Surrounded by space

With the cost of building a house ever increasing, it's important to make the most use of space in a house. The house at 1334 Wedgewood in Jackson is a good example of a fine home built with a consciousness of space.

This brick and vinyl home actually has four levels, but it has been built with a split-level concept to make the most of space. It has all the important aspects of a high-end home, including four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a three-car garage, but is priced at just $229,900.

It also has a number of nice touches, including a frosted glass entryway door with sidelights, ceramic tile flooring and plush carpeting throughout the living spaces, and a vaulted ceiling in the living room with modern track and spot lighting.

The home has been done in all light colors, maximizing the illusion of space. The formal dining area features a modern chandelier and two large windows that overlook the property's wooded back yard.

One of the home's most attractive features is its kitchen. It is large and well-organized with warm, oak cabinetry, ceramic tile floors, a classic paisley wall covering and matching window treatments.

The eat-in kitchen is actually large enough to accommodate a full-sized dining table and chairs. A door from the eat-in kitchen leads to a screened-in/glassed-in back porch, which is not only a wonderful place for warm weather dining, but an excellent place for storing plants in winter.

The first level down in the house features a large family room with a brick wood-burning fireplace. A door leads to a small patio to the side of the house. Also on that downstairs level is another bedroom with large, mirrored sliding closet doors, expanding both the light and space of the room as well as providing clothing storage. A nearby bathroom makes the rooms perfect as a guest suite area.

In the lowest level of the home is an office, which rivals the finest lawyer's or banker's offices, with custom-made cherry-stained paneling. Also on that level is an unfinished area, which serves as storage space and a laundry room.

On the upper floor of the home are three bedrooms, each featuring mirrored closet doors and ample light and space. The master bedroom is large enough to include a sitting area, and also offers three mirrored closets. The master bathroom includes a double sink vanity with an attractive green marble-look laminate countertop, as well as a standard tub/shower and toilet area.

The outside of this home features a patio area on the oversized driveway, and attractive views all around.

This home is offered for viewing through Re/Max Realty One, 335-8565.
