A stunning contemporary ranch-style home, aptly named for its abundant natural light. Everywhere you go in this home, you are greeted by silvery light streaming through the lavishly glassed banks of multi-paned windows. Outside, the sunbeams dance across the glass, creating a shimmering effect that enhances the home’s aesthetic appeal. Opting for a wide lot with a scenic vista at the rear would maximize these breathtaking views and elevate your living experience.
The most impressive display of natural illumination is found in the vaulted hexagonal great room. Here, two banks of glass fill most of the three rear walls, creating an indoor space that feels as if it is part of the outdoor environment. In the center section, twin sets of French doors open onto a wide deck that wraps around the entire back of the house. This seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces is perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the natural surroundings. On the left and right walls, the lower sections of the windows are almost as tall as the doors, but are accented with stone veneer wainscoting. Wide transom windows crown all the rear windows and doors, enhancing the flow of natural light.
Entering the home through the arched entryway, you cross a transverse hallway and are immediately greeted by an art niche that offers a perfect spot to display family treasures. This thoughtful detail sets the tone for the home’s blend of elegance and comfort. Stepping into the great room, you are enveloped by the light and the stunning views that characterize this space.
To the left of the hallway, you’ll find the utility room and the owners’ suite. The owners' suite is a private sanctuary that includes a walk-in shower, soaking tub, dual vanity, and direct access to the deck. This private access to the outdoor space allows for peaceful morning coffees or a serene spot for stargazing at night. Heading to the right from the hallway, you pass an opening to the kitchen, which serves as the heart of the home. Beyond the kitchen are the secondary bedrooms, the basement stairs, and a two-car garage, providing convenient access and functionality.
Its kitchen is designed for both efficiency and sociability. A pony wall provides a sense of openness while still delineating the space from the great room. The range is strategically placed so that cooks can keep an eye on the entire area, making it easy to engage with guests or family members while preparing meals. The sink and dishwasher are situated along a peninsular counter that is rimmed by an eating bar, perfect for casual dining or a quick snack.
Bedrooms two and three are well-appointed and share an interestingly angled bathroom that adds a unique architectural element to the home. This design ensures that each bedroom has its own distinct character while maintaining a cohesive overall aesthetic.
The home is designed to embrace and celebrate natural light, offering a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces. Its contemporary ranch-style design, combined with thoughtful architectural details, makes it an ideal choice for those who appreciate both beauty and functionality in a home plan. Whether you're hosting gatherings, enjoying a quiet evening, or simply soaking in the views, the Silvercrest provides a serene and elegant living environment.
