Spacious Bordine a sensible, classic choice

A covered front porch wraps around three sides of the Bordine (406-26) giving it an all weather sensibility and a classic, country appearance. The 3,250 square feet of living space is separated into the quiet sleeping quarters on the right side and the food preparation and family areas on the left.

The two-car garage has a depth that will allow a shop area in the rear. For ease of use, there is an extra set of stairs to the optional basement. Off the garage is a carport that runs the full length of the garage and part of the home.

A large study on the right of the entry has shelves built into the back wall. There is room enough for a reading table, chairs, as well as a complete office layout. Directly in front of the study door, an open U-shaped staircase leads to the upper level and to the optional basement below.

Beyond the vaulted formal dining room, the open kitchen design and nook area are convenient to the garage. Kitchen amenities include a large pantry, eating bar, and a built-in desk. The dormer above brightens this space. The utility room in this area has a sink, a drop-down ironing board, and a full bath.

From the nook, a sunroom with an optional spa provides an area for entertaining guests, as well as providing the family with relaxation after a hectic day. Heated with a wood stove, the cozy retreat also has a wet bar with an under-counter refrigerator, and a wine cabinet.

Open to the nook and kitchen, the vaulted family room has a patio door to the rear deck. A fireplace sits at an angle in the corner. In the master suite, an identical fireplace is mirrored on the same wall. Skylights and French doors brighten the rear of the suite, while two windows illuminate the bath. Double sinks and a large, two-fixture shower with a bench complete the master bath. A sink is also located outside the main bath area for convenience to meet busy schedules.

Two generous bedrooms share a full bath upstairs. The bath is compartmental design with a pocket door separating the sink area with a linen closet from the rest of the bath.
