This Southern Colonial-inspired two-story has an added four-season room that also expanded the upstairs main bedroom. A full, finished basement adds to the living space, allowing for a room for everything.
Listed for $469,500 by Irongate Inc. Realtors, the brick two-story at 1019 Ashburton Drive has about 4,100 square feet of living space with traditional formal areas and cozy casual space. Located within the Brittany Hills neighborhood of Washington Twp., the house sits on a curved, 0.82-acre lot with an oversized, side-entry, two-car garage and extra parking pad.
A brick wall surrounds the backyard patio that has garden boxes and accents for a quiet courtyard setting.
White columns accent the formal front entry, which opens into a foyer with a semi-open staircase, crown molding, chair rail and slate-tile flooring. To the right, the formal dining room has detailed crown molding and ceiling roping around a hanging light fixture. Hardwood flooring fills the room, and a floor-to-ceiling window allows in natural light.

Built-in bookcases and cabinetry surround French doors at one end of the living room, offering plenty of display space and storage. The French doors open to a four-season room, which is one-step off the living room. Several windows provide panoramic views of the back yard. Wood beams accent the ceiling, and a painted-brick plant box is built into one corner. The room has carpeting, baseboard heat option and a single door that opens to the courtyard patio.
Completing the circular main-level floor plan, the family room connects the living room and kitchen and offers a cozy setting with a brick fireplace. Wood paneling accents the wall space surrounding the fireplace, which has a wood-burning insert and a wood mantel. A tall window and double-glass doors flank the fireplace. The glass doors open to the courtyard patio.
A spindled accented partial wall divides the family room from the kitchen, which has access to the dining room. The eat-in kitchen has space for everything. Two countertops with drawers flank a window and have screen-accented display cabinets above. A window is above the double sink and cabinetry wraps round the cooktop and refrigerator. Granite countertops complement the cabinetry, which also includes a planning station.
