First house we've liked.

We found a house we really like! The plan needs work - we want a guest room on the main floor for in-laws, and I think it needs another bathroom upstairs. But the layout is pretty bang on, a great starting point.

Exterior - those pyramid posts gots to GO. This is a way too craftsman for me, and I don't want three garages (possible conversion to guest room). So, things must change.

Panaromic of the great room/kitchen. The wall is flat, with the windows on the left bowing out. I love the built ins around the fireplace. There is technically a breakfast nook between the great room and the kitchen, but with the island, I don't think we need to put anything in it. just leave it open.

Mud room needs the drop zone expanded to the right. 

Upstairs looking out from the master.

Master looking into bathroom. The bathroom, closet, bedroom, and laundry room work in a loop.

Panorama of closet. It's 'L' shaped, and to the left is Ryan's, the big on the right needs a chandelier and a round velvet ottoman. 

Laundry room on bedroom level

Kids full bath upstairs. I'd like a second, though. 

Bedrooms have cathedral ceilings.

View from entry. Dining room is to the right.

Dining room (what is that light fixture?). I'd like to push the window out into a bay to add more space. 

Kitchen looking through butler pantry and dining room to front door. 

A not wonky panoramic. Standing in the corner.

Standing on the other corner.

Basement for finishing later. It walks out, and to the right is an area for a full bath. 

I love it, but there is a LOT I would change. It'll come down to who can do what I want cheaper - this builder or a builder who does one just for us.
