We recently visited Huntington Park subdivision with homes that range in price from the $400's - $600's+. These homes had loads of great details inside and out. The lot sizes ranged from around 1/3-3/4 acre and were primarily on mildly rolling terrain. They were located on beautiful, wooded acreage to say the least. It's a shame to see these old homesteads turn into subdivisions, one by one, but free choices are made and progress marches on.

The orientation of the kitchen, in relation to the living room area, within the home is particularly important for those that entertain guests on a regular basis but it is a really nice feature for busy families, as well. It's nice to be able to come home from work and prepare a meal and not feel cooped up, while the rest of the family may be winding down in another area of the home. This home has an efficient work area and has a very clear view of the keeping room over a raised, open counter that is open on both ends and comprised of deep, dual stainless sinks. Standing at the sink you can enjoy the company of others while preparing dinner or drinks. There is a nice-sized breakfast room located on the right and the keeping room with fireplace located on the left. There is also a built-in desk and an island for a little extra counter space. Very nice overall design!
There is a Jenn-Air countertop gas range with 6 burners with cast iron grates that should keep any cook happy and make the cooking process as efficient as possible. A Jenn-Air dual convection wall oven is also included in this gourmet kitchen. And, of course, there is a Jenn-Air microwave oven located above the gas range. When dinner is done and everyone's belly is happy then it's time to throw the dirty dishes in the Jenn-Air stainless steel dishwasher.
Hardwood floors in kitchens seem to have taken off in recent years due to advances in the resiliency of finishes. We have hardwood floors in our kitchen and are very pleased with the look, feel and investment aspects of having had them installed. This home had oak hardwood flooring installed that was stained as a natural compliment to the cabinetry.
The 9 ft. ceilings will allow a homeowner to put a great looking pot rack over the island if they so desire. It also lends a very open feel to the entire area. The keeping room off of the kitchen has a vaulted ceiling with bead board installed on the ceiling itself. That's a nice feature that you don't see everyday.
This is truly a kitchen that you can work in and enjoy preparing meals for friends and family.

Amy...
Thanks for bringing the broken link to my attention. Try this link to Frigo Designs if you haven't found it on-line already.
I was so excited when I read the above comment about the custom stainless panels. I want a completely new fridge, but my double ovens are still really nice and I hate to pay all that money just to switch to stainless.
However, when I found the custom panels link on the frigodesign site, the link was broken. :( But at least I know such a thing exists! Thanks!
Lynnette...here's a link that may just allow both of you to be happy by possibly converting to stainless before moving to a new house, if you wish. A company called Frigo Design manufactures stainless steel panel conversion kits for your current appliances. They also offer fingerprint-less panels to address your concerns. They also offer sports teams panels, chalkboard panels, real wood panels and metallic finish panel sets. They're being featured on Discovery Channel's "The Christopher Lowell Show", Better Homes & Gardens, HGTV and a few other publications. If you really want to spruce up your kitchen and go all out they also offer backsplashes, cabinet door kits and countertops and you can choose from copper or brass, as well.

We've been toying with the idea of going to all stainless steel appliances in our next home.
My husband's all for it, but I'm the hesitant one. All I can think of are the fingerprints & smears, and how "industrial" it could make the place look.
Until now we've always had white-on-white appliances and I love the "clean" look. But these Jenn-Aire appliances look REALLY nice... especially with darker wood cabinets (we've always had white).
Perhaps I'm ready to make the switch!
