the kids to study or use computers.
