A New House, Part 4


The double doored entrance to the master bedroom. Trayed ceiling with fan. Adjacent large walk-in closet on the west wall of the bedroom. South windows for lots of light.



Yum. Spacious bathroom has both large corner bath and separate shower. Large floor tile. Double sinks, double mirrors with vanity area. Linen closet here too. Toilet is in its own chamber. Sky lights add more light as does corner windows.



This is the view of family room fireplace taken from the bridge area outside the master bedroom. Again, lots of light. Many homes in this subdivision have 2-story family rooms.

A New House, Part 3



Ah, the heart of the house: the kitchen. What a warm kitchen. I like the color of the wood. Notice the interesting design work in the island. Granite counters. And wood floors complete the look. And, it's bright and sunny as the kitchen faces south with a door to the adjacent deck.





Here's the north wall with the stainless fridge and built-in ovens. And the work pattern is a large triangle with, I think, ample counter space.

A New House, Part 2



Nice dining room with trayed ceiling; white trim; wood floors; open from both the foyer and the hall leading to the kitchen; adjacent pantry storage, see below.







Ah, the warm sunny kitchen. Nice cabinets with, the obligatory marble counter tops, and, of course, SS appliances. Fridge built-in on north wall, surrounded by lots of storage and cabinets. Laundry room just west of kitchen where there's an entrance to the garage also. Plus a big closet. And lights built into the ceiling over the work areas.




A view of the "butler" pantry from the family room. Also shows the back stairs. The counter would be nice for serving or using it as a buffet dinner.

A New House, Part 1



I had forgotten that the front was red brick. And, I know that YOU like red brick!

Landscaping is starting to bud out. The grass is really green from all the rain.






The back of the house faces south and gets sun! I like the privacy fencing on the deck. It gives you some privacy. Where will you put the gas grill?



The red brick fireplace which is so evident in the exterior picture is also surrounded by light in the family room. Lots of windows; lots of light.





The foyer is elegant. I like the fact that the stairway has both a front from the entrance way and a back partial stairway from the kitchen area. The constrast of the wood and the white picks, the white trim is nice.





Again, nice constrast between the wood work and the trayed ceiling in the dining room.
