Project Description

The owner’s of this home desired a master bedroom and bath on the ground floor but were not wishing to move from the neighborhood they were very fond of. They contacted us to see what the prospects were for fitting the addition on the site. We were able to determine what portion of the lot was available for the addition by researching the records for the property and obtaining the old neighborhood covenants on the Recorder’s website.

After several floor plans were proposed the owner’s settled on an option that included expansion of the front porch and additional storage space on the second level. The addition also includes features such as a custom ceramic steam shower, heated floors in the bath and his & her large walk-in closets. As is the case with additions to homes built in a different era, we took particular care to match the style of construction that was used when the home was originally built.

An upgrade to the h.v.a.c. system,  incorporated with the new equipment for the addition, was among the upgrades to the existing home that were included in this project.
