I've reread one of the questions and I believe I am being asked what I did inside to match the quality of the outside - Some of the interior design elements include: hardwood flooring throughout the first and second floors (zero carpet. Stone tile for all bath floors and walls. Master Suite features 150 sf walk in closet, 250 sf in-suite master bath features Jacuzzi, steam shower, double vanity, and separate water closet. 9 zone on-floor heating (whole house has in-floor heating including garage, 2 zone AC system. 12 zone whole house stereo system, Upstairs and downstairs utility rooms both with washer/dryer hook ups. Kitchen has granite counter top, island, stainless steel appliances. Currently we have one fireplace (in library but will be adding another in the basement and I put a gas hook up in the master suite (still deciding on that one but have done all of the engineering. In-law suite with WIC and in-suite bath. Lots of recessed/accent lighting, Lutron dimmers, etc

Thanks for the very kind feedback. I've gotten some questions: 1 regarding the neighborhood - Our neighborhood has been undergoing an unbelievable and extensive transformation over the last ten years. We have attempted to make our size and style map to the "new" neighborhood. Most of the new or remodeled homes are about this size but some are a lot bigger. The lots in our around ours range from 1/2 to 2 acres, ours is 3/4. 2 Old to new matching - An overriding design goal has been to make the house seem like it was designed and build to be this way and not added on to (tough to do with starting with a three level split!. We've pretty much gutted the whole house so making the inside match up was pretty easy - a lot of work but it made the 'matching' pretty easy. 3 Interior posts - I will try to load up the sunroom/living room photos this evening (and provide a link. I'll also post some interior shots here.
