Weston Home of the Week: 49 Orchard Ave.

This open floor plan provides both warmth and an abundance of exposed space.

For the potential homebuyer looking for the quintessential model of the open floor plan, their hunt is over. Reminiscent of a deluxe chalet, this magnificent home boasts an incredibly exposed first floor with a vaulted two-story ceiling, a unique floating staircase and exposed wood drenching the room from the floor to the ceiling.

The 19 x 30 square foot living room offers an irresistible invitation to relax and put your feet up in front of the grand floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace while the natural wood in the exposed ceiling beams and surrounding the arched windows only enhance this already warm and welcoming setting.

The adjacent 15 x 25 square foot gourmet kitchen supplies views of the entire floor creating effortless, streamlined entertaining and keeps owners completely involved with their guests while preparing meals. This culinary masterpiece offers an abundance of granite surfaces, including the oversized center island with seating and wet bar, natural custom cabinets, many with glass fronts and an oversized window overlooking the lush, manicured one and a half acres of land.
