Dasha's entrance a grand one

The entrance to the Dasha (406-02) puts one in mind of a capitol rotunda, with its curved portico outside and vaulted foyer bordered by an open circular staircase inside. While the same stately tone carries over into the high-ceilinged formal living room, family room, and oval dining room, the rest of this large contemporary home is much more relaxed. The open circular staircase leads to the second floor. Here, there are four large bedrooms, a loft/recreation room, and three full baths.

At its heart is a combined kitchen and family room with a sunny eating nook nestled into a bay window. The V-shaped center island, which houses both a range and a vegetable sink, also doubles as an eating bar. There is plenty of counter and storage space here to cook and serve large gatherings of family and friends.

The master suite is downstairs, separate from the other bedrooms. It features a large walk-in closet and double vanities located outside the water closet. A raised bay could either hold a spa, or serve as a bright sitting room.

The utility room has plenty of cupboards, counter space for folding clothes, and a fold down ironing board. Clothes, bed linen and towels from upstairs, arrive via a laundry chute.

Located off the three-car garage is another convenient full bath, which also serves the main floor, including the office/den.
