CREATIVE ARCHITECTURE

The marble angled fireplace accents the doubled great room in this home that was designed by a Dallas architect at 1566 Saratoga in Cape Girardeau.

The front spare bedroom boasts a cathedral ceiling and an arched window which faces south.

With the help of a Dallas architect, a slightly Southwestern flair is evident in this Northfield subdivision home. Pottery, a swing and fresh flowers will find themselves at home on the patio/sitting area at the end of the drive. Large trees shade the front of the home as well as the patio.

Follow a graceful curved walk to the energy efficient recessed front door with an etched glass insert. Inside you'll find the perfect gathering place. An eye catching stair stepped fireplace is open on three sides serves as a divider between the family and living room areas.

The family room can be a comfortable place to gather and watch the big game and a Super Bowl party would be well-served by the convenient wet bar with its deep blue ceramic tile counter. Parquet flooring covers the family room and continues into the living area. Large windows in the living room side overlook the back deck and yard while a doorway provides easy access to the area.

Enter the functional kitchen from either the family room or living room. An abundance of oak cabinets provide all the storage the chef will need. Roll out the cookie dough on the convenient angled work counter which separates the kitchen from the breakfast area.

Throw a load of clothes in the washer then enjoy the view of the back yard while savoring your morning cup of coffee in the breakfast room. Large bow windows bring in plenty of light for reading. Inside the conveniently placed laundry room is a large shelved pantry, just right for storing extra cans or oversized boxes of food and occassionally-used kitchen appliances.

The formal dining room is accessible from the kitchen or family room. Enjoy the view of the flower garden as you dine under the glow of the large chandelier over the table.

Crown molding draws your attention to the unusual ceiling design in the dining room as well as other ceilings throughout the house.

Guests will feel like royalty in the front guest bedroom with its vaulted ceiling and fan window. Mirrored sliding glass doors on the closet add to the spacious feel.

The guest bath with tub/shower combination divides the two smaller bedrooms. Mirrored doors on the hall closet create striking reflections of the angled walls.

Another creative ceiling design in the master bedroom gives the room its own uniqueness. Long, narrow windows let in plenty of light.

Keeping clothes separated won't be a problem with the two large walk in closets on either side of the tub in the master bath. A separate shower unit lets you relax in a tub full of bubbles while your partner grabs a quick shower to start the day.

The major portion of the basement area has been finished, but there's still space for you to lend your own creative touch. The area is well lit by recessed ceiling lights throughout the lower level.

Friends can gather for a quick game of pool in the L-shaped recreation area. There's plenty of room for a big screen television and comfortable chairs.

A bath with shower is just across the hall from another bedroom with a large walk-in closet.

Mirrored doors on a hall closet once again add a spacious touch to the area. There's more than enough storage space in the furnace room and the adjoining unfinished area.

Tile flooring leads to the stairs of the walk-up basement. A completely fenced back yard keeps unwanted creatures away while providing a safe play area for children.
