Like a heartfelt embrace, The Tuscany offers its homeowners an Italian-style “welcome home” within a spacious, family-friendly live bedroom and three­-and-a-half bath floor plan. Beautifully adorned with European architectural influences both inside and out, The Tuscany boasts exquisite stone and brick and a large front portico accented by a metal roof. Homeowners will enjoy year-round color landscaping surrounding the home. One step beyond the double wood and wrought iron front door into the spacious foyer, guests will surely stop in their tracks. Natural light streaming through plentiful windows ushers attention into the nearby dining space and great room, where views of the lake reflect the peaceful nature of The Tuscany. A beamed ceiling encour­ages upward glances, while beautiful hardwood and 10-foot ceilings contribute to the Old World charm. P. L. Lyons Architectural Builders has blended casual elegance and French cottage architecture to create plenty of unique spaces among the 4,724 square floor walkout ranch.

Family members will find everything they crave in the state-of-the-art kitch­en, where a large island serves as a focal point, drawing them to spend time cooking together. A spacious walk-in pantry offers plenty of room to stash secret ingredients, and beautiful cabinets and countertops emphasize a dedica­tion to craftsmanship. Just beyond, a large screened porch beckons homeown­ers to take their morning cups of coffee by the outdoor fireplace and enjoy views of the lake.

The master suit tucked beyond a private hallway outfitted with built-in shelving, coffee breakfast bar, and an art niche is a get-away-from-it-all retreat. His-and-hers walk-in closets and built-in shelves lead to the master bath, which showcases a free-standing tub and a large, tiled walk-in shower with multiple shower heads and a bench. Two bedrooms positioned on the opposite side of the home share a Jack-and-Jill bath.

Convenience is a natural partner with style within the thoughtfully designed floor plan of The Tuscany. An oversized garage makes it easy to park SUVs, and a built-in bench with cubbies and a pocket office give busy homeowners a designated space to charge electronics, keep track of bills and keep younger family members’ comings and goings more organized. A spacious laundry room with cabinetry, a sink and a folding table contribute to making life easier.
