SPACE & MORE SPACE

The wood-burning fireplace and large windows complement the comfortable living room at 2647 Nicole in Jackson, Mo.

This brick and vinyl ranch house in Annwood Estates has a few surprises to offer along the way. The well-kept exterior, with flowers and shrubs to greet guests, is only the beginning. Large living room windows invite the sunshine in. When evening comes, bask in the glow from the fire in the wood-burning fireplace.

You'll be able to sneak into the kitchen to make sure things are in order while guests are making their way to the dining room. Openings to both the kitchen and dining room from the living room are sure to please.

Chair railing, French doors to the deck and a decorative chandelier set the tone for the formal dining room. Cooking for family and guests will be a pleasure in this well-designed kitchen. Light pickled cabinets with deep green countertops offer a rich touch.

Two bedrooms and a bath are ready and waiting for little ones or guests. The same cabinet-counter design has been carried to the bath, giving unity to the house's design.

The master bedroom has an abundance of storage space. Heavy space-consuming blankets will find a home in the deep storage closet with shelves. Walk-in closets lead the way to the master bath with the same cabinet-counter plan.

You won't have to carry dirty clothes far. The laundry area is conveniently located at the end of the hallway.

Many people choose to finish the lower level of their home for added entertainment space. This remodeling job, however, has created another living level. Just add a microwave and small refrigerator and you've got the perfect living quarters for that teen that wants his or her "own space." Friends and family will enjoy gathering in front of the gas fireplace in the large downstairs family room. Enclosed by a custom-built mantle, the fireplace becomes the focal point of the room.

Someone was planning ahead when this area was finished. There are two large rooms that could serve as bedrooms, offices, exercise rooms or whatever else you need. Closets in the rooms extend the length of the walls offering 12 feet of storage. Shelves at the ends hold shoes, hats and other necessities. A large bath with tub-shower will suit needs well.

As if this wasn't enough, another large area hasn't been finished except for storage shelves. Even though here you'll find the furnace and water heater, there's still plenty of room to give the kids a great indoor play area.
