Though I don’t hate my townhome here in Ashburn, I don’t love it either. It’s adequate, but not exciting. Plus it shares a wall with others which hasn’t always worked out so well for me.
While on a recent trip to Arizona, my wife and I had some time on our hands so we thought it’d be fun to tour some model homes in the Phoenix area. We settled on checking out a development by Fulton Homes and off we went.
I don’t know when or if I’ll ever have the chance to get a new customized house in such a development, but we absolutely fell in love with the floorplan pictured below.
It’s such a perfect use of space. So many of the models we looked at had formal dining rooms or two living rooms. Wasted space. I have little ambition to host a fancy dinner. We don’t even have a complete set of china to serve it on.
The front Den would be outfitted with blackout curtains, surround sound and a nice big television; 55″ or so should suffice. The bonus room would be floored with the same flooring as the garage for climate controlled storage and cat litter boxes. Ideally, I’d put a door that led from there to the garage.
The master shower is a glass block shower. It’s awesome. It’s not a container like other showers. You just walk into it. You don’t have open a door or any such nonsense.
The kitchen is large but not overly so, and the pantry is absolutely amazing in its size. There is no shortage of places to store dishes and food.
I’m not sure if a house such as this is a goal or a dream, but I like it enough to blog about it. That’s something.
