4 BEDROOM, 3 BATH, 2 LAUNDRIES, LUXURY HOME

THE KITCHEN

As one of the most commonly used rooms in the house, this award-winning designer kitchen is as beautiful as it is functional. We’ve built a brand new kitchen with farmhouse sink, custom spacious cabinets, wine racks, glass doors, deco shelves, large pantry, large waterfall Island with a range hood, and even a casual breakfast bar! Additionally, the kitchen features Carrara -quartz countertops, and Euro appliances with built-in 5-burner gas cooktop, microwave drawer, double ovens, and refrigerator.  No attention to detail was left out, like the highest rated dishwasher for quietness!

THE SHARED SPACES

You will love hosting gatherings and spending time with family and friends in the spacious dining and family rooms, as well as a living room adorned with beautiful wall sconces and a custom-built designer gas fireplace. There is even a separate downstairs bedroom with a private bath and electric carousel closet.

THE BATHROOMS

The professionally designed master bath includes a freestanding tub with a waterfall faucet, beautifully tiled spa shower, drying area, bench and heat lamp, custom built wardrobe, and a mirror closet with a soft-open and close with full length mirror door. You and your family will feel like kings and queens with these amenities!

THE EXTRA UNIT

The fourth bedroom opens up the opportunity for extra income by turning it into a luxury rental, ADU or use as an in-law unit or home office. It even has a private entryway, so you can be completely separate from your renters at all times! This unit features deep window casings, an exposed beam, and even a closet with an electric, rotating carousel for clothes. On top of that, the space has its own laundry station, cabinets and a workspace. The entire home has been permitted, so you have free reign to add electrical, plumbing, and any other updates you’d like to convert to an ADU.

THE FLOOR PLAN

The property’s open, airy floor plan was expertly designed to maintain a natural, functional flow throughout the house. We raised the ceiling in the entry so it is consistent with the vaulted ceilings and exposed beams in the living room and great room. By bridging these rooms, there is plenty of room to host a large gathering, and still separate them for privacy like in the living room where you have views, can add a grand piano, create a reading area, and so much more!

THE DESIGN

A lot of thought and hard work went into creating a modern country-style farm home with early 19th century charm.   We even named the property “3 Gables” because we created a roofline with 3 steeped gables to bring out the country-farm character.  To add to the theme, we added a white picket fence with an arbor and a white gate and entry path leading to high vaulted gable porch with a hanging carriage lamp, lighted steps, veranda railings.  We made the interior carry the farmhouse theme with high vaulted ceilings, wall sconces, and closet barn doors in the bedrooms. To add more country-inspired charm, the exterior features a light misty grey shiplap siding, white trim, and dark blue window shutters and craftsmen dark blue front door.
