Tri-level home in Jackson's Annwood Estates maximizes space

The home at 3522 Dana in Jackson's Annwood Estates is a pleasant brick-and-vinyl tri-level home with a two-car garage. Its sage-green shutters and large, welcoming front porch give it an immediate feeling of home. Spring perennials add splashes of color to a level and easily maintained yard.

Yet the real attraction of this house is its effective floor plan, maximizing space and style.

The foyer features beige ceramic-tile flooring. Immediately to the right is the formal living room, continuing the neutral color theme with beige plush carpeting and light walls. A large picture window overlooks the front yard and welcomes natural light into the home.

The kitchen also has a beige tile floor, warm oak cabinets and an abundance of counter space for meal preparation. Light eggshell countertops create decorating ease, opening the room to any kitchen decor. A double stainless-steel sink with a window above it creates an inviting atmosphere, and appliances include a black smooth-top range and cabinetry designed to hold a microwave. A stainless-steel refrigerator adds a modern note to the room. A pleasant eat-in dining area adjoins the kitchen, with patio doors exiting to a private patio with an attractive white fence surrounding it. The large back yard is fenced, creating a perfect space for children or pets.

Down a level is the family room, with a classic red brick fireplace that takes up an entire wall as its focal point. Also downstairs is a laundry room/toilet room area and an office. Patio doors exit to the side yard.

The home's three bedrooms are on the upper floor. All feature easy-to-decorate neutral colors, large windows, ceiling fans and closets.
