If you’re a fan of real estate and home improvement shows, you’ve probably heard the adage, “kitchens and bathrooms sell houses.” Everyone has their own priorities, of course, but at Schumacher Homes we find that a dream kitchen is virtually always high on every homeowner’s list, which is why we take great care creating home plans with spacious, inviting kitchens that families love to spend time in, whether entertaining, cooking for the family, or even just doing the dishes.
We work with some of the country’s leading architects and designers to ensure our house plans reflect the latest functional and design trends. The kitchens anchor our homes’ open-concept living by eliminating partition walls, to allow clear lines of sight and movement into other parts of the house, so everyone can enjoy the delicious smells, and no one is left out of the conversation. The open concept is also enhanced by Schumacher’s 9-foot ceilings on the first floor, which are included in all our homes. We also keep the “kitchen triangle” in mind, incorporating efficient, functional layout concepts for traffic flow and use of space between preparation, cooking, and storage areas of the kitchen. Plenty of windows in and adjacent to the kitchen keep it filled with natural light throughout the day.
The Charleston Modern Farmhouse model home in Louisville, KY features a great example of an open, light filled kitchen, and its updated nod to a coffered ceiling emphasizes the room’s extra height – a stunning feature that can’t be retro-fitted in a pre-owned house.
The asymmetrical kitchen island in the Cleveland-Akron, OH Chesapeake IV model home exemplifies creative design, and the flexibility of space in an open-plan kitchen.
The colors and finishes in your Schumacher kitchen will be as unique as you are thanks to our design studio and its myriad choices, but there are some important features that all our kitchens have in common. Granite countertops, a stand-out feature in any kitchen, are included at Schumacher, and offer unmatched beauty and durability. Also standard are top-quality manufacturer 42 inches-tall upper cabinets, fitted with concealed, soft-close hinges, and trimmed with custom crown molding.
All these features are beautifully crafted for you to see during your visit to Columbia South Carolina’s Beverly II Carolina model home. The 42” upper cabinets and crown molding detail are further emphasized by their higher mount above the range hood, enhancing the drama of this kitchen’s vaulted, beamed ceiling. The bold veins in the kitchen island countertop also add visual interest to the room’s subtle color palate. In the Greensboro, NC Beverly II Modern Hill Country, the larger island is lit by three pendant fixtures – great lighting for both the task and dining uses of the island.
Many of our homeowners fall in love with the kitchens in our model homes, while others want to make changes to customize the kitchen to meet the needs of their family and their lifestyle. Some want to personalize their kitchens, to make them unique expressions of their family and traditions. We love seeing what they come up with, and as a truly custom builder, we encourage our customers to make the changes that will give them their dream-come-true kitchens.
At the design and pricing meeting, future homeowners work with their New Home Consultant to do just that, starting by walking through our superb, already-included features. After that, homeowners can change anything from the actual layout, size and location of the kitchen to cabinet configurations, island size and inclusions, lighting and flooring. The design studio offers choices to match any vision or décor style, from the romance of Lafayette Louisiana’s Olivia French Country to the most contemporary of modern farmhouse designs.
