hen you build your dream home you don’t skimp with big box store run of the mill fixtures and materials. You won’t live in a builder’s McHouse built quickly to be sold quickly before the paint dries. After all it is your forever home to enjoy every day. The owners of 47 Dominic Drive spared no expense to make their home perfect--cleverly utilizing every square inch in surprising and functional ways. Entertain with friends on the massive private 31’ x 20’ deck with pergola surrounded by forest. A food prep table and storage next to your grill. A concealed storage rack on deck keeps wood dry and a latched gate makes it easier to move large items into the main floor and for snow removal. As night falls enjoy smores and libations at the huge fire pit by the forest edge with stone seating and room for all of your friends. Below the deck is a 22’ x 8’ storage shed with windows for your toys. Meticulously landscaped grounds incorporate stone walls with lush mature specimen plantings only Mother Nature and time can produce. Come inside to an open plan with a chef’s kitchen, dining area and living room set up for a large flat screen connected by a hidden whole house media center and first floor bedroom. Upstairs the master suite sanctuary has two separate walk-in closets, separate basins, shower and private toilet room. There’s an additional bedroom, full bath and laundry down the hall. The unfinished third floor is currently used as a personal gym. Be amazed by the spotless finished two-car garage and shop with hidden key storage, speakers, and an ingenious hanging re-purposed aircraft brackets. This is a place you might only find in the pages of architectural magazines. Make this your place to call home to enjoy everyday.
