This handsome all white brick two-story home with a three car garage was constructed on our client’s property in Flowery Branch GA. The exterior of the home features ornamental wooden gable and roof brackets as well as a three-window dormer. The front entrance, with it glass double-doors, allows ample natural lighting into the foyer. The foyer leads to a formal office on the left with a glass paneled barn-door style opening. On the right of the foyer is a formal dining room with a craftsman style tray ceiling and a wood-inlaid designer wall. There are hardwood floors throughout the home. The family room features an exposed beam coffered ceiling and a stone fireplace flanked by built-in cabinets and bookshelves. The family room flows through to the kitchen with its designer cabinets and expansive island, which is suitable for both food preparation and a seating area. The horizontal double-oven and the six-burner stove have the convenience of a pot filler for gourmet cooking. The pantry has an exceptional amount of shelves and sliding baskets for storage. The master bedroom has a sitting area, tray ceiling, personal refrigerator and wet bar. The exquisite master bath includes a soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, his-and-hers vanity and a water closet. The massive master closet was designed with bountiful hanging and shelf space as well as a closet island and a fully lit dressing mirror. The home was built on a full basement which has interior walls and utilities roughed in for future expansion. This area also includes two more parking garage stalls. The outdoor living space provides many hosting and entertainment options with its covered patio and outdoor fireplace as well as the in-ground pool and hot tub.

The homeowners love to cook and they have many artifacts to display that they've collected from their traveling throughout the years. The doors and end panels of the cabinetry were custom crafted with an "X" pattern to match the style of barn doors. The sliding barn door at the end of the island opens up to reveal a pantry. -Allison Caves, CKD Caves Kitchens
