Grand foyers with spiral staircases and soaring rotunda ceilings have become a signature feature for Westin Homes, whose new Preston III model home in Elyson reaches new heights.
In the tradition of the great American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the Preston III welcomes you into a more intimate space before leading you to the breathtaking foyer. The front door opens to a gallery with high ceilings, leading past a pair of wide French doors that enclose the home office.
The space continues to expand until you reach the light-filled central rotunda, which soars up to an eye-catching “wedding cake” ceiling, with contrasting paint to emphasize the detail. The dazzling chandelier offers another focal point.
Westin’s trademark spiral staircase swoops effortlessly upward, with hardwood treads and detailed iron balusters. The curved balcony echoes these graceful lines.
If you can take your eyes off this foyer, there’s a lot more to love about this four-bedroom model, including a two-story family room with a cozy fireplace, a built-in niche with soft lighting, and rows of windows reaching from floor to ceiling.
The primary bedroom suite is a luxurious retreat, with architectural details including a shiplap-style wall treatment behind the bed, and a grand chandelier hanging from the double-recessed ceiling. The wide nightstands and other furnishings emphasize the spacious dimensions of this room.
The primary bathroom checks the boxes for many of the latest luxury bathroom trends, including a relaxing soaking tub, bold tile designs, luxe lighting and warm colors. The room-sized walk-in closet has a door that opens to the adjoining utility room, creating a convenient “laundry loop” that can also be accessed from the other side.
Homebuyers rank laundry rooms as one of their top priorities in the National Association of Home Builders’ “What Home Buyers Really Want” survey. The Preston III delivers with a spacious utility room that smartly provides extra countertop space across the tops of the side-by-side washer and dryer. More cabinet and hanging space is above.
The farmhouse-style kitchen includes a casual dining area, with a formal dining room located on the other side.
Upstairs, the Preston III has plenty of spaces for entertaining, including a gameroom that easily accommodates a full-size pool table, comfy seating and other furnishings. Sliding barn doors open to the media room, which has inviting overstuffed chairs and theater-style lighting.
In the back, the Preston III has another Westin signature feature, a spacious covered patio with a cathedral ceiling that emphasizes the volumes of the great outdoors. Tapered stone columns and an open gable enhance the appeal of this inviting outdoor living area.
