Pontian's special features make it wondrous

A portico entry with turned steps on each side of a planter filled with assorted flowers welcomes one into the Pontian (338-022). Standing in the vaulted entry, the barrel vault creates an arch that extends from the massive double door entry to the rear of the home where light pours in from patio doors topped by another arched transom. This solid brick home of 2,533 square feet also offers an optional basement plan of 2,440 square feet.

Coat closets and double doors on each side of the basement stairs continue the exterior symmetry. To the right is a formal dining room, lighted by two windows in the front and a dormer window above. Traffic flow moves easily around the stairwell and raised breakfast nook.

The large, vaulted, country kitchen has a triple basin sink lighted by a garden window, and a dormer window above. Amenities include a separate freezer to allow extra storage of frozen food, a large walk-in pantry, a center island, and a raised dishwasher to avoid uncomfortable bending during clean up. Between the garage and the kitchen is a large utility room equipped with a pre-wash sink and counter space.

Between the kitchen and dining room, on the far right of the home, is the master suite. A walk-in closet offers enough room to change one's clothes inside. The bath has double his and her sinks, along with an oversized shower and tub.

On the left of the Pontian, the first set of double doors could remain closed for use of the room by a guest, or open for use as a den or office area. Straight ahead is the family gathering area, with a high vaulted ceiling, fireplace, and built-in entertainment center.

Down the hall to the far left of the home are bedrooms two and three, separated by a full bath. Both rooms are quite large with two windows on one wall and a single on the other.

The Pontian offers formal spaces for operating a home business or entertaining guests, as well as the informal, relaxing spaces like the large family room and great deck.
