Family room with 8 windows opens to Florida room
Contributing Writer
Most of the living space of this custom-built home is on the main level; however, the Cape Cod design allowed for a finished second level. Add in a full semi-finished basement and this brick home has generous space for every living option.
Listed for $335,000 by RE/MAX Alliance Realty, the house at 227 East Ave. in Eaton has about 3,060 square feet of living space on two levels, plus the full basement. The half-acre lot has a fenced back yard, a two-car, heated, detached garage, a two-car, attached garage with built-in cabinets and counter, a paver-brick patio and a concrete driveway.
Formal entry opens from the covered porch into the great room, which has hickory hardwood flooring that continues down a hallway and fills the main bedroom and one of the guest bedrooms. The main bedroom is off the great room tucked behind the open staircase that leads to the second floor.
The bedroom has a bay window with built-in storage window seat, a walk-in cedar-lined closet and a private bathroom that features a heart-shaped whirlpool tub, a walk-in shower and a double-sink vanity.
A hallway from the great room has two more cedar-lined closets and leads to two bedrooms, a full bathroom and the laundry room.
Pocket doors open from the great room to the eat-in kitchen, which has stainless-steel appliances, including a gas cooktop, wall oven, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. An island has seating for three and has storage options. A double sink is below a window, and another window acts as a pass-through to the family room. The laundry room is also accessible from the kitchen and has a wash sink and cabinet storage.
Eight windows give the family room a sun room effect and provide panoramic views of the tree-lined back yard. A door opens from the family room to an enclosed walkway that leads to a Florida room, which is also accessible through patio doors from the kitchen’s breakfast room.
The Florida room is enclosed with sliding patio doors allowing four-season use. There is a ceiling paddle fan and carpeting. A regular door opens to the brick patio and back yard.
Upstairs is a recreation room with wood-laminate flooring, two dormer window nooks and angled ceilings. Sliding barn doors open into a half bathroom and a set of double doors open to a bonus room with a closet and a window so it could be a fourth bedroom.
Garage access is off the great room. A door from the garage interior opens to a stairwell landing.
Off the landing are a half bathroom and the stairs to the basement. The full basement has been finished into a recreation room with kitchenette, a wall of storage closets, access to a bonus room and a full bathroom with step-in shower. Double doors open to another large room, which has semi-paneled walls, ceiling tiles and a concrete floor that needs treatment.
A separate mechanical room has an updated tank-less hot water tank, central air conditioning, a gas forced air furnace, water softener and storage.
