Window window everywhere

Four bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths on more than an acre allows plenty of room for a growing family. The home is in the Jackson School District with easy access to Interstate 55.

A wraparound front porch with vinyl railing and brick floor is offset by a full circular driveway. A second-story arched window with paned panels is repeated on the reverse side.

The foyer features gleaming hardwood flooring. Recently refinished, the flooring is just one of the home's improvements. Others include brand-name kitchen appliances including a Jenn Air oven/stove; new plumbing fixtures in the main-level bathrooms and kitchen, furnace, asphalt shingle roof and downspouts for gutters.

The foyer opens into the living room. The room has a vaulted ceiling with arched design and a full view of the loft area. A wood-burning fireplace in this room adds a homey touch. There is access to the outdoor deck, where lack of railing allows an undisturbed view of the backyard with a grassy area and backdrop of tall trees.

French doors lead from the living room to a sunroom with skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows.

French doors at the front of the home lead to the 15-by-12-foot dining room, which is connected to the kitchen. A bay window and two floor-to-ceiling windows add to the ambience.

A large three-panel window above the kitchen sink enlarges the already spacious room. Ceramic counters and flooring are easy to maintain. Seating is available at the counter or at the nearby breakfast nook.

There is a lovely view of the backyard from another bay window in the breakfast nook. The kitchen also includes a desk with cubby holes above and glass-paned cabinets for dishes.

Steps from the breakfast nook is a half-bath with pedestal sink. Across the hall is a wall of oak cabinets for all types of storage. At the end of the hall is the utility room with full counter, sink with three-panel window above and plenty of cabinets. A window seat with cabinet storage below is handy for moms with children helping out on laundry day.

The two-car garage has pull-down storage and access to the lower level.

The main-level master bedroom has an adjoining bathroom and walk-in closet. In the bathroom, an oversized Jacuzzi is under a bay window. A wood cabinet encloses the Jacuzzi. The glass-enclosed shower is new.

Upstairs is a spacious loft area, a split-bedroom layout with a mother-in-law suite on one side and two bedrooms divided by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom on the other.

The mother-in-law suite has a walk-in closet and an adjoining bathroom with a large vanity and oak cabinets.

Carpeted stairs lead to the lower level where a 36-by-28-foot family room is accented by a black ceiling with recessed lighting, creating the perfect game room atmosphere.

Also on the lower level is a room that could be used as an office, bedroom or craft room. It has a custom counter/desk area, an adjoining bathroom and workout room.

The storage room on this level has access to the garage, handy for many projects.
