THE BLACK-AND-WHITE THEME REPEATS
THROUGHOUT THE HOME.
Manak has both of those bases
covered with his choice of luxury
vinyl wide-plank flooring in a
natural wood tone. It covers
most of the main floor and, in an
unconventional move, he also
used it upstairs — in the hallway,
open loft area, laundry room and
all three second-floor bedrooms.
"It has a nice hardwood look,"
he says, adding more clients
are going against the grain and
dispensing with wall-to-wall
carpet in bedrooms after seeing
how they look with a beautiful
bare floor.
"The majority of our clients are
now asking for luxury vinyl."
The 2,111-square-foot house at
7 Sheilagh Ball Cove also shows
off a variety of tile styles in its
three bathrooms. Large-format
black octagonal floor tiles appear
in the second-floor family bath
and in the full main-floor bath
at the front of the house. In the
primary en suite, the same pattern
appears in small-format white
tiles on the floor, and in small
black tiles on the shower floor,
with a herringbone tile wall in the
shower and behind the stand-
alone bathtub.
The black-and-white theme
repeats throughout the home.
The extra-large primary en suite's
floating dual-sink vanity has black
cabinetry topped with a white
countertop, while the family bath
has a white vanity and black
countertop.
In the kitchen, an island with a
black base and white countertop
sits opposite a black range set
between black countertops with
white shaker-style cabinetry that
extends all the way to the ceiling.
