BREATHTAKING VIEW

The lattice-enclosed swing on the back patio offers a private area with a great view of nearby woods.

The spacious, eat-in kitchen boasts lots of oak cabinets for plenty of storage area.

Large rooms, a well-thought out floor plan plus a fantastic view will put this Carolewood home at the top of your want list. From the front porch of the home's hilltop location, enjoy a breathtaking unobstructed view of the countryside.

Woods frame the area around the secluded rear patio, which offers yet another fantastic view. Whether it's a warm summer day or a bright winter morning, the lattice encased swing provides a peaceful retreat.

Plush carpeting that's nearly white adds a touch of elegance as you enter the formal living room from the parquet floored entry. A double set of windows lets you enjoy the view of the countryside from the comfort of your favorite chair. Pass through the living room into a spacious formal dining room. That wonderful collection of china can be artfully displayed behind the glass doors of the upper cabinets of the built in hutch. You can tuck linens and accessory pieces in the lower cabinets. The area between would be perfect for special pieces of silver or that favorite candy dish.

Everyone will feel right at home in the large eat-in kitchen. Cabinets, cabinets and more cabinets of rich oak provide an abundance of storage. That collection of cookie jars, baskets or perhaps vases can be left on display for all to enjoy by utilizing the area between the upper cabinets and the ceiling.

A spacesaver microwave helps to free even more counter space. Double doors open to large spacious pantry shelves, roomy enough to hold all those two-for-one specials and other great buys.

French doors in the kitchen open onto the rear concrete patio. In addition to the peaceful wooded setting, the patio is perfect for barbecues and entertaining guests. Sliding doors from the patio to the family room make short work of carrying in wood for the fireplace.

A step down from the kitchen takes you to an entry area from the garage as well as from the back of the house. The convenient half-bath stands ready for quick clean-ups after yard work.

Everyone will want to gather around the family room's fireplace on chilly evenings. The room completes the circular pattern beginning in the entry and traveling from the living room to dining room and on to the kitchen and family room.

You can store linens in the closet located in the hall to the bedroom area. Guests will enjoy the exciting view of the countryside from the windows in the front guest bedroom.

A tub/shower combination and additional closet space are added features of the hall bath with its vanity and large mirror.

If you don't need the bedroom space, the front corner bedroom would make a great sitting area. Light streams in from both the front and side windows creating a soft cozy atmosphere.

The master bedroom with its full bath has more closet space than most will need. The single closet would be a great place to store blankets or hide those early purchased Christmas presents. Two large walk-in closets easily keep "His" and "Her" clothes separate.

Possibilities abound in the semi-finished full basement. Shelving is already in place making it easy to turn one section into office space. If your children have lots of games, this would be the perfect place to store them.

With paneled walls and carpeting already installed, this area is ready for whatever you want to make of it.

The remainder of the basement can be finished to your liking. Section off the furnace area and there's still plenty of living space. The lower level has already been plumbed for a bath.

Regardless of whether you have a large family, just like to entertain or prefer the hilltop seclusion, this brick ranch at 1314 Kenwood Drive can fulfill your needs. Call Capitol Hill Realty today to set up a showing of this $187,000 masterpiece.
