Upscale Farmhouse Transformation Complete

New Family Room looking toward existing house/kitchen

Addition- New Family Room

From a blue-vinyl sided two-story, we now have a unique and beautiful custom home with soaring, sunny spaces, large interior & exterior living rooms connecting to views indoors & out, new radiant flooring, wood paneled ceilings, built-in shelving, arches, columns, & window seat, open wood stairway, all new kitchen and bathrooms, and 2 gas fireplaces.

We didn't just tack on an addition; the look of the existing home was completely transformed inside and out. See the before and after pictures of some of the spaces that weren't in the addition. With additional roofs and over hangs, new window patterns, classy materials, and modern colors and lighting, the entire place has been given an upgrade inside and out. The functionality of the home was changed to be bright, gracious and comfortable- with a cook's kitchen, formal dining room, window seat, butler's pantry, walk-in closets, soaring first floor master suite, warm family room with fireplace, and outdoors-y screened porch and near-the-pool recreation room with bar.

Now it is all done and ready for move-in day. And needless to say, we didn't completely rework the building envelope just for looks- this home is going to be efficient to power and maintain - we added continuous insulation and did a lot of air sealing under that maintenance-free Hardi siding. We also added insulation board in the basement and spray foam in the attic, ensuring all duct-work for the new high efficiency HVAC system is located in conditioned space. Energy Star windows by Marvin Integrity, and a radiant floor heat system contribute to the comfort inside. Maintenance-free synthetic decking,railing, and trim material were used. All in all, the up-keep and resource used to heat and cool this new, larger structure may not even be as much as the original house used in utilities for it's smaller area, while being more comfortable and cozy year round.
