While many master bedrooms can be considered sufficient, it is uncommon to see one tick every box. This extends to its size and design, along with the calibre of its closet and ensuite.
These style and functionality strengths are on display in the Clairmont SSY 24. This model by Cedarglen Homes, available in sizes ranging from 2,250 to 2,575 square feet, is demonstrated as a show home in Livingston.
A tone for the master bedroom is set by upscale french doors at its entrance. It’s positioned for privacy, with no other rooms on the second floor in its direct vicinity, beyond a laundry room to which it accesses through the closet.
At 14-foot two inches by 12 feet three inches, the bedroom’s proportions are considerable, and there’s a large window that fills it with natural light.
The above mentioned closet is reached from within the master ensuite. Attaching the ensuite, closet and laundry room creates short cuts and conveniences that make both the start and end of day routine easier.
For instance, an article of clothing can spend the night in the dryer and be easy to access when getting dressed in the morning if needed.
Before bed, one can drop their clothes from the day into the washing machine to top off a load, prior to putting it through a cycle.
The walk-through closet is large enough to serve as a dressing room. In the ensuite, high points include a vanity with two sinks, soaker tub and glass-encased shower with a black frame.
Two secondary bedrooms are on the opposite end of the second floor. Separating the two ends is a well-sized centrally located bonus room.
In the show home, the secondary bedrooms, which are positioned side by side, are each shown with a walk-in closet. This feature helps these sleep spaces to serve the needs of the children who occupy them as they grow older.
A full bathroom, just a few steps down the hall from the secondary bedrooms, includes two vanities on opposite walls. As such, more than one child can use this space to brush their teeth and comb their hair at the same time.
The home incorporates multiple work spaces. Just off the secondary bedrooms is a desk area, ideal for polishing off homework assignments.
The other is a main floor flex room staged as a home office. It sets up near the foyer, making it easy for the person who works from home to greet clients and accept work-related deliveries.
Along the main floor’s rear-facing wall, a series of windows toss sunshine across the great room and dining area, even extending central L-shaped kitchen.
The cooking space boasts an island with a sink and eating bar that seats at least three people. On one kitchen wall, a chic chimney-style hoodfan is flanked by eye-catching upper cabinets with glass fronts.
The other wall continues the focus on storage with an abundance of cabinets, ensuring every cereal box and kitchen gadget has its place.
In the show home, a legal suite is presented in the basement. This option is well-suited for people looking to offset their mortgage costs through a rental tenant. The suite includes a spacious kitchen, rec area, bedroom and full bathroom.
