Relax & Enjoy the Quiet Den

From the outside, this home is all modern — Contemporary, to be precise, with elements of the beautiful Prairie style. Inside, you’ll find modern amenities combined with traditional spaces to give you and your family everything you could need. This home’s den, for instance, is a great place to relax and enjoy the quiet. Built-in shelving holds your favorite books, tempting you to settle in for a few hours so that you can read in peace. Similarly, the garage features a shop area so that you have a great space to work on hobbies. Perhaps you’ve always dreamed of taking up woodworking or a similar activity. This home gives you the opportunity to go for it. When it comes to day-to-day chores, the handy space just off the dining area, which contains the pantry and laundry room, will help to streamline your routine. The pantry keeps bulky kitchen gadgets, dry good and cleaning supplies within easy reach of the kitchen, while the laundry room gives you an out of the way place to sort, wash and fold laundry. Then there is the open living space. An L-shaped counter and island gives you all of the space you need to pile up dishes as you bake pies, cook the turkey and prepare all of the sides. Then, you’ll enjoy the feast with your family in the dining area, all the while admiring the woodsy landscape of your backyard. Before too long, everyone will be absolutely stuffed and the dishes will be cleared. Now it’s time to settle into the great room, wrapped up in blankets, enjoying the warmth of the fire as you and your kids watch TV. After a long day of celebration, you will be looking forward to the comforts of the master suite. Take a quick shower before bed or have a warm bath. Then settle in for the night and drift off to sleep as you watch the stars sparkling in the sky. If you hosted guests, you can give them a place to stay in the bonus room, which can easily be turned into a guest bedroom. Additionally, there are two other bedrooms for your children, one with a walk-in closet and shelving, the other with a closet behind sliding doors. These rooms are the places that your children will spend lazy summer afternoons, playing with toys. One day, when they are older, they’ll have fond memories of the games they played and the sleepovers they had in these bedrooms.
