A five-bedroom, 4.75-bath contemporary two-story near Arlington is our featured new construction this week. It includes a side-entrance three-car garage, RV parking, a sprinkler system and an extended covered front porch with pine soffit.
Exterior appointments include cement-planked siding with stone accents, a composition roof, backyard patio with old-fashioned lamppost lighting, drought-resistant landscaping, a sports court, and garden space.
The home is on 9.9 fenced, gated and level acres with a pond, stables, and a fenced pasture. Territorial and mountain views complete the package.
Utility features include forced-air propane heat, a heat pump, wall-insert heat, radiant floor heat, two separate water heaters and wiring for a generator.
Other components are a security system, high-tech cabling, surround sound, central vacuum system, air conditioning and a private well and septic system.
The main living floor is comprised of formal living and dining rooms, a family room, kitchen with informal dining nook, a bedroom suite, utility room and two bathrooms. Upstairs are four additional bedrooms, a bonus room, rec room, craft room, second laundry room and two more bathrooms.
Flooring surfaces include ceramic tile, hardwood, slate and carpeting. Large rooms and soaring vaulted ceilings – some with skylights – create volume. Formal white millwork including wainscoting, chair railing, shadowboxing and crown molding are used throughout.
Other custom appointments include built-in bookcases and decorator niches, and two fireplaces – each trimmed with ceramic tile and formal wood surround with mantel.
Among the kitchen highlights are slab granite countertops, custom wood-paneled cabinets, an extended breakfast bar, ceramic tile, commercial grade stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry with frosted glass door.
A French door opens to the bedroom suite, which includes an extra-large bedroom, a log-burning fireplace and a private entrance to an adjacent study. The study has its own exterior entrance and can be accessed from the foyer.
The suite’s five-piece bathroom has radiant heat flooring, a two-person jetted soaker tub, oversized walk-in shower, and double vanity – all encased in custom tile.
The four remaining bedrooms are served by two bathrooms and the second laundry room,
