KITCHEN AND FAMILY ROOM AREA

The kitchen and family room were gutted from sub-flooring to the rafters and the original dropped ceiling in the kitchen was raised.  Task lighting was installed along with a faux lighted skylight; however, the Garden Window provides an abundance of natural lighting. Granite counters and eat-at bar surround this cook’s paradise, and the natural cherry cabinetry was custom-designed to use every inch of space.  This includes a recycling cabinet, pull and roll-out corner shelving, lighted open shelving, and both covered and custom-designed glass doors).  All drawers pull out entirely, eliminating unusable space in the rear, and include drawers for pots and pan, herb/spices, utility (under the sink), staples, plastic wrap/bags, etc.  There are three “hidden” cabinets provide storage under the bar.  The cherry-covered appliances (except for the Frigidaire Gallery Series double convection ovens) include a GE Profile Artica refrigerator with icemaker/crusher and water dispenser, an Ultra-Quiet III Frigidaire Gallery Dishwasher, a Frigidaire Gallery Five-Burner Gas Cooktop, with disappearing Dacor exhaust fan, a KitchenAid Supurba Trash Compactor.  Other appliances include a Sharp Carousel under-counter microwave, Dishmaster faucet unit with soap dispenser, Ever-Hot water dispenser, and Drinking Water Tap.  A reverse osmosis water purification system connects to the icemaker and tap water).

Designed to compliment the beauty of the Kitchen, the Family Room has a handsome lighted, built-in china/breakfront style natural cherry cabinet with custom-designed glass doors, some open shelving, pull-out file drawers, cabinets (which can hide a shredder and daily newspapers).  The granite trim coordinates with the kitchen counters.  In addition, there is built-in corner shelving (each shelf has outlets), a built-in computer desk (with drop keyboard tray), under-counter pull-out drawer supply cabinet (used for the printer materials), and a wall-mounted six-door cabinet.  The floor is marble and ceramic tile.  The wide sliding doors leading out to a balcony were replaced, and a structural engineer approved the condition of the balcony prior to our having it waterproofed/sealed and having the ceramic tile continued out on to the balcony.

In addition to multiple ceiling task lighting and interior cabinet lighting, there is energy -saving lighting above and below all the cabinets---all of which are controlled by dimmer switches.

THE MASTER BATH/DRESSING ROOM

This one-of-a-kind designed Master Bathroom includes a raised Crema Marfil polished marble counter and high back-splash finished with ogee bull-nose edge detail on a hand-crafted/carved cabinet.  The double sinks have brushed nickel hook-necked faucets, and are separated with a center vanity that includes a pull-out drawer; the under sink cabinets have pull-out drawers with hidden electrical outlets.  The Ultra Bain tub (with a brushed-nickel French-style faucet, has a heated backrest and self-cleaning jet cycle) sits on a raised stone platform.  Centered in a medallion overhead is an antique chandelier; however, ceiling lights provide for reading.  A full stone and glass enclosed shower boasts both a Grohe System adjustable, detachable style head and a ceiling mounted rain shower.  Two alcoves are architectural features that enhance the elegant design while adding function.  The toilet room has a raised Toto toilet with silent seat lid closure, towel shelves, and a space-saving pocket door.  All lighting fixtures are energy efficient and have dimmers.  All fixtures, towel racks, rings, hooks are brushed

nickel.  A Laing Autocirc (Instant Hot Water Pump) under one sink limits the need to run water for long periods before it gets hot).  A marble floor and two large, double-door mirrored closets complete this lovely dressing room/salle-de-bain. 

GUEST BATHROOM

Step into this soothing silver-green marble bathroom with a large frameless glass-enclosed shower, complete with built-in seating, custom shelving, a Grohe System (hand-held height-adjustable shower and four force-adjustable jets).  The “Lido Collection” vanity has a marble top with custom edging.  The matching Lido mirror floats on the wall above the vanity between two Belcaro lights; a magnifying makeup mirror is mounted on the adjacent wall.  This bath has a Panasonic exhaust fan and a high Kohler toilet.  Crown molding and all brushed nickel fixtures, including double-hung towel holders and hooks, complete this spa-like bath.

ENTRY-LIVING ROOM

The entry to this handsome remodel has a two-story mirrored wall that adds light and interest as it repeats the image of the unique chandelier; it includes access to the garage and has a full-size cloak closet.  The comfortable living room is complete with a marble surround fireplace, wet bar alcove with cabinets, drawers and shelving.  A huge dramatic framed mirror hangs above the fireplace and reflects the lighting from the two large skylights in the vaulted ceiling.  The Crema Marfil marble floor is easy to maintain and lends a luxurious background to the furnishings.

DINING ROOM

This large dining room can accommodate a table for 8-10 and large breakfront and china cabinet.  A mirrored wall (from floor to ceiling and wall to wall), reflects light from the large window.  The Crema Marfil marble floor is elegant and easy to maintain.  Because of its great size, some homeowners have switched this room for their family room and used the family room for their dining room.  The marble floor continues down a hallway leading to a half-bath, complete with crystal chandelier.  The washer and dryer are located on one side of the hallway, and upper and lower cabinets and a convenient Corion countertop are located on the opposite side.

PATIO

A master bricklayer designed this patio with it’s multi-level corners and long bench seat, along with the built-in gas grill, a cold-water sink (with storage), and a tiled bar area.  Old-world style pots surround the patio and hold a variety of plants and shrubs; the cascading water from the angel fountain helps to create a peaceful respite from the outside world.  In addition to Malibu lights, a chandelier adds a touch of elegance for outdoor dining.
