  • On the main floor, the dining room is 2 feet larger by creating a niche for a hutch or buffet
  • The cased opening between the family room and the kitchen is now 5 feet wider to create a more open floorplan
  • The direction of the stairs was reversed for safer accessibility into and out of the elevator
  • Perimeter cabinets and island were redesigned and the hutch relocated
  • Master suite redesigned creating a more open feeling between the sitting area and the bedroom.  A dressing area was created between the two walk-in closets.  A totally redesigned master bath.
