Lavish luxury

Sitting elegantly at 2114 Yorktown on a quiet cul-de-sac is a house that offers much in the way of little luxuries.

A winding path artfully leads past a decorative outdoor lamp that could be from another century. The first thing you notice upon entering the home is the sunken living room and large brick fireplace. Then the many intricate details of this house emerge -- oak crown moldings, an oak banister leading downstairs and around the sunken living room area, a roomy kitchen complete with well-organized cabinetry and drawers, and a sunny breakfast nook.

Among the other many amenities are a formal dining room, Pella windows with in-laid blinds, a lighted desk in the kitchen area, a main-level laundry room complete with a drip-dry bar and handy shelving for laundry products.

This home is as efficient as it is beautiful. The fireplace is vented throughout the house to provide the warmth of the fireplace along with being an all-electric home.

The master bedroom is another treat -- large, luxurious, and with a sunken garden tub to soothe away the day's worries. The master suite also has its own entrance to the deck, for that morning cup of coffee or the enjoyment of a starry night before bedtime. A large, well-organized walk-in closet is yet another luxury, along with the bedroom's own bathroom complete with a shower with a built-in seat.

The home also has three other bedrooms, all generous in their size. One of the bedrooms even has double closets, for either his/her clothing storage, or easy storage of winter/summer clothes. All of the bedrooms have lighted ceiling fans that provide for efficient cooling and heating.

Another guest bathroom contains an easy-to-clean one-piece shower/tub unit along with generous cabinet space.

Downstairs offers a lower family room complete with its own wet bar that is great for weekend entertaining. It has its own refrigerator, garbage disposal, wine rack, and plenty of storage space for snacks and drinks.

A downstairs bedroom is roomy enough for a king-sized bed or could be used as home office space.

The downstairs also contains a large amount of unfinished space that can either be used as storage area, or easily converted into yet more living space. It already contains a workbench and has stud walls in place for further finishing.

Outside is a patio under the deck, and a nice yard that offers many creative landscaping possibilities. The backyard is even large enough to house a pool. The roomy deck provides plenty of room for outdoor dining and entertaining, as well as a beautiful view of the valley below.

A side-entry garage on this picturesque corner lot in the Alma Schrader School district adds even more to both the convenience and luxury of this home. This home has approximately 3,600 square feet of finished space, and 1,100 square feet of unfinished space. It can be seen by appointment by calling 651-1934, or by contacting ERA Cape Realty. It is priced at $274,900.
