The Process

What began as a modest bungalow was thoughtfully transformed into a craftsman-inspired home shaped around creativity, family life, and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. While much of the original exterior walls and foundation were preserved, the interior layout was reimagined to dramatically improve flow and function. A new two-story entry leads into an expanded kitchen and dining area and a light-filled living room defined by vaulted ceilings and expressive wood gable brackets. The ridge beam extends outward to a generous covered deck and porch, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor experience with sweeping views of the wooded backyard.

The addition allowed spaces to be tailored precisely to the homeowners’ lifestyle. A private primary suite includes a spacious walk-in closet and a luxurious bath, while a hardworking mudroom, pantry, and oversized laundry room support daily routines. Creative pursuits were central to the design: a vaulted art studio with a storage loft provides a serene workspace, complemented by a dedicated music room. The finished basement adds another layer of living space with a large recreation room, two-sided fireplace, kitchenette, fitness room with sauna space, and an adjacent bath—resulting in a home that feels both expansive and deeply personal.
