Located in the Historic Whitland neighborhood, this home holds an elegant and contemporary design you are sure to love.

The two-story living space, often favored by those who appreciate architectural drama and natural light, introduces you to the home’s airy interiors. Described by Lydia as “elegant, contemporary and sophisticated,” the home boasts high-end details through its entire 4,249 square feet, including custom Pella windows and custom cabinetry. “The moment you walk in, you can feel how open the floor plan is and how light permeates your surroundings,” she continues. Rich, hardwood flooring lends contrast to the neutral color palette — two design details that continue from the entry and living space throughout the main floor, into the kitchen and den.

Large windows, with custom framing and woodwork, let in natural light while providing views of the home’s front yard.

Made cozy by a brick fireplace, the den also features a two-story ceiling and clear views of the outdoors. Outdoor living opportunities are abundant, and the porch and patio are favored places within the home. The comfortable indoor living space opens to a formal dining area adjacent to the kitchen, where recent renovations, minimalist design, white countertops and contemporary finishes provide an ideal place to both prepare meals and mingle with loved ones. “The kitchen is a chef’s delight and an entertainer’s dream,” Lydia remarks. The open and functional kitchen is a gathering place, thanks in part to the eat-in counter. A desk and work area provide the perfect place to cross things off your to-do list or help your kids with homework.

A refreshing departure from the ever-common wide-open concepts of today, the kitchen peeks into the living space through a wide opening above a bar. The areas work together, while still maintaining their individuality — and the ability to have a few dirty dishes in the sink without your guests spotting them.

The master suite is located on the main level, while three additional bedrooms on the second level complete this family home.
