The kitchen will be modernized, and designed for this century. This will also be the room you first enter from the outside. While this might not make sense to some. Imagine this. You went grocery shopping, you have 4-5 bags of groceries. What is the room you would rather walk into? Exactly. Since the kitchen has the entry point, it will allow you put your groceries away, and then walk into the hall to get to the other rooms. The entry door will have a Level Lock Pro which will have a number of features, and reduce the number of keys you would have to carry.
The refrigerator will be a standard refrigerator which will provide for the needed cooling space for the food. As with most refrigerators, the freezer will be top loading. I would have rather have a nicer refrigerator, but simply put, there is not enough space for such.
Next to the refrigerator, there will be some counter space. This is where I will likely place a microwave oven. The tenant will be responsible for their own microwave oven, and if they are buying, I will recommend a 1kwh microwave for best results. Next to that space will be the electric glass top stove. Since it is glass top, it will be much easier to clean the cooktop. However, for those that are used to gas stoves will have a slight learning curve, but since there is no gas line, there isn’t even an option for a gas stove, even if they tenant was willing to buy one. There will be needed adjustments for the oven. 400°F is 400°F whether from electric, or gas. Next to the stove, there will be a corner counter space for the tenant to decide what they will wish to have here. On the other side of that corner counter space will be the single tub sink with a sprayer hose. This will hopefully have a better impact on cleaning dishes while using less water. This is because the water bill will likely be a very expensive utility bill for me to pay. Next to the sink below the counter will be a washer-dryer combination. This is a single load machine, and recommended that you would run this machine at night before going to bed. The laundry machine will wash and dry in the same machine, and will require high efficiency laundry soap. The counter above the clothes washer will be a good place to host a coffee maker. There will be more counter space that can host kitchen appliances, or be used to eat at if the tenant acquires stools. Next that counter space will be an open door way to the living room.
There will be ceiling light. This will be controlled by a slider switch next to the doorway. There will also be under the counter light strips which can be turned on at night time to allow for not hainvg to turn the light on just to get some water. There is also a range hood for exhausting any smoke, or cooking odors. Since the light is in the ceiling, I will make sure a brand new LED light is installed into the ceiling. This will allow for the light (based on average use) to last 10 years without having to change the bulb. The light itself will be a 5 watt bulb which is more environmentally sound, but does not increase the cost of living for the tenant since electricity is included with their rent.
