Wow! The Natural Light and View

By
Real Estate Agent with Dick Betts National Speaker SL3537832

The other night Michelle and I invited another couple to our home for the first time.  As soon as they walked in one of them said “wow, love the natural light and the view.”  I explained that both Michelle and I enjoy the openness of our home and wanted as much glass as possible, and we have it.  The picture with this article was taken from just inside our front door, when I looked at the picture I thought we do have a lot of glass!

During our remodels we decided we wanted more glass, over time a new 16’ slider and a 5’ slider were added.  Next was three stationery windows which are all glass, a 5’ and two 30” windows were installed.  According to code every room needs two points of egress, not a problem.  You might ask what about privacy, no problem, roller shades!

Good morning DIck. We had a home in Florida with mitered glass in the kitchen/family room area and the primary bedroom along with sliding glass doors across the length of the living room. Add high ceilings and high windows across the front of the home and light was not a problem. Window coverings a bit of a challenge. Enjoy your day.

Wow, what a transformation! You’ve done a fantastic job blending those upgrades to really showcase the view. It’s a great example of how intentional renovations can completely change the feel of a space. Thanks for the inspiration, Dick!

Looking across a room and seeing the daylight and the scenery is a far better alternative than a solid wall with photos.

Dick Betts I love a house with a lot of big windows. They make a house feel more welcoming.
