This house was renovated and transformed in three phases over ten years. The initial projects was the addition of a screened in porch and deck as the original house did not take advantage of the wonderful garden. Three years later the first floor level was opened up including the design of a new kitchen. Seven years later the clients needed more bedrooms and wanted a spacious private master bedroom with a high ceiling and a home office. This was an opportunity to transform the personality of the house. The new addition above the garage and front gable changed the original house into an Arts and Crafts Dwelling, provided a more welcoming front entrance with a mudroom and had a secret stair up to the master bedroom with a ‘morning coffee nook’ and small balcony overlooking the garden to enjoy at the start of the day.
