Press a button on the living room wall and a glass garage-style door rolls up onto a covered deck, and the living room simply keeps going outside. Closed, it works like a floor-to-ceiling window and pours daylight across the kitchen and living area. Open on a fall afternoon, it turns a normal Saturday into something your friends talk about on the drive home: the game on the TV wall, the door up, people moving between the couch, the long island and the deck without anyone feeling cut off. This is the staged model home, so you can see exactly how it lives (staging furniture does not convey). Three bedrooms, each with its own full bath, plus a half bath on the living level, across three levels of new construction with a builder warranty. The main-level suite has an L-shaped walk-in closet, a walk-in shower and its own door to a covered concrete patio with an outlet, a water spigot and landscaping planted for privacy. Up top, two more suites with walk-in closets; one has a U-shaped closet with a window, dual sinks and a tub/shower, and the laundry sits between them. Rolling hills and trees from the top-floor windows. The kitchen runs on LG appliances and an extra-long island that seats four large stools, with oversized soft-close drawers, a vertical tray cabinet, a cabinet over the microwave that runs to the ceiling and a five-shelf pantry. Craftsman-style trim, recessed lighting across the living level, wood stair treads and hard-surface floors on the living level. Stacked stone and fiber-cement exterior, a deep one-car attached garage and a parking pad. About 2 minutes to I-40, 8 to Bellevue, 10 to Sylvan Park and The Nations, 15 to West End and downtown, 30 to the airport. Friends get here easily, and once that door goes up, nobody leaves early.
