Burlington Home of the Week: 20 Tinkham Ave.

This elegant and contemporary home offers an attractive open floor plan and many family-friendly accessories.

The open floor plan has become an increasingly popular design with homeowners, and while this home was built a little before the trend began, it was apparently ahead of its time because it boasts fluid spaces in both typical and sometimes surprising areas. Many of the fluid spaces are in protected rooms, but materials, such as glass, structural enhancements and oversized thresholds, firmly encourage that graceful traffic flow.

This custom colonial's contemporary style is unmistakably exhibited in its sleek exterior structure, inside however, the owners have nicely exercised an eclectic approach to comfortably blend an elegant home that is both modern and traditional. A beautiful wood accented front foyer leads to an impressive 29 x 24 square foot gourmet kitchen with an abundance of granite countertops and cabinets, new appliances, a center island breakfast bar and lovely casual dining area that unites with the adjoining 20 x 19 square foot fireplaced family room. A pair of glass French doors from the family room effortless guide guests into a charming 15 x 11 square foot heated sunroom. The lovely 20 x 16 square foot formal living room boasts a magnificent focal point with a marble fireplace and a floor-to-ceiling ornate mantel and the 17 x 13 square foot dining room offers a small taste of visual interest with an architectural mural. A 17 x 13 square foot bedroom and full bath are also located on this level for single-floor living options or this space would make an ideal home office.

The second floor offers a king-sized 19 x 16 square foot master suite with a cathedral ceiling, walk-in closet and deluxe master bath with a Jacuzzi, three additional bedrooms at 14 x 10, 12 x 11 and 11 x 10 square feet and a full family bath. Leisure and recreational activities both indoors and outside have also been given high priority with the initial creation and subsequent renovations of this home with a 20 x 12 square foot game room in the basement and an in-ground pool, basketball court and patio within the half acre landscape.
