Pinehurt's classic lines outside combine with function inside

It is always exciting to find a home that has the classic lines of the past with the functional necessities of the present. The Pinehurst (D2311) with its 2,486 square feet meets these criteria. The exterior has a high arched porch with a window that matches the decor. By splitting the garage doors with a brick corner, the home appears larger. The gorgeous facade of the entry is only the beginning of this luxurious home.

Facing the entry is a decorative curved staircase, with vaulted living room beyond. Huge windows pour light into all of the corners. Because of its separateness, it would be ideal for formally entertaining of friends.

The kitchen, nook, and great room are uniquely arranged together to be open. The kitchen, with the central cooktop and eating bar, is open to the great room so conversations can flow with the family. Plentiful counterspace, a pantry for the spare canned goods and staples, and a built-in desk provides versatile workspace. With a fireplace directly across from the kitchen, cooking becomes more enjoyable chore. The nook is V-shaped with windows on both sides. Its unique contours allow easy view of the kitchen and great room. For informal dining, this area would be ideal.

The formal dining area is to the front of the home beyond the utility room. It has a wonderful window seat in the front, display cabinets on one side and a coffer vault ceiling. The stateliness of this room matches the formal living room and is ideal for entertaining. It has direct access from the entry.

The entire left side of this magnificent home is dedicated to the master suite and a den. The den can be accessed through French doors, or from the master suite through a pocket door. Wonderfully relaxing, this room filled with books, even has a window seat to curl up on to read about the adventures of the world.

The master suite has been designed with imagination and usefulness. The main suite is vaulted, with French doors providing charm. It has a built-in dresser, tucked away by the doors. The bath area is large and open, with double sinks, a corner spa tub, and a shower tucked away next to the enormous walk-in closet. Upstairs has three large bedrooms. Bedrooms 3 and 4 have wall closets and doors that face direct towards the bathroom. Bedroom 2 has a window seat for studying on those dreary winter days. The bath has double sinks, a tub and the every handy linen closet. The balance of the upstairs is open to the below, showing off the high ceilings of the living room and entry hall.
