Contemporary gem boasts lots of style

SOUTH ELGIN -- Located at the end of a circle drive in a quiet little subdivision in South Elgin, this week's featured home offers a wrap-around porch, decorative gingerbread fretwork above both the front door and windows, and an immaculate yard.

Inside, the home is full of contemporary style. Bold-yet-tasteful colors dress the walls and are a complement to the warm tones of the Pergo flooring on the first floor.

The practical, step-saving kitchen offers black appliances and a bright eating area. Open the glass doors to enjoy the back patio and stone path that grace the backyard. The kitchen opens to a spacious family room offering clean lines and the understated elegance of a contemporary home. The fireplace features a ceramic surround, and the room's corner windows offer a great view.

The second floor of this lovely home offers a small loft area and four large bedrooms. The master suite is spacious with large windows, double door entry and a huge walk-in closet. There is also a secondary closet that would be handy for storing off-season clothing and extra blankets. The adjoining bathroom is a lovely retreat offering an oval jet tub, glass shower and a separate privy. Arched windows and a ceramic tile floor are among the upgrades in the master spa.

The three other bedrooms on the second floor offer bright paint colors and lots of style. The full hall bathroom comes complete with a skylight.
