The lower level gets you additional bedrooms plus plenty of play space and more outdoor viewing areas.

This rustic ranch has Craftsman flair and would be ideally situated on a pristine lakefront or Mountain view lot. Stacked stone, shakes, siding and a covered front porch supported by wooden beams blend beautifully to create a magnificent exterior façade. There are four bedrooms and four baths in excess of 2,100 square feet of living space. The front porch leads to the spacious foyer which is open to the formal dining room with column detailing and a trey ceiling. The open concept design extends into the great room which measures 21’x16’, has a handsome fireplace, built-in cabinetry and a triple window wall overlooking the expansive rear deck. The gourmet kitchen is a masterful use of space and features an angled breakfast bar, an enormous walk-in pantry and a plethora of additional counter and cabinet space. The vaulted breakfast room is an amazing space in which to casually dine with windows surrounding the space on three sides. The rear deck encompasses the breakfast room on two sides while the third features a screened porch. The open concept design and amazing outdoor space create a beautiful space in which to entertain large gatherings or to enjoy family time. The fourth bedroom or guest suite is spacious with ample closet space and private access to the screened porch. A hall bath is adjacent to the bedroom. There is a large laundry room leading to the side porch and subsequent three car garage. The first floor master suite is elegantly appointed and features a spacious bedroom with a gorgeous trey ceiling accent and private access to the rear deck. His and her oversized walk-in closets line the hallway to the master bath.

The daylight basement has two additional bedrooms, both of which are clearly oversized and contain ample closet space. Bedroom three has a triple bay window and private access to the terrace level along with a private bath area and shared vanity and toilet area.

I was perusing through some of the amazing before and after tours over on the Better Homes & Gardens website recently (ah, the inspiration!) when I ran across a gorgeous porch makeover.

AFTER Things I love in this room... the turquoise + yellow roman shades... the window seating... the layered rugs... it's all so delicious and perfect for a sun porch!

Both the master bathroom and walk-in closet with its own island are there to pamper homeowners. The main staircase serves bedrooms 3 and 4 with their own laundry room and a back staircase takes you to a private guest suite that works well as an in-law suite.
