If you like to cook and friends and relatives keep gifting you kitchen appliances, this home has multiple pantries for storing it all — including the industrial size can of baked beans you got in the Yankee Gift swap.
This contemporary Colonial — which is less than a half mile to Edwards Beach on Nabnasset Lake — is the epitome of the style: white siding, white-framed windows, black gutters, white walls, recessed lighting, wood accents, and an open layout. Board-and-batten-like siding on much of the upper floor provides a pleasing visual break.
From the driveway, a paver walkway curves toward a wide, railing-less porch with dark wood columns. The matching front door constitutes three glass panels flanked by sidelights. Behind it is a foyer with a two-story-high ceiling and stairs to the bedroom level. Shuck your shoes and coat to the right in a mudroom with a built-in bench and cubbies. A door here opens to the single-bay garage.
A turn to the left off the foyer brings one into the open layout the living room and kitchen share. The living room, up first, offers a pair of double-hung windows on two walls. A gas fireplace insert low on a porcelain wall creates a comfy spot.
That porcelain forms the counter-to-ceiling backsplash in the kitchen, which has black crown molding, open shelving, white Shaker-style cabinets with black handles, and stainless steel appliances (the stove is gas). There’s a spot for a six-person dining table in front of a pair of French doors to the back deck and the in-ground pool on the 0.28-acre lot. For a quick nosh or to show off your julienning skills, the kitchen has an island with seating for six, sides of vertical wood slats, a black granite counter with a waterfall edge, and three bulbous bamboo pendant lights overhead.
On the other side of the dining area is the first of four full baths. This one comes with a single vanity, gold-toned faucets, porcelain flooring, a vessel sink, and a shower behind glass. The shower surround looks like wood but is actually porcelain.
A study with two pairs of double-hung windows completes this floor.
The central stairway, which has motion-sensor lights that activate with each step and iron balusters, sits under a large chandelier with lights that belong in a castle’s great hall. The first stop is a family room with gray cabinetry to match the home’s three-panel doors and a beverage refrigerator.
A modern gold-toned chandelier with candle-like bulbs and three arms descends from the vaulted ceiling in the primary suite. The 12-by-24 feet space also has three windows and a walk-in closet behind a barn door. The en-suite bath comes with an oval soaking tub, a double wood vanity with open shelving, quartz flooring, and a separate shower with multiple heads and a porcelain surround that mimics wood slats.
A laundry room with a sink and counter space separates the secondary bedrooms, which offer double closets and are both about 11.5 by 16 feet. They share a full bath with porcelain flooring, a double vanity with a quartz countertop, and a shower/tub combination.
The 984-square-foot basement is finished with recessed lighting, laminate flooring, and a full bath with a single vanity and a shower with porcelain flooring.
The home comes with central air and forced hot air gas heat.
