A generously sized deck adds to the spaciousness of the 3,109-square-foot Naomi (404-22), which would be at home in a woodland setting or a wonderfully landscaped city lot, level or sloped.
The Naomi features three bedrooms and 2½ bathrooms over two floors.
The living area is almost equally divided between the main floor and the daylight basement, where the huge family room nestles with its fireplace and room for several furniture groupings. There is direct access from the family room to the half-bathroom, which has been designed to facilitate the inclusion of future bedrooms with a separating full bath. Next to the half-bathroom is the large utility room, which boasts a built-in ironing board and folding table.
The rest of the living area is located on the main level. High, open-beamed, vaulted ceilings grace the living room, dining room, kitchen and den, giving added visual space and a feeling of strength and permanence.
The basement stairs lead to the large, efficiently designed kitchen, which includes a walk-in pantry as well as the other usual and necessary amenities. A tiled area for a wood-burning stove not only integrates the kitchen and adjoining dining room, but also adds definition to both. French doors offer direct access from the dining room to the good-sized back patio, as well as admitting outdoor light.
The kitchen, dining room and nice-sized den/office/guest room are all on the same level, but the sunken living room is three steps down, adding a little more elevation to the ceiling. The living room measures more than 17 feet by 16 feet and is graced by a lovely tiled-hearth fireplace, which shares a flue chase with the dining-room stove.
The master suite and second bedroom are both quite large, each has a full bathroom, and large back-to-back sound buffering, closets separate them.
The master suite offers direct access to large front deck, a perfect place for that first cup of morning coffee.
