Sammie and Rainia Washington relocated to the Washington region from Atlanta. While space is much harder to come by in this part of the country than in the South, they did their research to find a house with ample room to spread out, both indoors and outdoors.
The serene drive down Route 108 leading to a new development in Montgomery County hints at whats to come when entering Laytonsville Preserve, where the Washingtons moved last November. Large houses on one acre lots or more impressed them.
NVR Homes opened the luxury community last year and is now selling the first phase of 17 houses. Six have sold so far. Once completed, there will be three sections with about 60 houses in all. Each section has its own cul-de-sac.
The lot sizes and the area is what drew us to Laytonsville Preserve, Sammie said.
Double door entry: Laytonsville is a small, rural town near Gaithersburg and Olney, with a population of about 500. The landscape is still marked largely by farmland.
The development is about eight miles from Georgia Avenue.
There are five floor plans, including the Regents Park II, which is the model home and one of the largest plans offered. This house, along with many of the other plans, has an elevation that comes with a grand double-door entry.
The Regents Park II has four bedrooms, five bathrooms and a center hall floor plan that separates the formal living room from the formal dining room. Arched entryways from both the dining room and foyer lead into the spacious family room.
The model showcases a number of standard and optional features offered by the builder. The sunny kitchen has a center island that doubles as a breakfast bar and white cabinets contrast nicely with the dark granite countertops.

The dream
In our prerenovation home, my husband, Dan, and I made the most of our small, dated kitchen by painting the oak strip cabinetry, adding modern hardware and installing black-and-white vinyl tiles in a snazzy striped pattern. Although it had some charm, I was forever dreaming of a bigger kitchen with a better layout, more storage space, stone countertops and somewhere for guests to gather.
The snag
When transforming our bungalow into a three-storey home, we kept the kitchen in the same location to save on costs. To open it up, we took down a wall and extended the room to the very front of the house. The new kitchen had much more space and offered the chance to put the sink under a window, for daydreaming.
Still, there were a few things to work around: a corner that stuck out because of the staircase to the basement, duct work above the stove that needed to be hidden, and our desire for a bit of separation from the new entryway.
We used IKEAs kitchen planning software to fiddle around with different layouts, ending up with a peninsula rather than an island, the classic work triangle of stove-fridge-sink, and plenty of room to have multiple people in there at once.
The result
For countertops, we splurged on quartz with interesting, but subtle, veining that brings grey and white together. I wish I could have used the same quartz for the backsplash, but budget-mandated simplicity resulted in an elongated, textured white tile all the way up to the ceiling. Gold hardware adds a bit of glam to the space, and having some glass-fronted upper cabinets lets me display some of my favourite pieces.
I was won over by IKEAs modern design and great prices for cabinetry, and chose a shaker-style door with grey lowers and white uppers. We have yet to install the hood vent (it took a while to find one with the right dimensions), but I can see the finish line.
Having space for my husband and me to prep dinner at the same time with our daughter running around at our feet has been such a nice change. The kitchen has become the hub of our home, and we couldnt be happier.

The quaint Dutch colonial revival house in Columbus Westgate neighborhood is being renovated, with new drywall, new sinks, new vinyl flooring and kitchen countertops.
But no new windows. Though it would be easy to install vinyl replacements, a group of young preservationists will learn this weekend how to repair the wooden windows in the 90-year-old house on Binns Boulevard.
The Young Ohio Preservationists, a year-old group, has formed a partnership with Homes on the Hill, the local nonprofit that redevelops and builds houses for low- and middle-income residents on the West Side.
Homes on the Hill acquired the Binns Boulevard house from JPMorgan Chase last year. The house was in foreclosure, and Chase donated it.
This weekend, the house will be a workshop. Volunteers from the Young Ohio Preservationists, affiliated with Heritage Ohio, will learn how to install weatherstripping, repair weight ropes, replace broken glass and apply glazing techniques.
The house has 14 windows. Repairing the windows will cost about $2,500, including the training, while new vinyl windows would run $4,500 to $5,000, said Steve Torsell, Homes on the Hill executive director.
Just as important, the work will help maintain the character of the house in a neighborhood that prides itself on just that.
We celebrate that, said Betty Jaynes, president of the Westgate Neighbors Association. We have a lot of people who are moving to this area, who embrace these older homes.
Torsells niece, Rebecca Torsell, is a member of the young preservationists group and looking forward to its first project.
