Prairie-style home
custom
home - built in 2001

Unique, Frank Lloyd Wright inspired prairie design with many features and
upgrades.
Custom designed and built in 2001 as the builder's personal residence, this home takes
advantage
of a beautiful wooded lot - with private views framed from every window.
Utilizing both levels,
the design incorporates private spaces for both children and adults -
making
it ideal for
either a growing family or empty-nester couple.
The home features over 2100 square feet on the main level, with master suite, living,
family, dining,
kitchen, office and laundry room. An open stairway leads down to
the view-out lower level that features two
additional
bedrooms, a large family room,
exercise room, sewing room and workshop - adding an additional 1475 square
feet
for a total of over 3600 finished square feet.
Upgraded features include radiant floor heating throughout both levels of the home,
wood and
gas fireplaces, a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops & upgraded
appliances (Dacor, Jenn-Air, Bosch), mission style oak trim &
flooring, 3 panel doors,
custom made quartersawn white oak cabinets,
and black slate flooring.
Located on a private, heavily wooded 1.2 acre lot on the southside - within the
city limits.

Bodart & Gonay european fireplace with stone surround & slate hearth ... beautiful, high efficiency wood burning unit! Large living room with 10' ceiling, opens to foyer and dining room. Lots of light from the oversized casement windows with transoms - facing west for afternoon sun. Formal dining room with tray ceiling & indirect lighting. Beautiful, private view of the trees just outside. Built-in triangular china hutch in the dining room provides a wonderful display and storage area. The heart of the home is the kitchen, dinette and family room - all located in the back of the home overlooking the secluded wooded lot. An abundance of windows fill area with morning light. The large kitchen features two large windows - one over the sink and the other over the downdraft cooktop. Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances are highlighted by the beauty of white quartersawn oak cabinets with inset doors - custom made with loads of storage. Just off the foyer and kitchen, the message center is tucked into a great spot. With ample storage for bills, cookbooks, and other items, the granite desk is computer friendly with a keyboard tray and Internet wiring. With a direct view from the kitchen, the family room gets a cozy atmosphere with built-in columns, large windows and it's own fireplace. Wired for a home theater system, this area is all set for your HDTV set. The family room features a second fireplace - this one an upgraded FPX gas fireplace with a custom slate surround. A custom wood stairway takes center stage just off the foyer and next to the main level office. The interplay of the intricate railing with the warmth of the natural red oak is highlighted by the large window that floods the stairs with light. Looking back toward the foyer and living room, the details and craftsmanship become very apparent. The main level master suite features an incredible bath that's filled with light. With a large, two person Jacuzzi tub, custom tile shower and period style pedestal sinks, it's a great haven to help you recover from a hectic day. The glass block walls on either side of the tub allow light to softly filter into the shower and tub area. Additional linen and bath storage is found just off to the left by the door. The large rec room features three different areas that are carefully designed to flow together. The main room is all set for the pool table, while the computer niche and television areas provide space for more private use. The cork flooring provides a comfortable, durable surface over the radiant in-floor heat. Using every inch of space, the low ceiling under the stairway landing becomes a great hideaway for kids. With it's own light and window, it quickly becomes the first place to head! The lower level bedrooms are both oversized and feature large closets and built-in storage chests. The large windows provide lots of light, while the radiant in-floor heat and separate thermostats make the space incredibly comfortable. The third bedroom takes advantage of the chimney above to carve out a great built-in spot for a fish tank or TV. The large exercise room features two large windows for cross ventilation, ample lighting, easy maintenance stained floors, and a separate thermostat for the in-floor heat. Your own personal gym! Main Level floor plan, as custom designed by Artisan Home Builders. Lower Level floor plan with additional bedrooms, rec room, exercise room, full bath and storage.
