ROOM FOR FUN

1141 Broadridge in Jackson has plenty of room for entertaining inside and out.

Invite the neighbors over and set up the volleyball net, let the kids schedule soccer practice at your house, round up some buddies for a game of touch football. Just where are you supposed to do all this? The well-manicured, oversized level lot of this Jackson subdivision home has room for a variety of outdoor activities.

There's plenty of room inside the traditional two-story brick and vinyl home as well. A formal living room with picture window and formal dining room sit on either side of the formal entry. Wooden flooring in the entry continues in the hall to the family room. Built-in shelving in the family room frames the fireplace. The room will stay neat and tidy with plenty of room for a television, videos, books, photos and whatever else you'd like to display. Exit from the family room to the rear deck.

Cabinet space won't be a problem in the large eat-in kitchen. There's plenty of room to gather the family to sample your newest "culinary creation," and the family room is close enough for them to dash back in to catch a favorite television flick. A half-bath for quick cleanups make this area one the entire family will enjoy. A large pantry and laundry area close at hand will even please Mom.

An open stairway with oak railing leads from the entry to the upper level living area. Mother Nature helps illuminate the stairwell through the skylight in the slanted ceiling. Students working on projects, Dad with his work from the office or Mom organizing the family correspondence will put the computer area on the upper landing to good use. A built-in desk with book case built above is ready for a computer with space left over for additional storage. The convenience of separate heating and cooling units for the main and upper levels is just another of a number of amenities this home has to offer.

It won't take long for the kids to lay claim to their favorite of the two large upstairs bedrooms. Ample closet space and plenty of windows make the rooms appealing and functional.

View the neighborhood from the double windows in the master suite.

Enjoy your bath while watching the stars through the skylight in the master bath.

A growing family always needs more room and this house has more to offer. Although the basement hasn't been finished, another fireplace in the lower level has put the area off to a good start. Close in the walls to create a game room, additional bedrooms or a spot for the kids to just "get away." Store your game gear in the basement without making a mess getting there. Stairs from the garage lead into the basement. There won't be any complaining about muddy shoes tracking up the main floor area.
