These strategic combinations elicit the art of living in the flow, making the home a natural mood enhancer and functional yet creative space that's also incredibly cozy. The majority of items in the home are 100% natural: wood, fibers, ceramics, glass, metal, crystal, marble, etc. THE LIVING ENVIRONMENT The sunroom has decor and artwork that pops with color and vitality during daylight hours. Natural light from double windows and four daylight bulbs in the ceiling fan hanging just below a skylight makes this room feel simultaneously vibrant yet serene. The half-wall open staircase leads to the upper-level hallway, which has dimmable, recessed lighting that, along with a 15-piece votive candle wall assembly, turns the sunroom into a tranquil sanctuary at night. The well-appointed kitchen has a three-year new stainless-steel dishwasher, sink/disposal, refrigerator, and double gas oven/stove, complementing a beautiful quartz countertop. The Italian red tiled floors, white shaker cabinets, and geometrically designed metal ceilings add a unique blend of modern and traditional. There is ample light for cooking with double windows and two light sources. Dimmable lighting creates a serene ambiance for dining. These appealing features make cooking and dining a pleasurable experience. The enclosed porch is steps away, bringing in ample sunlight with three sides of windows. A large room off the kitchen doubles as an entertainment space, even as its simple yet elegant design serves as an office or reading room. The triple pocket doors ensure privacy as the room easily converts to a bedroom with a comfortable plush queen mattress convertible couch. A modern full bath with tub/shower, marbled countertops, and designer lighting is steps away. Loaded with ambience, three walls of oversized windows encase the open floor design of the living room/dining combination. Comfy couches and area carpets covering the beautiful hardwood floors are adjacent to a natural wood-burning fireplace. The glass dining table has six natural cane chairs and a unique dimmable light fixture hovering above. The next level has two bedrooms and a spacious bathroom with a jacuzzi, a separate shower, and a bidet. The oversized primary bedroom has two double-mirrored closets with much depth for extra storage. Added amenities include: • Two skylights. • A ceiling fan. • Dimmable recessed lights. • A pellet stove for warmth and ambiance. • A mirrored makeup desk. Relax your muscles in the massage chair before you fall asleep in the cozy Tempur-Pedic queen mattress and bed. The second upstairs bedroom is outfitted with a queen bed, headboard, nightstand, dresser, and desk in matching natural blonde wood. A windowed wall lets in plenty of light, and a dimmable overhead light provides a peaceful glow at night. I'm glad you are considering my home!
