This home had lots of craftsman charm that the owners didn’t want to lose, but they wanted a home that functioned like a new home with all the conveniences and upgrades! We were able to enlarge the kitchen so that it would easily accommodate two chefs and soon to be toddler.
The dining area is now perfectly appointed for entertaining, complete with wine cooler and bar for easy access.
The main floor also now has a multi-function space of either an office or perhaps a future main floor bedroom. Both spaces we were able to keep the original glass doors and door hardware and hinges. We painstakingly restored many of the hinges and doorknobs on the original doors that we were able to keep. By maintaining the coved ceilings, wood trim and carefully adding new materials there is an equal balance in design of old and new.
The upstairs now offers two nice-sized bedrooms with proper closets. We were able to reclaim unused space to create a nice master en suite with heated tile floors.
The basement was fully redesigned with a new floor plan and now offers a guest suite with en suite, additional bedroom and large dedicated laundry room with family room.
