Bedroom suite has sitting area with fireplace
Contributing Writer
Hidden from the road and surrounded by lush woods, this brick-and-vinyl home has three levels of living space with panoramic views of the 2.7-acre property.
Listed for $650,000 by HER Realtors, the house at 6960 Mad River Road has about 5,720 square feet of living space. Entrance to the property is down a paved circular driveway. Extra parking is near the three-car garage, and wide steps lead up to the stately leaded-glass front door.
Inside, the floor plan offers a multitude of rooms that could have a variety of uses, including a first-floor bedroom, upstairs or main-level laundry, a library, a casual media room and a recreation and game room.
Upon entry, a spindled staircase leads up to a catwalk and down to the lower level. Hardwood flooring fills the entire main level. Multiple skylights, oversized windows and French patio doors allow for views of the surrounding woods.
Formal areas are to the left and right of the foyer. The living room with a bay window feeds into the library, which has a wall of built-in bookcases and carpeted sitting shelf. French doors open to the upper wrap-around deck, which is also accessible from the morning room.
The great room has a vaulted ceiling with skylights and a gas fireplace surrounded by a wood mantel and marble hearth. French doors open off the great room into a sun room or possible bedroom, which has a vaulted ceiling with skylights, walls of windows and a private entrance to the full bathroom with walk-in shower.
Accessible through a butler’s pantry with wet bar and the great room are the kitchen and breakfast room. The kitchen has a large island with gas cooktop and seating for six. One wall has two buffet counters surrounding the refrigerator nook and wall ovens.
Granite countertops complement the light cabinetry, some of which have glass doors. A pass-through is above the sink and looks into the morning room which has a vaulted ceiling with skylights and access to the rear balcony deck. Off the kitchen is a mud room with laundry hook-ups, closets, sink and folding counter, half bathroom access, garage access and side entry out to the deck and driveway.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a laundry room. The main bedroom suite has a sitting area with a gas fireplace, a cathedral ceiling, two extra-deep walk-in closets and double-door entry into the private bath. The bath features a walk-in shower, a whirlpool tub, two separate single-sink vanities, a step-in closet, two linen closets and a cathedral ceiling with chandelier.
Another bedroom has a private bath while the third bedroom has hallway access to a bath. The laundry room has a wash sink, hanging cabinets, a folding island and an ironing board. There is a closet, which houses the second heating and cooling system.
A recreation room is at the bottom of the staircase to the lower level. A gas fireplace is the centerpiece to the room. There is also a wet bar that seats six along the opposite wall. A media room or exercise room is accessible from the recreation room and from behind the bar. There are tall windows and wood-laminate flooring within this bonus room.
Three sets of patio doors open to the lower wooden deck. The third set is from a possible bedroom, which has access to a full bath. There is also a semi-finish bonus room with concrete floor for possible storage and access to the mechanical systems.
