Rachel’s exterior a perfect showcase

The beautiful wood and stone exterior of the Rachel (337-050) is a perfect showcase for a 3,419-square-foot floor design spread over two levels. A wrap-around front porch welcomes your visitors into this gracious home.

A vaulted entry leads you to a first floor abounding with open spaces. To the right of the entry, past the stairs to the upper level, is a comfortable living room equipped with a gas fireplace. This is the perfect spot for after dinner coffee and good conversation. To the left of the entry is a good-sized office/guest room with closet and storage space.

The family room in the Rachel is huge, befitting the main gathering spot. Here you have a cozy fireplace along with a built-in entertainment center. There is access to the back deck, for loads of summer fun. You may also go directly from the family room into the two-car garage. There is extra storage room available here, along with plenty of room for a complete shop.

The U-shaped kitchen has all the built-in cabinets you would expect, plus an adjoining breakfast nook, big pantry, island cook top and double ovens.

A few steps through an attractive archway and you are in the formal dining area. Open the stylish French doors and turn any meal into a memorable occasion.

The top of the second floor stairway offers a view of the entryway below. This level contains the main sleeping areas, including the exquisite master suite with its coffered vault over the sleeping section, handy security system, gas fireplace, and twin walk-in closets. The master bathroom is very large, with skylights, twin basins, spa and linen storage. Between the twin closets is access to 513 feet of attic space.

There are two very nice secondary bedrooms on this floor, along with another full bathroom, a big linen closet and a utility room with a built-in ironing board and table for folding clothes.
