Coming home to 12418 Piping Rock Drive brings the triumph of timeless design and the warmth of home life, with its bricked front porch--arched at its entry--and a leaded-glass door. 
12418 Piping Rock Drive weaves the true elegance of a classic home with dashes of modern design to create a stylish, practical environment for today’s busy family
A wood-burning brick fireplace with gas log connector and a prominent mantle elevate the main family area. Flanked by floor to ceiling windows, relaxation includes an overlook of the verdant backyard. 
True elegance of a traditional home with decorative crown molding includes a wall of high-function custom cabinetry. Shelving, cupboards and counter space. Be warmed in winter by the fireplace and cooled in summer by the ceiling fan.
Coffered wainscoting outlines the shared spaces: family area. An adjoining wet bar is an unsurpassed conversation starter for its looks and ultimate mission.
Let me buy you a drink! This wet bar with its antiqued tavern-style chandelier and uproarious wall covering delivers fun and function.
A bar sink, tile countertop and base cabinets taps into the host, hostess or entertainer in you. 
A windowed, corner breakfast nook with a beaded coastal-influence chandelier captures your green-grass overlook of the backyard. The laundry room and half bath are accessed through the slim French doors at left.
Just around the corner from the bustle of the family room and wet bar, set up shop at your built-in desk/side-gig station. Keep an eye on what’s cooking. Or just order in.
Envied for its two full-size wall ovens, this hardworking kitchen enjoys a classic white appliance suite, granite countertops and a tile floor and backsplash. 
A four-burner gas range and deep single-bay stainless sink with a gooseneck faucet and pull-down sprayer highlight the chef’s toolkit. A water filtration system, pots and pans drawers and a deep-cabinet pantry (visible in an upcoming photo) boost functionality. 
Behold…more countertop, cabinets and drawers abound, and the deep reach-in pantry is a boon for dry goods, small appliances—and pet food, bottom-shelf stash—storage.
At far right, that pet has quick doggie-door access to his or her outdoor kingdom, especially on laundry day. This zoomy mud room, adjacent to the breakfast area, delivers overhead built-in cabinets, space for washer/dryer and a freestanding storage cabinet/work area. At left is the half bath.
Gem tone zone. Your generous half bath with a granite vanity, patinaed wood-bead framed mirror; custom ombre style paint and coordinating, whimsical window shade is conveniently tucked within the utility space, off the breakfast nook and kitchen. 
Starring in the show, the dining room is one of two large front rooms that bookend the grand foyer and sing with their wood-look floors and geometric light fixtures. 
Fronting the kitchen, the formal dining space features intricate, deep crown molding, chair railing and base trim. 
An opposite view from the kitchen doorway captures the triple bay window overlooking the front lawn.
Welcome. Make yourself at home. The formal entry creates drama and options. Complete with its fancy millwork trims, the space leads to the dining room, family area or upstairs. To the right is a flex space.
Another look at the airy foyer illustrates its juxtaposition to the flex space (through the French doors), the family room at left and the front door at right.
An understated treasure. The front room, flex space seamlessly adapts to an office, craft center, play room or even another guest room.
Another view of the flex space features the luminous trio of street-front facing windows.
Set to welcome a king-size bed and assorted furniture arrangements, the main suite anchors the upstairs private spaces.

Another view of the bedroom first to the right of the stairway shows the reach in closet and the inclusion of chair rail trim.
This secondary bedroom views the front yard and is located off the longer hallway, first on the right. This room features another ceiling fan and enviable walk-in closet.
