The foyer of this home features an open floor plan to allow easy access to any of the downstairs rooms.

Reminiscent of Colonial Williamsburg, this home built less than two years ago steps back in time with a thoroughly modern flair. Rich green trim accents the brick facade. Eyes are drawn to an unusual oval upper window.

The opening foyer ceiling extends to the upper level and provides a view of the main floor rooms. Green tile flooring in the entry makes clean-ups a breeze. Do you need an office, a sitting room, a music room or perhaps a study? French doors lead from the entry to a room that is sure to suit your needs.

An open floor plan is achieved by replacing a solid dividing wall with three corner columns. When used for dining or entertaining, guests will have added freedom to move about.

Light streams into the area from large double windows. An area of one wall has already been recessed, creating the perfect space for a hutch or buffet. Chair railing and deep wall treatments lend a historical touch.

The warmth of the home is emphasized in the kitchen with striking custom cherry cabinets. All units have roll-out shelves for ease in storage of pots, pans, canned goods and other necessities. Cabinets frame the range and microwave. A shelved pantry adds additional storage space. Keep important paperwork close at hand by taking advantage of the built-in desk. An open counter overlooks the breakfast area.

The back yard is fenced with wrought iron. Doors lead to a screened porch with stairs opening to the lower deck.

The color scheme and colonial theme continue throughout the house. Decorative green tile frame the family room gas log fireplace. The beauty of the fireplace is enhanced with a rich cherry mantle. Creating that special effect will be easier with the recessed lighting over the fireplace. Air is stirred with the help of the ceiling fan that hangs from the pitched ceiling.

Conveniently placed at one end of the house is the master suite. Crown molding and recessed corner lighting are only two of the extras of this great room. His and hers walk-in closets create plenty of storage space.

Hide Christmas and birthday gifts or store those extra blankets and pillows in the walk-in closet in the master bath. A separate linen closet in the bath is ready for daily use items. Relax in the corner Jacuzzi or make use of the separate shower. Green tile is once again used as a decorator touch, this time framing the Jacuzzi.

A laundry and powder room are located just off the kitchen. Added shelves and a separate laundry sink highlight this well lit room. Access to the garage is close by.

Let the kids take over the upper level. Three bedrooms and a full bath will handle even a large family. Each bedroom has its own large closet. A separate furnace for the upstairs helps provide uniform temperatures.

Enter the basement through unique double doors off the kitchen. The large open area sports a steel-beamed high ceiling. French doors lead to the lower covered patio. Divide the area to your liking and create the floor plan that works best for your family. The bath has already been roughed in with the commode in place.

Located just off Lexington, this home at 2516 Saddlegate Court home in Randol Farms subdivision can be yours for $315,000. Contact Classic Real Estate and take a tour of this fine home.
