ROOMS WITH A VIEW

The great room of this house at 4217 County Road 620 north of Cape Girardeau features a beamed, vaulted ceiling with a bay window near the dining room.

This brick ranch house at 4217 County Road 620 offers a panoramic view of the countryside.

Regardless of where you are on the main level of this hilltop home, the view of the surrounding area is breathtaking.

A decorative concrete and brick walk leads from the drive to the covered front porch and main entrance.

Light from the decorative leaded glass of the front door and glass panels on either side reflects on the parquet flooring of the main entrance. Creating its own special pattern is the stained glass window high on the dividing wall between the entrance and great room.

Enjoy the view from inside while gazing out the front bow window of the great room. Vaulted ceilings with wooden beams and a large fireplace add to the grandeur of the room.

Dining will be a pleasurable event given the fantastic view from the dining room. A corner window will allow diners to take in the beauty of this two plus acre estate.

Custom oak cabinets and wood flooring give the kitchen a down-home country feel. Use the display shelf over the sink to create seasonal displays or to show off kitchen "treasures." A built-in desk provides the perfect spot to store counter-clutter.

Just a step down from the kitchen will take you to the walk-in pantry. There's plenty of room for storing extra groceries, baking pans and electrical appliances. Sneak those gifts you need to hide in the pantry as you enter the house from the two-car garage. The laundry room is conveniently nearby as well.

If your green thumb hasn't been working lately, maybe you just haven't had the right spot for your plants. An unusual alcove with glass wall at the end of the breakfast nook will give your plants all the light they need.

French doors lead from the breakfast area to the rear deck and patio. Little ones and pets will play safely in the fenced-in back yard.

Guests will enjoy the convenience of the half bath just off the great room. Wooden doors with decorative glass inserts enclose the linen closet at the end of the short hall to the master suite.

Wake up in the morning and get up close and personal with nature. Another corner window in the master bedroom combined with the gently sloping landscape makes you feel like you've climbed into the large tree just outside the window. His and hers closets offer ample room for hanging clothes plus built-in shelves for folded articles. The master bath sports both a shower and Jacuzzi tub. The long counter with double sinks will give everyone room for their belongings.

Two additional bedrooms and a full bath with oversized shower are located in the lower level. Several storage areas plus a large family/game room with walk-out convenience turn the basement into another living level. A brick wall with a flu already is ready for you to add a wood burning stove or free standing fireplace.
