Our charge
This mature client with grown kids wants to create a weekend getaway for their family and extended relatives. They found this modest house in a picture perfect location and decided they could fix what was not working for them. First off they want a master bedroom suite on the first floor level which requires an addition. Having used the home as-is for the 1st year they owned it, they found they “lived” in the kitchen & living room with their great views and southern exposure. The front facing dining room was rarely used.
With this in mind, we expanded and remodeled the kitchen & living room to provide for living, dining, and social activities. We converted the original dining room into a laundry room and a ski room. At the second floor we were able to create two bedrooms and two bathrooms utilizing the space occupied by the original master suite and by adding a dormer at front roof line.
