A HOUSE ON THE HILL

A weather vane atop the roof of the home gives a informal, countryside feel to the property.

The large, fully equipped kitchen connects to the dining area and deck. An island in the center contains the range, saving steps when preparing a big meal.

Built in 1993, this home sits on a wooded, hilltop lot. The house, located at 1082 Trail Ridge in Jackson, has a walkout basement at the rear.

Enjoy the view of the neighborhood from the hilltop location of this Trailridge home. Listen to the birds and watch the wildlife play from the privacy of one of the two decks which overlook this half acre wooded lot.

Greet your guests at the back door and climb the trio of semi-circular steps which lead from the circular drive to the kitchen. Enter the spacious, well lit area and prepare to be enthralled.

Breakfast will never be the same once you've eaten in the gazebo breakfast room adjacent to the kitchen. The walls and pitched ceiling are paneled with light pine. Windows on each of the eight sides allow plenty of morning light while giving an unobstructed view of the garden. Tile flooring makes for easy clean-up.

The gazebo opens into the spacious combination kitchen and dining room. Pantry cabinets with sliding drawers provide easy access to all those cooking necessities. Two full walls of cabinets with counter space should give any cook plenty of room for the latest in kitchen gadgetry.

Prepare meals with ease at the cooking island with JennAire range. Don't worry about those marks hot pans make on counter tops. A built in counter protector will keep everything shinning like new.

Pull your favorite chair up to the double-tiered eating counter or gather the family around the dining room table in this open setting. French doors offer access to the rear deck.

Plenty of light streams in through the skylight and additional windows in the kitchen and dining area. The garage and half-bath are accessible from the kitchen.

Just a few steps away is the laundry area. All the necessities stay hidden behind swinging cafe doors. Everyone will be able to drop off their laundry at this easily accessible room located on a short hallway between the kitchen and bedrooms.

A full bath with storage galore is also located on this hallway. Floor to ceiling cabinets with sliding drawers and deep shelves give plenty of space for linens and those money-saving large quantity purchases. A guest bedroom is conveniently located across from the bath.

The master bedroom and third bedroom exit from the T at the end of the hall. Curl up on the sofa and read your favorite book. There's plenty of room in the master bedroom for a complete bedroom suit plus other favorite pieces. French doors open onto the private deck.

Natural light streams into the master bath through the skylight. There's plenty of room for two at the double vanity. A shower chair would fit comfortably in the oversized shower.

Mirrored closet doors in all three bedrooms add depth to the already spacious areas.

The owner of this custom built home truly enjoys the outdoors. Well placed windows throughout the house offer excellent views of the private wooded yard.

Another skylight in the vaulted ceiling of the living room helps bring Mother Nature inside. Unusual architectural angles create the perfect setting for a fantastic floor to ceiling brick fireplace.

Oak railing surrounds the stairway leading to the semi-finished basement. Once again the owner thought ahead and planned for a second washer/dryer location. A deep recessed area along one wall is already plumbed and wired.

A free standing footed bathtub looks right at home in the downstairs full bath. The large mirror over the vanity makes grooming a breeze. Ample storage space is available for all those necessities.

Plenty of windows and the door to the lower patio offer additional views of this secluded setting.

Create your own living area around the massive lower level fireplace. An attached wood stove helps cut heating costs.

A second recessed area could serve as a study or workroom. If you're a craft enthusiast or handyman, there's more than enough space to store your materials while creating all those wonderful uniquely-you works of art.

The maintenance-free all-brick exterior of this five year old home will delight any homeowner.
