New home photos

For the past 10 months my brother and I have been building a new custom home for Mr. & Ms. "W".  We put the finishing touches on it today, and tomorrow their family is moving in.  It has 6,000 square feet of living space, plus an over-sized 3-car garage, a large covered patio, an upstairs balcony, and a 600 sq. ft. unfinished bonus room suitable for future conversion.  It is valued at $1.3M (Dallas money, as opposed to California money or Manhattan money....BIG difference).  As promised, photos (you can left click to enlarge if you wish):

The front facade is mainly native stone, with brick accents.

Entry is through a pair of 9' tall custom steel doors with wrought iron accents.

The foyer features a curving staircase leading up to a Juliet balcony.

The view from the Juliet balcony.  The space above the door is a reading room accessible from the upstairs "children's study".

To the left off the foyer is the study.  NOTE:  These photos were taken before the wood floors had their final application of polyurethane sealer.

To the right off the foyer is the formal dining room.

Further back is the family room with views of the rear yard, and open to the kitchen, too.

Ahh...the kitchen.

The kitchen features true gourmet-quality appliances....Wolf range, ovens (3), warming drawer, and microwave, 48" Sub-Zero refrigerator, Asko dishwasher, plus an instant hot water dispenser, a pot-filler over the range, etc.  

And a pantry in need of....everything.

A hallway behind the kitchen connects to a mother-in-law suite with en suite bath....

...and a media room / home theater.  The electronics will come later.

The utility (futility?) room....

...and a small mud room for the "chirren"...

...accessible directly from the 3-car garage.

That's enough for now.  I'll bore you with more later.   :)
