Wellings (407-61)

Share Comment

The four-bedroom, four-bathroom Wellings (407-61) is a charming brick country home with a wrapping front porch and 3,549 square feet of living space. The inset entry is flanked by two generous rooms. On the left is a dining room, brightened by two large windows. The formal living room, unique in design with an angular portion filled with windows, is on the right. The shelves straight ahead could display precious collectibles.

Double doors lead to the master suite on the right, while the sunken family room is to the left. The master suite creates a luxurious escape with a window seat for daydreaming and a sitting room with French doors that lead to the deck. A double-sided fireplace offers a cozy touch to the suite, while many windows brighten the space with natural light. The master bath provides his and hers walk-in closets, two separate sink areas, and both a spa tub and a shower. The entire bath is made private by pocket doors.

Rounding the banister U-shaped stairs, the family room is open to an eating bar and a fireplace. A large window gives a view, and a door leads to the rear deck. Two skylights and a garden window brighten the nearby kitchen.

Several cooks could work together in this kitchen with ease. Plenty of counter space, a vegetable sink, and a separate cooktop and oven make any culinary task more enjoyable.

The three upstairs bedrooms are generously sized — only two share a bathroom, while the third room has a private bath. Each room has its own attic access for storing seasonal items. At the bottom of the stairs, a hall leads into the sewing room and den. Each room contains a desk or built-in counter area. These two downstairs rooms could be used as bedrooms, since they are located near a bath.

From the garage entry, the utility room is on the right, while a closet and bench are located on the left. The utility room is equipped with a washbasin and counter space for sorting and folding laundry. The large garage has room for three cars and provides a workbench near the service door.
