Bright, open and airy, this is a two-story contemporary home designed to meet the varied needs of family living. Gathering places include a sunny solarium-eating nook, a wide U-shaped kitchen with combined work island and eating bar, a formal dining room, and a huge living room, partially open to the second floor. A little more secluded, but still open, are the deck, a window seat on the landing halfway up the stairs, and a second floor loft that overlooks the entry hall on the front side and the living room toward the back. Brightened by a skylight, the utility room offers plenty of storage space and is easily spacious enough to accommodate a sewing machine and an exercise machine or two, if desired. A bedroom and adjacent bathroom are the only truly private areas on the ground floor. The remaining bedrooms are upstairs, where a master suite and bedroom 3 are located on either side of the loft. Each has its own bathroom. Clothes dropped into the chute at the top of the stairs, land in the utility room below. The master bathroom has two lavatories, one with a toilet and an over size shower, the other with a spa tub.
