Sprawling oasis in Vandalia offers quiet grace

A hidden gem along Taylorsville Reserve offers a quiet, Colorado-style home with recreational options on a 3.72-acre lot.

The stone exterior blends with the wooden canopy as the main residence is located beyond the roundabout. Lantern-accented stone posts flank the paver-stone walkway to the stone portico entry. A solid wood door with side lights opens into a foyer hallway. An arched threshold opens into a great room, which flows into adjoining dining and sitting areas. Palladian windows flank a stone fireplace, which is the centerpiece to the spacious social areas. The windows allow panoramic views of the wooded backyard.

Listed for $985,000 by Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Professional Realty, the “reverse ranch” home at 2310 Tadmor Court has about 3,260 square feet of living space. The 3.72-acre property includes a separate pool house with an in-ground, ozone-cleaned lap pool, a recreation room with wet bar, two separate full bathrooms with walk-in showers, a garden room with vaulted ceiling, a two-car garage and fenced pasture for small animals.

At the main residence, the property has a screen-enclosed porch with a cathedral ceiling, a wrap-around deck, a three-car garage with electric charging station, a concrete driveway with extra parking pad and backyard walking paths.

Back inside, the great room expands into a dining area with a built-in buffet with countertop and glass-panel hanging cabinetry. Tucked off the great room is a sitting room or den with a dormer window skylight and a wall of built-in cabinetry.

A large granite island allows for additional workspace and seating in the kitchen. The U-shaped design offers an abundance of custom-built cabinetry. A window is above the double sink and there is a gas cooktop, double wall opens and a walk-in pantry closet. A dormer window skylight is above the island.

A long hallway from the kitchen provides access to a half bathroom and a laundry room. A pocket door opens into the laundry room which has a wash sink and hanging cabinetry. Along another wall is a built-in desk with a tower of wooden filing drawers. There is a pocket-door closet and access to the three-car garage.

The hallway ends at the entrance to the primary bedroom which has a large walk-in closet with built-in storage. The primary bathroom has a walk-in ceramic-tile shower, a free-standing tub below a window, a double sink vanity and a toilet room. Ceramic tile accents the walls space and complements the porcelain flooring.

Sliding glass doors open off the great room to the wrap-around deck and another glass door opens into the screen-enclosed porch. The porch has a cathedral ceiling with cross beams and a paddle fan.

An open staircase is accented by bold wooden spindles as the staircase ascends to the lower level, which has been finished into a spacious family room. One wall has a built-in entertainment center. Patio doors open out to a paver-stone patio and the wooded backyard.

A long hallway leads to two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a craft room and unfinished storage room with the home’s mechanical systems.
