Star’s unusual lines catch eyes

The Star would shine brilliantly as a starter home or for the empty nester who needs an office. The exterior is a mixture of classic and ranch.

The covered porch area is roomy enough for a swing or a play area during the bad weather for the kids. The classic rooflines contribute to the unusual lines of this 1,460-square-foot home.

The vaulted entry opens directly into an open living/dining room. Numerous windows line the walls of the vaulted living room. The dining area has sliding doors that open onto a rear deck.

In the rear is a vaulted corner kitchen with an eating bar, window sink, dishwasher and refrigerator. Over the area between the living room and the kitchen is a built-in shelf area.

The master suite is open with a wall closet, linen closet and private bath. A single sink, a tub and two built-in shelves make up the master bath.

A covered porch adds to the luxury of this suite. This would be an ideal spot for a hot tub.

Adjacent to the master bath is the second bathroom. With the exception of the built-in shelves, it is the same as the master bath. Bedroom 2 is in the front corner of the home. It has a large window and a wall closet that runs the length of one wall.

The location of bedroom 3 makes it ideal for use as an office. It is around the corner from the entry. A large window faces the front.

Bedrooms 2 and 3 are separated by the utility room. In the hall outside the utility is a large linen closet behind folding doors. A pocket door seals the utility room, while a regular door opens into the garage area.

The garage is designed for two cars with a single large door. There are two windows on the side of the garage that faces the home. The forced air unit and water heater are in the garage.
