Jade Plan 4001, 1506 E Coconino Wy, Gilbert, AZ 85298

Throw a party, and everyone ends up in the kitchen, right? Here, the dining area is situated right between the kitchen and the great room, so all you really need to do is send out the invitations. And it’s not just friends—families reap the benefits of the opportunity to come together. If you’re anticipating longer guest lists, you can opt for the extended covered outdoor patio and the upgraded 12 ft. sliders or 16 ft. center-pull doors to open the kitchen up all the way to the outdoors. If you’re the one preparing the food, you’ll appreciate the upgrade for an executive kitchen with a double oven. When the party’s over, a retreat is in order—upstairs is the primary suite, two additional bedrooms, and a flexible loft space that can accommodate your office or your hobbies.
