A manicured front yard with keystone accents has garden beds that wrap around to the fenced back yard. The white-vinyl corral fencing embraces the professionally landscaped yard that offers a variety of perennials and colorful trees and shrubs along a winding gravel pathway. A swinging bench seat is tucked within a quiet garden nook and electric is available for accent lighting or water features.

A gravel path ends at a stamped concrete patio that has an entrance to the screen-enclosed rear porch. The porch has a stamped concrete floor.

Formal entry opens off a covered porch into a foyer, which branches to three separate social areas of the main level. A semi-open staircase is accented by an oak spindled railing, and oak hardwood flooring fills the foyer and continues throughout the lower level.

Directly off the foyer is access to a half bathroom with a pedestal sink. Entrance is also here to the two-car garage with side service door.

A bay bump-out off the family room gives the room a variety of floor plan options as the windows fill the room with natural light and offers space for a sitting area. A gas fireplace has a wood mantel and ceramic-tile surround. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO BY KATHY TYLER

To the left, a vaulted ceiling allows for a grand wall of built-in bookcases in the living room, which has been converted to a library sitting room. An arched window within a window nook fills the room with natural light and creates a sunny reading space.

Opposite the window, an arched walkway with wood trim leads into the dining room. French patio doors open from the dining room into the screen-enclosed porch.

Accessible from both the kitchen and the foyer, the kitchen has two walls of white cabinetry with granite countertops. A window is above the double sink, and an island has storage and a butcher-block countertop. There is a pantry closet and a coffee station near the refrigerator nook.

A bay bump-out creates the breakfast room and allows for panoramic views of the backyard gardens. Across the breakfast room is a planning station with desk and hanging white cabinetry, matching the kitchen.
