A wide country style porch, complete with railings and posts, gives the Lannie the appeal of an old-style country home. However, the interior of this two-story home has a contemporary flavor.

Just inside the front door, a U-shaped stairway, with polished colonial wood dowel posts and banister, leads upstairs. A bridge at the top connects the stairway to the two upstairs bedrooms. Those two bedrooms share a bath. An extra vanity provides make-up space outside the bathroom.

An arched entry connects the dining room and the kitchen. The kitchen, nook and family room run together. French doors fill the family room with light and offer easy access to the deck for leisurely meals outside. A colonial fireplace is located off the large family room.

The study offers privacy for a small home business or school homework.

The master suite has a large walk-in closet and an entrance, through French doors, to the deck. The master suite has a private bath. The amenities include a custom tub, shower and double vanities.
