Custom LABhaus in Southern New Jersey

Built on a vacant lot in an established neighborhood, just steps from schools and shopping, the home features 2438 sq ft of above-grade interior space and two car parking.

The first floor is generously laid out to provide for family living.  The sun-drenched kitchen is dominated by an over-scaled island and shares rear patio access with the adjacent family room.  The living and dining room feature a double-height gallery and massive windows to take advantage of the rear greenbelt.  The first floor also features a full guest bath, a private office or guest room, a rear vestibule entrance, and multiple closets to keep order.

The second floor features the family bedrooms, including a generous master suite, a large windowed laundry room, and a gallery open to the living room below.  The full basement offers 1301 sq ft of space for future expansion as a play room and art studio. The interior features the full standard LABhaus fittings package including sustainably forested 7″ select white oak plank flooring, custom stair cases, custom rift-sawn, grain-matched white oak cabinetry with solid-surface counter tops, and Jenn Air floating glass appliances with induction cooking.   The bathrooms feature Kohler stillness faucets, custom rift-sawn white oak cabinetry with under-mount sinks, white micro-crystal glass flooring, mosaic marble wet-bed showers, frameless glass shower doors, and honed marble accents.

Most impressively, the exterior shell is comprised of engineered wall systems with R40 (.025u) insulation.  This, combined with the high-efficiency packaged heat pumps, and energy-star fixtures throughout should result in exceptional low energy consumption

The LABhaus product line is sold throughout  the Mid-Atlantic through philaLAB.
