The Racano's home is the Kirkwood model in The Highlands Club at Reeves, is a homeowners association community. Ownership in the community includes clubhouse amenities, lawn maintenance and snow removal. The four-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom house has 3,350 square feet of living space and is on 0.28 acres. Linda talks about the home:
“Our house is just short of six years old. It's a postmodern with an absolutely drop-dead open floor plan ... [The] enormous master suite is on the main floor ... so you can do all your living on one floor. We have a huge gourmet kitchen, a large breakfast room, a formal dining and a drop-dead great room with 20-foot ceilings and large windows on both sides of the fireplace ... There are three more bedrooms upstairs ... My favorite area is the U-shaped glassed-in room off the master suite. We use it as a sitting room year-round. It’s bright and sunny and overlooks the golf course. We have a large master bedroom with a custom wall unit, custom closets and an oversized master bath with a soaring ceiling and bay window and a Jacuzzi. [The house] overlooks a pond in the front ... Included with the house is $200,000 in window treatments and custom features like all the built-ins."
