Outdoor amenities: Backyard overlooks Bent Creek Golf Course and lake

Set on three-quarters of an acre, this five-bedroom brick home includes a 20-by-40-foot heated in-ground pool with automatic cover plus a separate 9-by-9-foot children's pool. A nearby playground defined by landscape timbers and gravel adds to the appeal for potential homeowners with families.

With well-established landscaping, pavestone pool deck with fencing, wood deck off the kitchen and alternate living space on the lower level, staying home never looked so good.

Arched windows, dormers and a path from the driveway are homey touches that add to curbside appeal.

The front dining room and hallway shine with lustrous wood flooring. A medallion sets off the chandelier in the dining room and faux-finished walls add a special touch. A nearby office is carpeted.

A two-car garage and large utility room with shelving and a window are accessed from the hall.

New granite countertops in the kitchen coordinate nicely with ceramic floor and maple cabinets. The counter has seating for five and a breakfast nook within the kitchen will accommodate families with guests. The nearby deck offers another spot to hold gatherings.

The great room has a cathedral ceiling that adds dimension to the already spacious area. A gas fireplace will draw people together. Shelving and cabinets will hold all favorite games and books. The window bank on the back wall includes a door that opens to the deck. The room is enhanced by plenty of light and a beautiful view.

The split bedroom plan includes two upstairs bedrooms with full bath, a master bedroom on the main level and two lower-level bedrooms. The open staircase to the upper level, carpeted down the middle, gives a grand impression.

The master bedroom has an adjoining bath complete with L-shaped walk-in closet and double closet.

The master bath includes a Jacuzzi bordered in ceramic, a double vanity, a shower with seat, private commode and double vanity.

Two parallel 40-gallon hot water heaters mean that no one will be surprised with a cold shower.

The spacious lower-level family room gives a clear view of the pool and a nearby recreation room divides the space. Two full bedrooms that overlook the pool plus a full bath complete the lower-level package. The lake and golf course are within view as well.

A third garage has double doors for easy storage of lawn equipment, bicycles.

Combined with separate L-shaped storage on the lower level, these are attractive assets.
