Take a Tour of this Fabulous Kitchen!



Come take a look at this FABULOUS kitchen, which is definitely the heart of this home. It has been meticulously designed for convenient workflow and storage, and is a perfect setting for family gatherings or entertaining friends.



The focal point of this kitchen is definitely the SPECTACULAR hood over the cooktop area. It is eye-catching and will amaze anyone who enters your kitchen! The hand-crafted maple cabinetry is stained in a dark cherry color and has beautifully intricate corbels and applique. There is a nice shelf with a platter notch for decorating seasonally that is set off by three raised panels.



Inside this beautiful cabinetry, you will find a professional-grade Vent-a-Hood with two fans and an "Iron Lung" for increased airflow and fire protection. Cook greasy hamburgers on your cooktop grill without filling your kitchen with smoke! There are also bright lights to illuminate your work area, and the backsplash adds the perfect compliment to the cabinets and granite.

This GE MONOGRAM 48" professional cooktop makes cooking so easy! It has 4 burners on one side, and an integrated grill and griddle on the other. Above the cooktop is a pot-filler, so you won't have to haul those heavy pots from the sink!



On either side of the cooktop, there are convenient slide-out spice racks. With adjustable shelves, they are able to handle every size of spice or cooking ingredient you might need.




For easy access, this kitchen has LOTS of large, deep drawers in the place of lower cabinets. This will allow you to store even your largest pots and pans without having to crouch down into an open cupboard, searching for it. And storing heavy stoneware plates here is definitely easier on the back!




All drawers extend fully out, so you can easily reach the items way in the back. There are so many drawers in this kitchen, you just might have a hard time finding things to fill them all!


Some of the other great features you will find in this kitchen are:



An APPLIANCE GARAGE to keep your countertop appliances out of sight,



A handy SLOTTED CABINET for storing cookie sheets and other flat items neatly and conveniently over the oven area,



A PULL-OUT TRASH BIN for keeping garbage out of view,



A handy PASS-THRU cupboard from the pantry for easily rotating canned and other goods and accessing them easily from the kitchen, and a HUGE WALK-IN PANTRY that is sure to provide you with all the storage space you could ever need! This pantry also includes a space under the stairs which is great for storing large, bulky items.



The other appliances in this kitchen are high-grade GE PROFILE models and include a double oven with convection, built-in microwave, and 2 dishwashers (one on either side of the sink.)





This sink is oversized and DEEP, which makes washing large items so easy! The integrated soap and lotion dispensers and pull-down faucet are also handy.

Finally, a second focal point is the SEEDED GLASS cabinet, which also has lighting. It is a nice place to keep your more decorative items.

More Pictures!




Front of House



Here is the view of the entry from the front door. You can see all the way through to the family room and pool, up into the game room, and into the formal dining and formal living rooms on either side. It is really a grand entrance.




This is our HUGE office! We have 2 large desks and have plenty of room. Behind the solid double doors is the server room, which could also serve as a large, walk-in closet.

Here is the Master Bedroom. There is a nice French Door which goes out to the back patio.

Master Bathroom. This is the deepest jetted tub on the market and also has a "vanity seat". There are his and hers vanities with raised countertops for comfort. Beside "His" vanity is a large floor to ceiling cabinet with lots of storage space and a nice spot for a TV. "Her" vanity has a knee space.

This is the steam shower. Just close the transom window up top, set your time and temperature for what you want, and in a few minutes you have a wonderfully relaxing wet sauna! It is great for those with asthma/allergy issues, and also leaves your skin feeling cleaner, smoother, and more moisurized.

Bedroom 6 or "Guest Bedroom" is on the opposite side of the main floor from the Master suite. This is a king size bed with a large bookcase headboard, and there is still plenty of space for walking around and a dresser and/or chair. The large closet has double hanging rods on one half and floor to ceiling shelves on the other half for additional storage space.

The Guest/Pool bath is right off of the guest bedroom and has a door leading out to the pool area. There are plenty of hooks along the wall for hanging your wet towels and suits to dry.

Main Floor Laundry. There is plenty of cupboard and counter space in here, as well as a utility sink and a bar-height hobby desk. This picture does not really show how roomy it is in here.


This is the "Learning Center", which could also be a nice home planning area or second office space. It is right off the kitchen for easy access and monitoring of computer use.

Exercise Room

Now we head upstairs. Here is another view of the gameroom.

The secondary bedrooms are spacious.

This cute room has a "false balcony" (the doors don't really open), and on the left, you can see the ladder going up to a fun loft area just right for all your child's secret clubhouse meetings!

This is the main bathroom for the upstairs and is used by the two previous bedrooms and guests in the gameroom. It has a HUGE double-sink vanity and a second room just for the tub and toilet. No more fighting over bathroom space!

Another very roomy bedroom.

The fourth and final upstairs bedroom.

These last two bedrooms are set up "Jack and Jill" style, with each having a separate vanity area and a shared tub/toilet room. They also both have well-designed walk-in closets with plenty of shelving and hanging rods.



This is the upstairs laundry room. The walk-out attic storage area is just outside the door on the far right of the picture.
