Fortner (407-60)

The Dutch hipped lines of the roof as well as the dormer add a unique and beautiful look to the Fortner (407-60). The long covered porch with square posts and railing between, as well as the brick along the bottom of the home, give this rambler a great fa‡ade from the street. The Fortner has 2,840 square feet of living space, as well as the unfinished basement of 1,151 square feet and the attic of 438 square feet over the three-car garage.

Vaulted ceilings are used in the center of the Fortner. The entry, living, dining and family rooms, as well as nook, are all vaulted. The living room has a large fireplace on the left wall with long windows facing the rear deck. The dining room has windows with French doors opening to the deck.

Adjacent to the dining room is the family room, also with French doors opening onto the rear deck, with a recessed hot tub. The right side of the family room has the stairs to the optional attic and basement. Toward the front of the home is the large kitchen and nook.

There is a broom closet and a computer table on the right side of the nook. Bay windows bathe the nook in extra light. The kitchen is "L" shaped with a large center island that has a vegetable sink and an eating bar. The main counter has a microwave oven, a dishwasher, a sink with a garden window over it, an appliance center in the corner, a cook top and a refrigerator.

The walk-in pantry is on the wall facing the kitchen.

The left side of the Fortner is all bedrooms. Bedrooms two and three are in front of the home, each with numerous windows and a large walk-in closet. Both bedrooms have access to half baths with a tub through two separate pocket doors.

The master suite in the Fortner is very large. It has a window seat within bay windows as well as a door that opens onto the rear deck for access to the hot tub. Separated from the main suite are the bathroom and the large walk-in closet.
