Named after three-time major championship golfer, Payne Stewart, this extraordinary bungalow model is as flamboyant as its namesake and exudes the same elegance demonstrated in his swing.
Throughout more than 2,100 square feet of main floor, the Stewart offers vast, energetic living spaces with ceilings to appease any aspiring golfer—if one were to practice inside the house. It even boasts a triple car garage to store your collection of golf carts.
The Grand Foyer
Like a mansion from a Hollywood flick, the entrance to this home presents optimum glamour. A vast, cascading staircase is slightly off centre to the front door, subtly widening as you descend. Across from the staircase on the main floor stands a magnificent stone wall and copper hood, pierced with a two-way gas fireplace. Not your average welcome into a home, one might say.
Home Office
To one side of the foyer lies an expansive 15' x 11' home office, the front wall lined with windows for plenty of natural light. Ten foot ceilings with a tray design adorn this space, offering plenty of opportunity for ultra high, library-style bookshelves if you so choose. This space offers plenty of room for a large desk and additional working table or seating area.
Great Room
Perhaps the biggest star of the home is the great room with its 12' ceilings, massive wall of windows, and vast, flexible space to arrange your furniture in any way you prefer. The stunning two-way fireplace mentioned earlier near the staircase can act as the focal point or simply a cozy area for relaxation.
Utility & Garage
To the other side of the foyer, you'll find a door leading to the mudroom and laundry area complete with large closet and built-in bench seating. Connecting the garage entry to the large, walk-in pantry, this area has plenty of space to handle life's daily routines. A half bath is nestled neatly beside the pantry next to the mudroom area.
Kitchen
The Stewart's kitchen is any home chef's dream. Spectacular stonework arches above the oversized gas oven, framing the space and setting a focal point for the heart of the home. Two islands and a full wall of cabinetry and countertop space offer more than enough working area to prepare for gatherings.
The island nearest the great room has a rounded eating bar offering plenty of space for three or four to sit. The kitchen and its adjacent dining area both offer ten foot ceilings with tray finishes to expand and define the individual spaces without interrupting the open concept of this home.
Dining Area
Next to the kitchen lies a large, 15' x 14' dining area complete with a large cantilever area for your family's heirloom china cabinet or other furniture feature for this space. The room is large enough to contain a massive dining table so you can host your entire family or friends for the holidays. One of two entrances to the large rear deck lies off the dining area, providing an ideal transition for those summer barbecues.
Master Suite
From the great room—closer to the hallway—lies the grand entrance to the master suite. A small hallway adds a bit of extra privacy en route to the main bedroom area, which boasts 14' x 17' in living space with ten foot ceilings. The second door to the rear deck lies near the back wall of the master bedroom, providing an easy step outside to enjoy the morning, or a glass of wine in the evening before bed.
The master bedroom offers an optional corner fireplace as well.
Grand Ensuite
The master ensuite is something to behold. A passageway from the master bedroom stands beside the corner fireplace (if selected) welcoming you into your own personal paradise. Behind the fireplace, you'll find a long wall of cabinetry offering a bank of drawers and dual sinks with plenty of countertop space.
Opposite the cabinets, you'll find a large, separate soaker tub and an oversized stand-up shower next to it. A water closet with a locking door lies just behind the shower, as does a set of cabinets for extra storage.
The vast walk-in closet is accessed just next to the second sink, and offers plenty of shelving, storage space, and ten foot ceilings.
Lower Floor Development
As you descend the aforementioned cascading staircase, you'll land upon a spacious family room and games room. Each space offers versatility in their openness, allowing you to create a diverse living experience with gathering areas for movies, billiards table, foosball, card table, or any other recreational activity you desire. The game room offers a cozy fireplace as well to add just that little bit of extra warmth.
Behind the staircase you'll find an optional, sizable wet bar complete with plenty of cabinet and countertop space, a sink, and a refrigerator. Under the staircase you can opt for a wine fridge, conveniently located near the wet bar but out of the way for passersby.
A hobby room is located behind the wet bar, which can be designed for any type of hobby you have. It can be converted into a home gym, a craft studio, art room, or gaming area for the kids. An optional laundry room is nearby, as is an extra storage area for the household seasonal items.
Two bedrooms and a full bath—with dual sinks—are located on the opposite side of the lower floor, offering plenty of additional living space for guests, older children, or other home activities.
The Stewart model is a beautifully spacious home, offering diversity in how you need it to fit your particular lifestyle and household needs. This home can be sophisticated in design while maintaining the fun in function.
