Today's homes often include: open kitchens and family rooms, home offices that are designed for today's computers and used by multiple family members, private master retreats separate from secondary bedrooms, media rooms designed for today's large-scale TVs and over-sized garages large enough for your SUVs and trucks. Features and surfaces such as granite or solid-core surface kitchen countertops, whirlpool tubs, stainless steel appliances, glass block windows, remote control fireplaces, and an array of designer flooring are just a few of the new items available today that were not available or affordable in the past.
