Slow Food: Explore the Kitchen

We took down the wall between the kitchen and the dining room, which had literally been cutting the best space of the house in half. Now, it's just one beautiful, open space where families can cook dinner, listen to music, work on computers, and help the kids with their homework all in the same space.

• Updated kitchen with butcher block countertops, bead-board ceilings and new appliances (dishwasher, slide-in gas stove/oven, energy efficient refrigerator)
• An amazing amount of storage and pantry space
• Craftsman style woodwork and refinished hardwood floors
• Open space for family between kitchen and dining room

Love. And Other New Updates to Home.

We have put a lot into this house the last few years. Lots of love, and some other things too.

• There are newer mechanicals throughout including high efficiency furnace, central air, hot water heater, water softener.
• The electrical was updated with 200 amp circuit breakers. Knob and tube wiring was replaced.
• New roof in 2014.

• New second floor master suite (see Master Sweet post)

Second Floor - Master Sweet

Sorry, we couldn't help ourselves. The master suite is really, er, sweet. And special. Taking up 80% of the second floor (with accessible storage being the other 20%), it calls you with a warm bath by candlelight and amazing (controllable) natural light in the morning.

• The second floor, less than two years old, was created with meticulous detail to match the craftsman styling throughout the house.
• Spacious master suite with 4 skylights and three box windows that let in bright natural light. The four skylights each include a remote controlled, solar-powered darkening shade.
• Full bath with whirlpool tub.
• Significant amounts unfinished storage spaces.
• 12 large, finished soft-closing large drawer built-ins for linens and toiletries.
• Cork floors cushion each step and provide sound insulation from the main floor.

More Than a Family Room

The basement is an important part of your life on West Lawn (especially in winter). Sunday Packer games, working out, chasing the dogs, and playing with kids. Even folding laundry and ironing shirts can be special in this amazing space.

• Massive finished family room (great for exercise equipment, TV, playing, and lounging)
• Laundry room with half-bath
• Astonishing amount of unfinished storage space with numerous, very spacious, custom built shelves.
• Workshop / tool room.
