img_4131.jpgCasual sophistication is what you will find in this state of the art custom home on the 7th hole in Four Bridges Golf Course Community. This home was designed with a casual lifestyle in mind. Weather you work from home, are an avid or aspiring golfer, if you love to entertain, or you enjoy quiet evenings sipping wine from your wine cellar under the covered porch, this is the private retreat for you!

Living on the 7th hole of the Four Bridges golf course, this home takes full advantage of every fairway and lake view possible. This vaulted Living Room has a scenic view through the walk out covered porch. In the winter, enjoy the 20 foot stone gas fireplace with a remote start. The warm neutral woods, textures and colors in this retreat allow a peaceful atmosphere to meet you at the door when you come home!

Entertaining in this home is simple with this state of the art gourmet kitchen. Weather you are preparing a feast or a quiet dinner for two overlooking the golf course, this kitchen is fully equipped for any need. Granite counter tops, wood cabinetry, and top of the line stainless steel appliances including an ice maker, warming drawer, dishwashing drawers and a beverage and wine cooler, this is the kitchen you always dreamed of having. Just off of the kitchen is a great vaulted sun room perfect for a sitting room, office or family room, whatever your lifestyle calls for!

You will find everything you need in this master suite located on the first floor over looking the golf course. Inside you will find a bay window sitting area, neutral decor with custom window treatments, a large flat screen TV, the sound system, security system, as well as the master bath, with custom closets, tile floors, a whirlpool tub, private shower, and a double vanity, and another small flat screen television for your morning television.

Lush neutral carpeting and walls, a vaulted ceiling with recessed lighting, beautiful wood window treatments, and wainscoting allow for the visual beauty. Any state of the art home needs plenty of technology as well, and here you will also find a wireless and a land internet connection, with a hub inside this private study. The spacious study has plenty of room for a large sitting area inside the front bay, as well as all of the items for a working office or library.

Where to begin in this haven of an entertainment room! A large cherry wood bar with all the necessary entertaining amenities like a dish washer, ice maker and beverage cooler. Then you can visit your very own wine cellar and choose a bottle from a handsome inventory for your viewing of the latest HD shows this season! The media system is located in the stack in this media room’s wall and will be left for your enjoyment. The billiards area is just behind the viewing couch, and ready for your table. This lower level also has two bedrooms and two full bathrooms with walk in closets.

Imagine sitting for hours on your covered deck, with the fan on, music in the back ground while you smoke your cigar and sip wine after a long day at work. How nice it would be to read the Sunday paper with a cup of coffee while listening to the golfers across the lake plan their strategy for a hole in one down the fairway. This is your life; this should be your home, casual and custom. Live in Four Bridges and golf at the course every day, play tennis or basketball, work out in the sports complex, or just enjoy drinks and dinner at the club for a night out.

img_4546.JPGWelcome home to this beautiful home at 1312 Cryer Avenue nestled between Hyde Park and Mt. Lookout square. This home is solid and has been cared for meticulously by its current and past owners. The home has several wonderful updates and upgrades. In 2003, the New Kitchen and 3 new bathrooms were put in, along with the rear deck. In 2005 the new AC and Furnace was added providing great efficiency with $256 even billing. In 2006, a total tear off was done to the roof, including new under layment, dimensional single, gutters and downspouts. In 2007 the hardwood floors were refinished on the first floor and the front landscaping was added. These improvements and upgrades make this home absolutely ready to move into tomorrow!

Step inside this adorable home to find gleaming picture frame hardwood floors, thick crown molding, fresh neutral paint and a bright and open floor plan. The living room has a gas Rookwood tile fireplace that makes evenings cozy. Just off of the Living room is a perfect size study, great for a computer, home office or a play room that can be simply closed off by two pocket doors. As with every room in the house, sunlight beams in through every window. The first floor also has a new half bath, with pedestal sink, nickel fixtures and ceramic tile floors. Inside the Living Room there is a rare coat closet for your and your guest’s coats.

The kitchen is beautiful, light, open and clean. This room has great space; with a three person eat in counter bar, new beautiful maple wood cabinets with nickel hardware. The kitchen cooking area creates the perfect triangle, and the sink is positioned perfectly to look out the huge sliding doors to the rear yard. Ideal for entertaining, this home is open and inviting. The kitchen has a large pantry, as well as ample storage in the cabinets. There are several seeded glass front cabinets, and ceramic tile on the floors, with recessed lighting above. You really have to see the kitchen to get a feel for the space and atmosphere.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and one full bathroom. The master bedroom is very large, measuring 16×11, providing extra room even with a King size bed inside. The master closet is 14×3 with hanging and shelves, a light and window! Hardwoods abound on the second floor as well, in each of the three bedrooms each in a picture frame design. Each bedroom has a generous closet and the hallway has a wonderful step in linen closet for luggage, towels, storage anything you can think of!

The full bathroom on the second floor is larger than most in a home this age. The bathroom has tile floor and subway tile surround, bright white and clean.

Another large unfinished room is located in the lower level and can be finished or continue to be used as storage or a work out room.

The yard is level and entirely fenced in. This is a great deck for entertaining and yard for children or doggies. The home is ideally placed between the desirable Hyde Park and Mt. Lookout squares where you can walk to ice cream, coffee, restaurants, drug stores, deli’s like Carl’s Deli, art galleries, wine shops, salons, you name it. The street of Cryer is not a major road in this part of town, and is very quiet and private all day long. A wonderful front porch and a gas light lamp are found in the front of the home.
