Our home was custom built which we worked on the design for 10 years. It is perfect for casual and formal entertaining inside and out. Our house was built for kids, big groups and our focus was primarily on the kitchen where everyone loves to gather. Our kitchen is very large which is great for everyone pitching in with meal prep while enjoying appetizers or gathering for morning coffee and breakfast...plenty of room for every meal scenario! Our kitchen and den also spill out nicely to back porch area with outdoor/indoor speakers, which is great for relaxing lakeside. Our home is also very child friendly with lots for them to do...lots of games to choose from, game table area upstairs, a dress up closet, movies, books, play station, outdoor games and a Pac Man machine!
