Comfortable elegance is Rhapsody

Comfort with elegance; spaciousness with many extra features describes the ranch style of the Rhapsody (338-050). The exterior is brick with a large wrap-around-covered porch. Creative natural light is provided by skylights and light tubes. Disguising the garage is a brick planter under a row of large windows. There are two doors off the entry porch. One goes to the garage with a large shop and a separate storage area. The other opens into a vaulted family room with many windows. An entertainment center livens up the family room, while on the opposite side; a fireplace graces the dining area. Large overhead fans provide air circulation while complimenting the scale of the room.

The kitchen/nook area is very accessible with a nook that opens to the covered deck. There is an island cooktop with a raised eating bar and a large walk-in pantry for extra food storage is on the adjacent corner. A pocket door opens into the hall. A raised dishwasher has been added for ease of loading. Convenient to the entry is the office/library, lined with shelves and a large corner computer desk. French doors provide a grandiose entrance. Adjacent to the office is a half bath with the utility area around the corner.

Two bedrooms located in the rear of the home have large walk-in closets and personal linen closets. The larger of the two could be a guest room, with a private covered deck through sliding doors. Both bedrooms share a tub/shower combination with private half bath.

On the opposite side of the home is the unique master suite and a sun room or living room adjacent. The master suite opens onto the covered porch area separately through a door on the side and French doors in the rear. Numerous windows and skylights give the room extra sunlight. Adding to the uniqueness of the master suite, an oversized walk-in closet with a second water heater. The bath has dual sinks, an oversized tub, shower, and a pocket door entrance to the sun room/living room.

A vaulted formal living room would be wonderful with four skylights and a half moon window overhead to brighten the area and provide extra light. However, equally ideal would be to install a spa and use this room as a sun room. The room is shut off from the home with the elegance of the French doors.
