Magnolia would fit sloped lots perfectly

Sometimes finding the ideal home for a sloping lot is difficult. The Magnolia (500-26) has five full bedrooms and one of the bedrooms could actually be used as an in-law suite if needed. The home is very contemporary looking but it is not plain. It has rock cornices on the corners in the front, and decorative fascia on the roofline. In the rear, the covered deck on the first level is also a covered patio on the basement level.

Crossing the covered stoop brings one into the Magnolia's front door. On the left side is a coffer vaulted formal dining area. The room is bathed in light from the huge window in the front. The dining area is open to the living room in the rear, which is also vaulted. Big windows across the back of the living room and the nook again bring the sunlight inside.

A "C" shaped counter space open to the living room by a half wall is ideal when entertaining. It makes an area easy to set food for a buffet. Along the left wall is the range/oven, refrigerator, a pantry, and, behind a pocket door, the utility room with a door to the two-car garage.

Off the nook is the door to the master suite. This room is large and open with the enormous walk-in closet and master bath. The toilet is a private area with its own window. The oversized tub has a "his and her" sink on each side and a large shower in the corner.

Across the home are the other two bedrooms that are upstairs. One room has a wall closet and a built-in desk while the other room has a larger walk-in closet. Situated between them is a full bath with a tub and dual sinks. Across the hall is large linen closet and a small niche for collectibles. The stairs to the basement are right there also.

Downstairs contains an optional bedroom five as well as a family room and the guest suite/in-law suite. Bedroom five has a long wall closet and a window that overlooks the backyard. The family room has windows and a patio door that opens onto the covered patio in the rear. The guest room has access to a full bath from inside the suite as well as the family room having the same access from that side.
