When our client bought their lot in Broken Top they did not build for years. Living in San Diego,they decided in 2011 to build a vacation home/ future retirement abode. Their vision included a welcoming single level with relaxing Master bedroom and bath, a kitchen/living/dining space to entertain family and friends, and an outdoor living space to enjoy the sunsets.Their vision became reality!! It also includes a wonderful second bedroom perfect for guests, with a separate entrance and a private bath with walk-in shower. The third bedroom doubles as an office with lots of windows.
The home is rustic from the front. Upon entering one notices the open floor plan and contemporary kitchen design as well as the beautiful rock fireplace and abundance of light. An extra-large island in the kitchen includes a wine cooler, bar sink, and eating area. The décor of the home is comfortable and warm. And the stunning dark Acacia wood flooring runs throughout the main living area.
This home is 3210 square feet on a single level. Natural mature landscaping surrounds the home giving it a settled-in feeling. This is a perfect home for retirees who host guests, or a small family. In this case,the couple will use it as their vacation get-away with retirement in their scope.

Luxury Vinyl Planks are a great option for water areas like bathrooms, basements, and kitchens. The technology is advancing so that the product looks and feels like natural products like wood and stone.

After years of working in their dark, cramped Kitchen, these Bala Cynwyd homeowners decided it was time to make a very big change. Rather than leave a house they loved, these retirees decided to maximize the space available and selectively add square footage with an eye toward aging-in-place. The result was a series of bright, open spaces with high ceilings and plentiful natural light. The former garage was converted to a flexible room that is currently being used as a cozy Sitting Area. When needed, this space will transition into a Ground Floor Bedroom with full access to the newly landscaped rear yard. An adjacent Bathroom completes the future Bedroom Suite and was designed with a zero-entry shower in addition to other ‘hidden’ accessibility features. The new Kitchen reflects the owners’ simple modern aesthetic with windows and skylights strategically placed to capture some of their favorite exterior views. The washer and dryer were relocated from the basement and seamlessly incorporated into a new Mudroom located immediately off of the Kitchen, fulfilling the possibility of single-story living in a two-story home.

This modern-style executive home takes full advantage of the views and rocky terrain. The homeowners are retirees whose goal was to build a home that they could age in place in. Taking their needs into consideration, we created a large open concept design that takes advantage of the natural light and scenery while enabling the owners full accessibility throughout. All the primary rooms are located on the main floor with guest and additional spaces on lower floors. All door widths were increased and a roll thru shower was installed to allow for wheelchair accessibility if required in the future. The entire house is controlled by a state of the art iPad home automation system controlling media, mechanical systems, lighting & security.
"Light & Bright" are the items our client wanted us to focus on, with "Light" we wanted to capture as much as natural light from the large windows as possible. As for "Bright" we kept most of the finishes grey and white and clean. Pops of colour and warm hardwood flooring tie the entire space together.
