Inspired by designs that draw light into the home with high ceilings and expansive floor to ceiling glass, the architects created an open, contemporary floor plan that connects the primary rooms and at the same time draws one's eye out to the natural landscape surrounding the home. The fluidity of movement from one area to the another, both inside and outside, inspires a sense of gathering. And, the chef's kitchen with its working pantry support any number of collaborations from the professional and formal to the casual and relaxed. Private spaces on the upper and lower levels afford the resident(s) with ample space to relax, work or play. Keep cars and toys (canoes, bikes, sports equipment...) in the oversized heated garage. Walk the lakes, enjoy the metro...this is truly a special home that offers a lot of privacy but is perfectly located for taking advantage of a community that has so much to offer.
