Very nice space. It’s clear you put a lot of planning into it. The utility room is a huge advantage- gets the noisy compressor in another room and stores a lot of crap that you wouldn’t want to negotiate around in the main area. I love it.
Also the lift decision makes sense. The amount of time it would outshine your midrise would be minimal, and as you said, it depends on what your future projects look like anyway.
The oak does look jarring but you could probably respray it white in an hour and they would disappear. Beats busting out another $5-8k for Gladiator stuff.
Let’s see some shots from outside!
