    Does the street pass the pool? - I would like build a pool in my front yard and I was wondering how this layout works for privacy?
    · · Comment · 10 days ago

    Cornerstone Architects The layout for this home was dictated by the corner lot and the ordinances in this particular area, in order to maximize the size of the home as well as the outdoor areas. Ultimately the layout allowed for a large side yard (with space enough for a patio and grilling area, pool, garden and washers court), a detached garage with storage on the other side, and a small courtyard off the dining room. The clients love the home, and as a featured residence in the local AIA Homes Tour last year, it has been extremely well-received by the public as well.

    stonema CMR-You don't know anything about me or my property. My property is over an acre. I live in an exclusive neighborhood where many homes have pools, tennis courts, and horse stables in the front yard. You are a fool and should ask questions before you spout off.

    ihv2go I love the stain. The local web examples I've been viewing look redish (TX). This one appears to be a black/brown color. Do you remember the color of the stain? Thanks for taking the time to explain concrete flooring.
