Pentwater - Transitional Cottage

A three-story vaulted ceiling in the foyer welcomes friends and family. An open-plan living and dining space boasts a large, two-sided beadboard and stone fireplace that separates the two rooms while maintaining an easy flow and visual connection. Large windows bring the blue outside indoors. Nearby is a classic kitchen, where a dark wood island balances elegant white cabinets and a large stand-along pantry provides plenty of storage. Homeowners who like to entertain will find that the Pentwater simplifies steps by placing a dining area just off the kitchen. A large central island becomes a perfect prep space as well as snacking station for both family and friends, who can gather in the heart of the home while the homeowner cooks. Second- and third-story spaces include a second-floor family room/den, a master suite and two additional family bedrooms. The third floor features a cozy tower room perfect for watching sunsets or reading a good book, while the lower level boasts an additional guest bedroom, a family room and billiards and nearby kitchenette.
