Award-Winning Glen Mills Residence

This custom-designed home, which recently won a 2011 American Residential Design Award from the AIBD, is reminiscent of the Tudor style, and was created to meet the needs of any homeowner. From extra garage space to entry lockers, to a main floor equipped for entertaining, the Glen Mills is a home that gracefully couples style with functionality.

The inviting front entry leads to the living room and hearth area. Pocket doors lead to the attached study, while columns separate the living room from the dining and kitchen areas. Ample counter space and seating make the kitchen the center of the home, and the ideal place for entertaining guests.

There is no lack of sleeping space, either. A large upstairs master suite includes a full bath, sitting area and walk-in closet. Also on the upper level are three guest bedrooms and a full guest bathroom.

This home was built by Infiniti Custom Homes.
