2 Elegant living space... From the moment we step inside, our senses are filled with color, light and texture as rich hardwood absorbs the sunlight streaming in through abundant windows. Coffered ceilings, deep moldings and trim, custom wallcoverings and panel wainscoting create the backdrop for a variety of tastes and furnishings. Topping the great room is a cathedral ceiling with massive hand hewn trusses and petal ceiling fan.

3 81 Tennyson Drive Taking full advantage of the natural surroundings, indoor space transitions effortlessly into outdoor living through transom French doors with large windows above. A stone fireplace with wood mantel and raised hearth dominates this room and invites us to relax and enjoy the warmth of a roaring fire.

4 Designer s kitchen... Clearly made for those who love to cook and entertain, this designer kitchen combines professional-grade appliances with furniture-quality cabinets for an exceptional result. Granite counters give way to a tile backsplash while the center island with marble counter and glass top breakfast bar offers added workspace and a perfect spot for a quick meal. Set below a wood ceiling and surrounded by large transom windows, the adjoining breakfast room gives new definition to conservatory-style dining.

5 Filled with sunlight, granite, marble, hardwood, tile and superior craftsmanship fill the sense with rich textures and subtle hues. Whether you are a weekend dabbler or gourmet enthusiast, this kitchen makes even the most modest meal feel like an elaborate feast.

6 Your private oasis... Located at the end of the gallery hallway are two bedrooms, a full bath and service staircase to the upper and lower levels. Generous closet storage is available to both rooms ideally suited to your individual needs. While one bedroom enjoys an en suite full bath, the other bedroom includes French doors opening to a outdoor living room. A gas fireplace allows for an intimate al fresco dinner or casual entertaining from early spring through late fall. From the outdoor living room, a walkway leads to a patio with more than enough space for dining and lounge chairs. The expansive yard will easily accommodate a lively game of soccer or ambitious lawn party.

7 In many ways this extraordinary home reminds us of a grand Southern Plantation. The second level deck is positioned above the outdoor living room while spacious lawns are punctuated by stone walls and an expansive patio invites guests to dine in style.

8 A romantic retreat... The master suite is a luxurious retreat where relaxation is the order of the day. Windows reaching to the ceiling overlook the tranquil backyard as the vaulted wood-panel ceiling adds to the sense of space. Adjacent to the master bedroom is a study or nursery while the master bath includes a whirlpool spa, the perfect antidote to aching muscles and tension. A huge dressing room offers abundant storage and conveniently opens into the laundry room. Four additional bedrooms and two more full baths are featured on this second level. Each bedroom enjoys generous closet storage, a tasteful decor and large windows.

9 At every turn this home supplies an element of distinction and interest. Situated at the top of the stairs is the library. The focal point of this room is its circular window, a portal to the natural surroundings. Mahogany wainscoting accents bold red walls creating an atmosphere well suited to overstuffed chairs. Relax with your favorite book in front of a warm fire as sunlight pours in through this unique window.
