Washington Twp. home includes walk-out lower level

Two-stories of windows allow for panoramic views of the landscaped semi-private back yard of this brick home in the Waterbury Woods subdivision of Washington Twp.

From the grand foyer to the great room to the walk-out lower level, large windows allow nature to be the artwork among the interior design. Listed for $999,900 by Coldwell Banker Heritage Realtors, the home at 10795 Falls Creek Lane sits on three-fourths of an acre property on a cul-de-sac.

Paver brick creates the front porch and rear patio footwork while keystones and stone-lined water features accent the tiered back yard. Inside, volume ceilings allow for oversized windows which fill the 8,350 square feet of living space.

Formal entry opens into a grand foyer with a two-story wall of windows, open staircase and catwalk with wrought-iron railings and ceramic-tile flooring. French doors open to an executive study with custom mahogany built-in desk and bookcases. To the left, the dining room is encased by arched columns.

A coffered ceiling accents the great room, which has two walls of windows, part of which surround patio doors that open out to a balcony deck. Another wall has a gas fireplace with limestone surround and fluted wood mantel. Bookcases and cabinetry flank the fireplace.

Open from the great room is the kitchen, which is U-shaped in design. Granite countertops include two peninsula counters and a buffet counter. An island has a wine cooler and bottle rack. Stainless-steel appliances include a gas cooktop and wall ovens. Pantry cabinetry has roll-out shelves. The breakfast room is built into the turret so it has a bay-like design. A door off the great room leads out to a screen-enclosed porch with cathedral ceiling and access to the rear deck.

Upstairs, off the catwalk, is a loft sitting room that overlooks the great room. Two bedrooms have access from the loft and share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Each bedroom has its own single-sink vanity. A third bedroom has a private bath with tub/shower and single-sink vanity.

A hallway from the catwalk leads to the main bedroom, which has a cathedral ceiling with lighted crown molding. A walk-in closet with built-in organizers is accessible from both the bedroom and the bathroom. The bath features a dual head, walk-in ceramic-tile shower, two separate vanities with bowl sinks, and an oval whirlpool tub surrounded by ceramic tile and windows.

An open stairwell from the foyer leads to the fully finished lower level, which features an exercise area, family room with gas fireplace and media nook, a recreation room with wet bar, and a secluded theater room. There is a fifth bedroom, which has a daylight window and two closets and a full bathroom. The family room has patio doors that walk out to a paver-brick patio and back yard.
