Flexible Features

The dryer also offers flexibility, by combining a conventional large capacity dryer with a delicate dryer so everyday items and delicate garments can dry at the same time.

Safety First

A carbon monoxide detector on the ceiling of the laundry room that uses electrochemical sensing technology offers highly accurate and early detection of the invisible but deadly gas. Dangerous levels of carbon monoxide will trigger both the sensor’s internal audible alarm and the siren in the home’s security system.

Handsome Hallway

A look towards the front of the house from the laundry room highlights the hallway’s millwork, with paneling painted the same white used for the trim throughout the home. The charming wallpaper above the paneling is covered in white birch trees with a blue-gray background. “This big hallway gives the home a great Craftsman feel,” says project manager Scott Branscom.
