Prairie's features make for comfortable living

The traditional two-story look of this country home will fit into many different areas of the country. The Prairie (D2285) has a covered porch, a second story dormer, numerous windows to brighten the inside as well as enhance the exterior, and a three-car garage. Wrapped into this personable home is 2,115 square feet of living space and includes many amenities.

The entry of the Prairie faces the Great Room with the dining area open on the left and the entire right side dedicated to the master suite. The dining area has a large open arch with a built-in hutch on the opposite wall. To enhance lighting and room decor, there is a large window seat facing the front porch. Running along between the dining and the great rooms is the stairs to the second floor and optional basement. A half bath is adjacent to the utility room, with a storage closet, sink, and door to the garage.

The rear kitchen has a garden window over the sink, with the eating bar on the center island. The pantry and a desk run along the one wall facing the nook. Enhanced with two window seats, this area would be to sit in the mornings and enjoy a cup of coffee while reading the paper.

The great room is long and narrow, with a huge fireplace centered on the rear wall. Vaulting this room gives one the feeling of wide-open spaces. Off the great room is the master suite. The main suite area, vaulted for a spacious look, is very large. There is an enormous bath area with his and her sinks, a separated shower and toilet area, and a large spa tub inset in the corner. Completing the bath area is a walk-in closet.

The upstairs of the Prairie has three more bedrooms and a full bath. The bath with a tub is situated between bedrooms two and three with a linen closet. Bedroom four is uniquely vaulted with its own linen closet. Open to the entry, directly below the outside wall of bedroom four, is a shelf for plants or collectibles.

The Prairie would not only be an ideal home for the larger family, but would also make a great home for the retired couple with the upstairs bedrooms for company and the downstairs master suite. Spacious living area, wonderful windows, adaptable exterior facade, all makes the Prairie an ideal home in which to live.
