Louise (337-040)

The delightful three-bedroom, three-bathroom Louise (337-040) is very pleasing to the eye. Built with exterior materials of brick and wood, this contemporary/country style charmer will appeal to a wide range of prospective owners. The Louise boasts 2,722 square feet of living space, with an additional 2,088 square feet available in the basement, attic and garage. A wraparound porch, with waist-high railing, adds to the hospitable atmosphere.

The open interior design is a true match for the lovely exterior. On the first floor, to the right of the entryway, is a multi-windowed living room. Entered through regal arches, this room provides an excellent view and a cozy spot for entertaining guests.

The dining room, large family room, nook and kitchen are completely open to each other; a big fireplace warms the entire area. A built-in hutch has been placed under the central stairway. Near the fireplace, this built-in shows off its contents to two rooms. The family room opens to the back deck, which has plenty of space for the whole gang to enjoy a summer cookout.

The walk-through kitchen, just a few short steps from the dining room, will surely please the cook in the family.

In addition to all the built-ins, there is an island cooktop, a sunny breakfast nook, an appliance center, a pantry and linen storage.

The isolated master suite has a generous sleeping area, a walk-in closet, access to the back deck and a private bathroom that includes a shower, spa, skylight and twin basins. A good-sized den/office situated next to the master suite contains a built-in bookcase and offers room for a PC, chairs and filing cabinets.

Completing the first floor is a fully equipped utility room with a full bath that leads into the garage. The garage houses a shop area with extra storage as well as the stairs to the basement.

The second level of the Louise has the 536-square-foot attic and the secondary sleeping quarters. There are two nice bedrooms here, perfect for older children. A full bathroom with twin basins services this floor. There is also a linen closet and two storage closets.
