is it possible to get a layout description of the property?
Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately we don’t have layout plans for that house on file.
I absolutely loved the part of your article that showed an example of a large rustic kitchen that connected to an outdoor patio. This has always been what I imagined when I thought of basing my house around the idea of outdoor dining, which is something that my relatives really love. Once I find a construction contractor, I’ll make sure that we get something similar to this example when we start building the kitchen area.
