A WOMAN'S PERSPECTIVE
Sarah found her ideal home plan, she
made a few tweaks and now it’s perfect!

Modifications by Sarah - a part-time account executive and full-time mom to a teenage daughter and 7- and 10-year-old boys. She and her husband are very active with their children’s sports and frequently host the kids’ after-game parties.

 

 


Modifications Sarah made to the Pinnacle:

  1. Squared off the kitchen and dining area to the back and extended the left exterior wall flush with the garage. This allowed Design Basics’ designer to create a large, open area ideal for casual entertaining. A curved island topped with columns defines the kitchen.
  2. Added a roomy prep pantry in the former laundry room’s spot, along with a mud room with lockers, a coat closet and a drop zone.
  3. Eliminated the step down to the great room and moved the door to the back yard to the great room. Moved the fireplace to the side wall to provide a bigger view and added built-in entertainment centers.
  4. Squared off the back of the master bedroom to gain space and added a coffee bar.
  5. Turned the toilet area in the master bath to create a bigger linen closet.
  6. Converted the formal dining room to a family activity room with a washer/dryer, a bench beneath the window, a broom closet and ample cabinets and counters for working on hobbies. A larger coat closet was inset in one wall.
  7. Created a private bath and a walk-in closet in Bedroom 2.
