Caroll 3
Job Narration
The Carroll 3 was designed and built for Charlie & Mary Ellen Carroll (and their teenage son) upon Charlie’s retirement from the Baltimore Maryland Fire Department. The Carroll’s desired a master separated from the main living areas of the home complete with a large master bath, separate his and her’s toilet rooms (a first for me), and plenty of closet space. Separating the master is a mechanical closet which doubles as a sound buffer. The centrally located kitchen is clustered with the dining room, gathering room, dine-in kitchen area, and great/game room all conveniently located in proximity to the covered lanai and backyard pool. The downstairs bedroom #2 provides quiet quarters with private bath for visiting friends from up North. The upstairs bedroom serves the Carroll’s teenage son with walk-in closet, private bath and separate towel/linen storage. The bathroom off the great/game room doubles not only as a guest bath, but serves as the pool bath as well, tucked away on the side of the home for maximum privacy. A number of my more recent cutting-edge design concepts are incorporated in this home, specifically, enormous box attic storage over the garage, valet area for cell phones, mail, purses, and all the “stuff” everyone searches to place somewhere upon entering their home at the end of the day, and a home office/study easily accessible from the front door allowing business associates to be easily received in the home office without walking through your home. Although highly customized, this design is easily changeable to meet your needs. This is one of my favorite homes!
