Media room in full, finished lower level
Contributing Writer
An L-shaped island with narrow prep-sink is the centerpiece to the updated kitchen in this home. Bench seating allows for larger dining space within the breakfast nook, and a more casual family room has a wall of glass that connects to the enclosed sun porch.
Tucked away on the main level are two bedroom suites and two staircases lead upstairs to four spacious bedrooms with built-ins.
Listed for $399,900 by Glasshouse Realty Group, the brick English-manor style home at 6840 Brigantine Way has about 5,825 square feet of living space, plus a full, finished basement that offers a media room, a game room, two bonus rooms plus three unfinished rooms.
Formal entry opens from a stone turret that protects the arched wooded front door. Inside, the two-story foyer has an open curved staircase and brass chandelier. To the right is a library with a wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookcases that are flanked by glass windows that look into the formal dining room.
A matching set of windows are on the opposite side of the dining room and allow views into the more casual bay breakfast nook. Double doors open from the kitchen into the dining room, which has a ceiling rosette.
Granite countertops cover the U-shaped workspace on walnut cabinetry that includes storage drawers, planning desk, bottle racks and glass-front hanging cabinets. Stainless-steel appliances include double wall ovens, four-burner gas cooktop with a central griddle and dishwasher. A double sink is below a double box window and the stone backsplash is diamond-shaped. A peninsula counter divides the kitchen from the breakfast room.
Off the kitchen is the family room with a brick fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill one wall and surround French doors that open to the sun porch. The porch has ceramic-tile flooring and has access to a paver-brick patio and the fenced back yard.
Doors from the family room open to both first-floor bedroom suites. The main bedroom has a hallway access from the foyer. The hallway leads to a walk-in closet, the bedroom and the laundry room. The bath features a long vanity with double sinks and a walk-in ceramic-tile shower. The second bedroom suite has a full bath and dressing area that connects to a walk-in closet.
Four bedrooms and two full bathrooms are located upstairs. Each bedroom has built-in storage or multiple closets. Both bathrooms have tub/shower and double-sink vanities. Another room allows for multiple uses and has walk-in attic access that includes a staircase to a third level.
The finished lower level has a spacious room with a wall of built-in shelves and media nooks and a wall of closets. A separate play room has access to two more rooms, both having closets. There is a full bathroom and several unfinished rooms for storage.
