It’s a little bit challenging when you think about having your primary suite on the first floor. You can provide privacy even with windows on the front of our house. This is how we accomplished it. So there’s some obscured glass in both cases. Windows are up high. And we also have the zero threshold on the shower. So, easy access, the oversized door to get in and out of the shower without having to step over the curb.
Here we are in the primary bedroom where we have reading lights for their bedside, reading nook with great views to the backyard, and then French doors to the screen porch so they can keep these doors open when it’s a nice breezy night and get some good sleep.
