The Evergreen evokes that same feeling you might have after a wedding reception. You’re all dressed up, still looking nice, but so glad to be home where you can kick off your shoes and sit back and relax. With plenty of areas to do just that within its 4,511 square feet, The Evergreen is a celebration all on its own, where it’s no doubt that ties will be shed and refreshments will be served for many years to come.
Billy Doelker’s thoughtfully designed 1.5 story walk-out home includes 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths and a three-car garage. The Evergreen is energy efficient to benefit the homeowners as well as the environment. Key Homes has partnered with Energy Pros to ensure it meets the standards of Energy Star’s highest rated level. Maintenance-free cedar shake siding, red brick, beige siding and brown and beige stone add dimension and texture as well as a traditional element to the exterior design. The covered front porch features arched brickwork and an oversized front door that anchors glass side lights under an elliptical transom. Beautiful landscaping continues around back, where the home features many incredible windows that give hints of the gorgeous interior within.
Oak hardwood floors greet guests in the foyer where columns and crown molding lend creative architectural details. A custom decorative lighting fixture beckons front porch visitors to take a closer look inside. French doors announce the study, which is accented by stained trim and a large window. Guests will be sure to keep their forks and stay for dessert in The Evergreen’s gorgeous dining room, which features more oak hardwood, an impressive coffered ceiling and crown moulding.
The open design of the dining area welcomes easy transitions to the kitchen, staircase and great room, where a wall of windows invites Mother Nature to be the guest of honor. A gas stone fireplace offers a beautiful focal point and the decorative wood-cased openings blend function with sophisticated design under the sloped ceiling and paddle fan light fixture in the great room.
The path from the great room to the breakfast area is sure to be traveled frequently, with plenty of windows ushering in natural sunlight along the way. A three-sided stone fireplace ensures everyone is cozy in the incredible keeping room, where a cup of coffee and a good book are good enough reasons to spend Saturdays indoors. A back staircase is sure to provide an easy route for hungry kids coming down on a Sunday morning pancake mission. Outside the breakfast room is an incredible covered, screened deck that leads to a second spacious deck. The kitchen, keeping room and breakfast area all flow together to offer homeowners one large space designed for many functions.
The Evergreen’s spacious kitchen features contrasting cafe and mocha cream maple cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and an island snack bar. A large walk-in pantry and plenty of counter space contribute to the functional design of an area that’s made for sharing time spent in the kitchen. Adjoining the kitchen is the laundry room and a convenient mud room, complete with a coat closet and shoe bench.
A private hallway leads to the master bedroom, which offers an ideal get-away-from-it-all retreat, with a beautiful bay window the major focal point of the sitting area. The hip-vaulted ceiling, paddle fan and recessed lighting add to the relaxed atmosphere. French doors lead to the master bath, which features his and hers espresso vanities and a spacious ceramic tiled shower with marble floor and decorative glass doors. A built-in linen closet and large whirlpool tub are also featured, in addition to a spacious walk-in closet.
A double staircase overlooks the great room area and leads upstairs, where three spacious bedrooms each include a walk-in closet. A raised sitting area in one of them makes for an ideal study nook or play area. The upper level also includes two bathrooms, one serving as a private bath.
Friendly competition is sure to be the buzz in the lower level. Brick arches invite guests to explore the spacious recreation area, pool room, TV viewing area with surround sound and bar with a full-size fridge. French doors lead to a welcoming patio, and an exercise room offers homeowners a chance to stay in shape, with plenty of room to stretch.
The Evergreen is a home designed for busy families on the go, making the daily routines of life simpler and more enjoyable. The incredible amenities, spacious living areas and unique architectural elements contribute to the welcoming atmosphere of the home, where function makes way for fun among its many rooms designed for both privacy and plenty of opportunities to keep family and friends close.
