The story
- Pool
Backing to a natural wooded setting, the Annalise is designed to make its outdoor environment part of the everyday experience. The 75' x 150' homesite positions the screened porch, heated pool and primary suite along the rear of the residence, with views extending toward the surrounding woods and natural habitat. Offering 4,276 square feet, four bedrooms, four full baths, one half bath and a two car garage this two-story home pairs a private setting with an architectural presence distinctive to Lafayette Park. Passing through the arched entry, the foyer opens to an expansive central dining area, creating a dramatic sightline through the home to the screened porch, pool and wooded backdrop beyond. Large sets of sliding doors frame the rear view and bring the outdoor setting directly into the arrival experience. The living room sits just off this central gathering space, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with gas logs, Venetian plaster chimney and stone surround. More than 12-foot ceilings, engineered wood flooring, refined millwork and a tongue-and-V-groove ceiling with European white oak-stained beams add warmth, volume and architectural definition to the main living areas. Rather than placing the kitchen within one continuous open room, the Annalise gives it a distinct space of its own just beyond the dining area. Generously scaled and centered around a substantial island, the kitchen features stained white oak inset cabinetry, stacked upper cabinets, quartz countertops and a Venetian plaster range hood. An adjoining scullery with its own sink extends the workspace and provides additional preparation and storage away from the main kitchen. The appliance package includes a 36-inch dual-fuel range, panel-ready refrigerator and dishwasher, microwave drawer and wine cooler. The dining area opens through large sets of sliding doors to the screened porch, creating a natural progression from the center of the home to the pool and wooded setting beyond. Rather than functioning as a separate destination, the rear porch becomes an extension of the interior gathering spaces, with prewired speakers and a gas grill connection supporting everyday outdoor living. Privately positioned at the rear of the first floor, the primary suite is separated from the main living room by a hallway and features its own gas fireplace and two walk-in closets. The primary bath includes a freestanding tub, separate walk-in shower and water closet, along with a French door providing another connection to the outdoor living area and pool. A first-floor flex room adds versatility for an office or study. Upstairs, three guest suites each have a private ensuite bath. The generously proportioned Bedroom 1 offers space for a sitting area, an expansive closet and a bath with dual vanities and a separate water closet. A den at the top of the stairs provides a second gathering area, while a dedicated upstairs laundry complements the first-floor laundry room for added convenience. Additional features include a two-car garage with epoxy flooring, EV plug and dedicated refrigerator outlet, along with substantial unfinished walk-in storage accessed by an interior conditioned stairwell above the garage.
