Julia (337-090)

Share Comment

The 2,499-square-foot Julia (337-090), with a handsome brick and wood exterior, has a unique floor design that will captivate the discerning buyer. All the available space has been used in a way to maximize the livability of the Julia. A covered porch runs all the way to the back, dividing the three-bedroom, two-bathroom house from the detached two-car garage.

Entry from the covered porch leads into the vaulted family room. As the main gathering space in the Julia, this large room is warmed by a corner wood stove. A wood box is located beneath the stairway leading to a 387-square-foot attic. Sliding glass doors open onto a side deck.

Projecting from the front of the house is the guest bedroom. It is semiprivate and equipped with a corner walk-in closet and a single sink along one wall. A full bathroom with two sinks and a tub is located just outside the door. Adjacent to the guest suite is the second bedroom. This room also has a walk-in closet and a single sink. Three large windows bathe the room with extra light.

The isolated master suite is loaded with amenities, including a large sleeping area, a huge walk-in closet with built-in shelves on the outside wall and a private patio through sliding doors off the main suite.

The sumptuous bathroom contains an oversized corner shower, a compartmentalized toilet, linen storage and a raised corner spa brightened by large overhead windows.

Next to the master suite is a 100-square-foot home office. There is enough room here for a PC, chairs and filing cabinets. The walk-through kitchen, directly across from the vaulted dining room, has a breakfast nook, an island cooktop, a pantry and double ovens. The nook opens onto a covered back deck that is long enough to host the whole gang at a summer barbecue.

The utility room has two sinks and space for a freezer. The detached two-car garage has room for a shop as well as extra storage. Another 312 square feet is available in a second attic.
