A modern colonial possible in Thornebury
Even though its front facade is not quite symmetrical, the Thornebury still puts the viewer in mind of a colonial home. Its interior, on the other hand, is totally up to date, designed to suit the tastes and fill the needs of a contemporary family. The covered porch that spans the entire front is a great place for relaxing and enjoying the summer breezes.
Entering, you step into a foyer with a two-story ceiling and a stairway that wraps up the left side. The wide opening in front of the stairway leads into an expansive great room with light washing in through windows on three sides. A good-sized wood stove nestles into a rear corner, next to a wide window with a view of the covered patio in back.
On the right of the foyer is another opening. This one leads directly into the large kitchen. A powder room and good-sized utility room are also to the right. Noteworthy features of the utility room include two long folding counters with overhead cabinets, and direct access to the divided three-car garage.
The kitchen offers enough workspace for a small team of cooks, and plenty of storage as well. Counters wrap around two sides, and a long rectangular work island adds more workspace. An eating/conversation bar rims two sides. The roomy walk-in pantry is great for storing home-canned produce, and keeping a plentiful stock of staple food items on hand.
Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a bonus room and a large storage space are all upstairs in the Thornebury. Luxury touches in the owners' suite include a private deck, generous walk-in closet, and a private bathroom with spa tub, oversized shower, and dual vanity.
