Plan #2-Before & After




Allow me to introduce our long-awaited, frequently-requested and oh-so magnificent 1st Fl Master Plan.  You know, if we do say so ourselves.   

At our feedback session in April, I got lots of inquiries about this plan.  This is the one to watch.  Of all the plans, we definitely spent the most time refining this plan, trying to get into the mind of this buyer.  Chances are this isn't their first home-they know what they like and what they don't.  We guessed some don't want to sacrifice any of the high-end features they may have had in their last home and we guessed some might be coming from a larger home...then we asked ourselves:

Where do they want the most space?  [cue large and multiple entertaining areas] 
Who else might be living here?  [cue the giant in-law suite and optional bedroom upstairs] 
Where will they spend the most time?  [hopefully in the family rm-kitchen-dining spaces with the 11' ceilings]

What special features can we offer that will totally surprise and delight them?  [how 'bout a walk-in-closet the size of a bedroom?  an outdoor entertaining area with floor to ceiling windows?  a delux spa shower with a rain head?]  

We decided to call this one 'The What Now?' since we designed this plan for anyone in transition:  maybe the kids are getting older and you're ready for a little separation of space (what now?)...maybe the kids are moving out (what now?)...maybe the kids are moving back in (what now?)...maybe parents are moving in (what now?) or maybe, just maybe, all you really want to do is transition to a huge spa shower.  Welcome to The What Now.
