Your Home away from Home

Welcome to the Lux Nest, your home away from home!
Walk into the open concept living room and look through to the chef's kitchen. The kitchen boasts a induction stove-top, convection oven, disposal, and flexible seating.
Head into the master bedroom, furnished with a king-size bed, two nightstands and lamps, and a flat screen television for streaming your favorite shows. The second bedroom has a bunk beds: twin size over full size to accommodate kids and teens.
Take a look into the vintage bathroom with original fixtures and tile.
Go out the side door in the kitchen and check out the breezeway. It is set up for conversations and game playing for times when you don't want to be outside or inside... it's the perfect compromise!
Now head downstairs to the fully furnished basement! The reclaimed barn wood walls surround two areas. On one side, there is a queen size bed with side tables, and a chair and ottoman, perfect for reading a juicy novel. There is also a table and chairs in case a game is in order. The other side of the basement has a futon that folds down into a full size bed and a comfy sofa facing a flat screen television equipped with limited cable and full streaming capability.
Through the basement door is the laundry room with a washing machine, dryer, and laundry sink so you don't have to head home with dirty clothes.
Now head back upstairs and into the back yard. First thing you might notice is the hot tub. There is a four burner grill to cook up your perfect dinner when you don't want to head out to the nearby restaurants. There is plenty of room for the kids to play: climb the gorgeous tree, head down into the ravine and explore the creek, sit in the double swing chair and look for wildlife. Build a fire in the fire pit and roast marshmallows, tell stories, and sing songs. Did I mention the hammocks? Perfect for napping and reading.
