Breathtaking is the only way to describe your first view, as you enter the home!
Sometimes, you just know. You know that a particular home has to be yours! Like this 2-story, single family brick/stone elevation beauty at 27126 Bell Mare Drive, Katy, TX, nestled in a corner-lot, cul-de-sac in the Canyon Lakes at Cardiff Ranch community.
This most desirable Westin Homes corner lot residence is magnificently maintained, both inside and out, showing attentive ownership and dazzling curb appeal. Inside, are 4 bedrooms, (3) full and (2) half-baths, all sitting on a 9,958 square-foot lot with 4,761 square-feet of interior living space.
Recessed, brick lined and covered, the front entrance hosts massive double doors.
Pale earth tones grace walls and tile floor with wall and ceiling details that make this home so special. Arched doorways, for example, here, lend a warm intimacy, especially to the home office/study, center.
This divine shot from above, just under the rotunda, is truly magazine worthy!
Elegant simplicity defines appointments and colors in the home; starting with this demure formal dining area, with lush earth toned carpeting, walls, detailed wainscoting and classic crown molding. Two large windows bring lots of natural light.
This front room is perfect as a home office/study behind delicate french doors; which can denote privacy or have an open-door-policy. if you wish. The wall-wide built-in shelving unit will store and/or display just about anything.
Your huge living/family space is graced by a wall of windows, up, down, and sideways, bathing this vast common space in supreme natural light. Shining wood floors host the divine, built-in fireplace, under art niche panels, above. Have no worries about your treasured pieces not fitting! The perfect vaulted ceiling gives an even greater visual perspective of unending space.
This wide open, airy view clearly displays the sheer versatility and beauty of the open floor plan system, which offers tremendous open space for you to imprint your lifestyle! In one glance from the living area, you can see the chef's kitchen (left), the upstairs wrought iron balconies and catwalks and a straight view to the front door.
Where family and guests gather in a casual living environment and heavenly aromas from a kitchen combine, the meeting of both is memorable!
This has to be one of the most awesome views of your kitchen in the morning sun! Creamy granite countertops shine, complementing the pale backsplash and appealing mosaic trim. Straight ahead is a bright breakfast nook, all accessing the huge living area.
Gleaming dark chocolate colored cabinetry provides tons of storage and convenience for every task. Stainless steel appliances just enhance the glow!
The inward curve of the extended counter is a unique choice and so much more comfortable! The counter houses the sink and also provides a great 'finger food' surface when entertaining!
Walls of windows and arched detail create a special environment in this breakfast/casual dining nook, with access to the patio door.
This may just be the convenient Jack and Jill bath on the second floor.
It's all in the details. Just look at these darling circle windows above a wall of bay windows, below! This bright front room is perfect as a study/home office, graced in peaceful, cool tones on walls and carpeting.
Your primary retreat of peace and repose is, of course, your huge primary suite, also charmed by a wall of bay windows and gleaming wood floors. A tray ceiling is always a rich, intimate touch.
You have room for just about any size and shape of treasured furnishings, here. Your ensuite bath peeks out, left.
The gorgeous jetted Whirlpool tub is ready whenever you are, and so is the spacious glass enclosed shower, opposite.
This is what gentle indulgence looks and feels like! Your primary ensuite bath hosts dual/separate sinks, housed in sublime mocha coloed granite and mosaic backsplash; with great cabinet and vanity space, below. The column theme is seen here, too, giving a quiet grandness to the space.
Here we are on the spectacular 'gameroom' level, viewing the regal wrought iron staircase railing/balcony, which perfectly frame the magnificent rotunda. As suggested, this full area can be a sitting/living space; a traditional game room with pool table, etc; or whatever you want it to be. Bedrooms are off this lush common area.
Good sized secondary bedrooms are carpeted and ready for large pieces.
Here's a look at another secondary bedroom.
A lovely secondary bath offers the same comforts as its primary counterpart.
This bedroom has full access to its ensuite bath.
Bedrooms may offer more than just sleeping quarters, as suggested here! Any secondary may serve alternate purposes; such as a nursery, hobby room . . . anything you need them to be.
Here's another large secondary bedroom, welcoming large pieces and accents.
Morning coffee under your covered patio? A mid-day iced tea? Maybe a cocktail at sundown.
Looks like it might be time for a summer gathering to celebrate your new home!
