Located in the pocket neighborhood of Lakes on Eldridge, this 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home, originally a David Powers model, has pride of place on a wide corner lot of this quiet, cul-de-sac street.
Meticulously maintained, this turnkey property, with a striking red-brick facade and manicured lawn, stands ready for its next owners. 
This side view shows the length of the extended driveway and three-car garage. 
An inviting entry, lined with sculpted plantings and stone-encased flower beds is flanked by large sconce lighting and enjoys the protection of a lofty vaulted archway.
This light and bright foyer sets the stage for the open and sizable spaces that characterize this stately home.
To the left of the foyer is the formal dining room, roomy enough to accommodate large dinner party plans or dim the lights for a cozier gathering.
Just to the right of the foyer is the formal sitting room, used by the present owners as a musical space, it is complete with hardwood flooring and a twinkling chandelier.
Looking back toward the front door, custom tile work with a diamond inlay accent carries through past the French doors leading to the private study. 
Custom built-in cabinetry and high-climbing bookcases handsomely frame the fireplace in this industrious space. Details such as the arched transom window and dental molding detail on the mantel demonstrate the added design touches throughout this home.
Looking back through the house toward the front door, the open-concept and easy flow of this home is visible. The diamond pattern layout of the tile work stretches the full length and provides continuity to the spaces.

Just off the living room is this bright and tidy breakfast nook with access to the backyard. 
Counter space and storage abound in this chef's kitchen with center island. The doorway beyond leads to a built-in butler's area with glass-front cabinetry and then through to the utility.
