This similarly built new home is well underway and will be move in ready by the beginning of September. One floor living with a clever floor plan featuring a little separation between the primary and other bedrooms. It's the kitchen, though, that is the heart of this home, with a large center island big enough for at least five bar stools and where everyone will gather. Then there's the Great Room that is still connected to the kitchen but it's own distinct room because open-concept-everything has had its time. With a cathedral ceiling, over-sized windows and a gas fireplace, it's somehow light, bright, airy and warm and cozy at the same time. And if you need more room, the huge basement could be finished to double your living space. With a dog shed entrance, as opposed to a bulkhead, this space would lend itself well to an in-law apartment or in-home business. All of this on over 3 wooded acres that seem a world away but just a few minutes to town and the turnpike. Lock this down today and there's still time to make some color choices!!
