MODERN DAY COUNTRY LIVING

The living room is a cozy gathering place for relaxing and entertaining.

The dining room is convenient to the kitchen and its counter with bar stools in this house at 1512 Briarwood in Jackson. A hinged patio door provides easy access to the backyard.

If you like the country but don't want to be too far away from town, this Rosewood Estate home will suit you just fine. Located across from the new Jackson Middle School, you're only minutes away from the main business district.

The full front porch with its white railing looks as though it was made for those lazy evenings when family and friends gather to rest. Hang a swing at one end and you'll still have plenty of room for chairs.

The immaculate interior is just waiting for a new family. Enter from the porch into the large living room. Unbroken expanses of walls are a decorator's delight.

When kitchen duty calls, never fear. The open floor plan and oversized entry between the living room and dining area keeps everyone together. Family gatherings won't be a problem in the large kitchen/dining room. Let the kids eat at the counter while the adults gather round the table or just use the counter as a serving bar. Light cabinets brighten the area.

Two special treats in the kitchen are the soffit above the cabinets where favorite collections can be displayed and a unique built-in cabinet/display area along one wall. Two glass door cabinets, bookshelves and storage cabinets with rolled doors sit atop lower cabinets. A floor-to-ceiling pantry completes the unit.

A half bath and laundry room are located on either side of a short hall that leads from the kitchen to the attached two-car garage.

Country living comes to life when you step through the French doors leading from the dining area to the back patio. Watch the cattle graze in a nearby field or take in the beauty of winter wheat just reaching its full color.

The master bedroom is located off the dining room. Large windows let in plenty of light. A ceiling fan helps the high efficiency furnace heat and cools the area. Double sinks, a Jacuzzi tub and separate shower create a master bath both functional and eye-pleasing.

At the top of the stairs leading from the living room you'll find a relaxing sitting/study area. Kids will find the space perfect for entertaining their friends.

Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are also located in the upper level of this one-and-a-half story house. Dormer windows in the bedrooms overlook the front yard. Large closets in each bedroom supply plenty of storage space.

Finding a house that's ready to move into is a treat. But if you like to do things your own way, this house still has something to offer. The unfinished full basement is just waiting for someone to put their ideas into place and create another living space. Stairs lead from the dining room to the basement. Another set of stairs will take you from the basement to the garage.
