Residential Homes

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.

Large wrap around covered porches, ubiquitous for that area, are prominently used on the front of this home. The enclosed widow's walk, accessed by ladder, elevates far above the property offering spectacular views of Cedar Creek  as well as being a great space to just get away. With an in-home office, there seems to be little reason to leave this wonderful home.

This ranch home with a split 3 bedroom design sits on a partial basement with separate access directly from the garage and from the main stairway off of the great room as well. Lynn designed an in-law suite over the garage to be somewhat removed from the other living areas to providing for a private get-away.

This colonial styled two-story home has the appeal of homes from a bygone era yet provides the owners with today's modern amenities. The curved stairway off of the central hall provides for an elegant entry and the uniquely painted dining room ceiling gives the illusion of being endless sky. The side entry 3-car garage is located in the rear of the home as to not detract from the stately beauty of this home.
