*** KITCHEN & BREAKFAST NOOK - 24' deep X 12' wide (approx.) ***
Brand new "Giallo Antico" granite countertops with demi-bullnose edges. These photos don't show the beautiful beige, brown, black, and peach colors scattered within the 3 cm thick natural granite. The walls were just painted in the Kitchen and Master Bath. The extensive Crown Moldings and wood trim throughout the house including all baseboards were just painted. The new bisque color 80% granite/20% acrylic "Blanco" undermounted sink is 9 1/2" deep on the 60% side, and 8" deep on the 40% side. There is a brand new garbage disposal with all new pipes under the sink.
Granite sink color is "biscuit" to better match the new, full backsplash and countertop, and measures about 30" across, and 19" from front to back. The color goes all the way through the sink, and is hard to mar.
There is a good sized 5' 3" X 2' 3" Center Island. The"tunnel skylight" above it, has a view upwards that leads close to the high point of the roof. It is surrounded by fluorescent lighting for a bright kitchen. Four (full coverage) under cabinet fluorescent lights supply more direct lighting.

Dining Room has a 12 foot high ceiling, and a recessed tray ceiling with a large intercom/music speaker above.
*** "BOARDROOM" (term on Architectural Plan). It can be a MEDIA ROOM (with fiber optic, sharp picture Big Screen FiOS TV by placing large Flat Screen TV on the countertop in front of custom cabinets, or by having a custom theatre screen put in), or a FAMILY GAMEROOM, or a 2nd LIVING ROOM area - 20' deep X 14' 2" wide (approx.) ***
Without the conference table shown here, media room seating could be put in, and the cabinet area in front of the room could be removed or modified to hold an even taller than 60" flat screen TV (that takes up the entire space for a custom media room)! But either way, you could have "DINNER and the THEATRE" right in your own home!!

Huge room with 12' cathedral ceiling has many windows to let natural light in and see many trees out front.
Snacks like the "Movie Theatre Popcorn" on the table, or dessert, could be enjoyed while viewing Big Screen FiOS TV with that fiber optic sharp picture. It would be an amazing "DINNER and the THEATRE" experience!

Custom Feature - Air Conditioning Vents in ceiling are not right on top of the bed area, so as to alleviate potential sinus problems from having cold air blowing directly on your face at night. But, since one of two zoned A/C units is close to the two vents in the ceiling, plenty of cold/warm air circulates throughout the room. The house also has two thermostatically controlled power exhaust vent fans on the roof for extra cooling. Black Out Blinds on every window/door prevent "lightning flashes" from disturbing your peace. There is also a French door leading to the patio area.

This good size bedroom is in the front of the house, and is large enough for kids to have a desk, TV, computer, toys, and other personal things. It was used by us as the family office. It has a dead bolt lock on the door besides the regular door lever handle for extra protection. Brick on the house's mailbox out front (seen through window) is the same as the 117 Trailwood Lane's brick. It is unique in all of Pecan Ridge Estates for that reason, as well as for having two mail units connected to one big door for extra wide magazines, etc., since the divider was removed as a welcome gift to me by the Post Office for being the first to live in Pecan Ridge Estates!
