DETAILS ON THE HOME
The Hampton Manor is built by Bel Arbor Builders and features a unique floor plan and architecture. The stone and cedar shake exterior of this new home is reminiscent of a New England manor. This never-before built four bedroom, four and a half bath home has over 4,200 square feet of inside living space, with an additional 1,100 square feet of finished outdoor space that includes two screened-in porches and a front entry courtyard. The home features smart components including a catering kitchen.
Stone details and wooden beam work in the ceilings help to bring the outdoors in with an array of finishes typically found only on the exterior. Extensive windows and multiple access points to the outdoor spaces also contribute to a flow from outside to indoors. Once inside, the space is open and flowing with a grand spiral staircase to greet you in the two-story foyer. The front courtyard, study, dining room, and family room are immediately visible when you enter the home. The entertaining kitchen with center island and eat-in kitchen feature coffered ceilings and a gridded beam treatment. Both are open to the family room and screened-in downstairs porch as well as overlook a fireplace and built-in cabinetry. The master suite is located off of the family room and features expanded living space with bayed windows, his and her closets, double vanity, and spacious shower. A second first-floor bedroom, complete with full bath and walk-in closet is located on the opposite side of the home.
Upstairs there are two additional bedrooms with full baths and walk-in closets. There is also an expansive game room that leads to a second screened-in porch that is perfect for sleeping outdoors.
