Budget Bungalow
interior & exterior renovation plus addition
Original SF 976 | New 1971 SF
Originally a compact 3 bedroom design, the goal for this project was to create more living space for a growing young family. A 2-story addition was designed to span the vacant space between the existing home and garage, more than doubling the home’s square footage. By moving the existing stairway and completely reworking the main floor, we were able to create an ideal floor plan and drastically increase the main living areas. The old front porch was enclosed to create a proper front entry, and a new mudroom was built to provide efficient access to the garage and back yard. The original kitchen was converted to a spacious laundry room, and large windows were placed throughout the home to invite more natural light. Large dormers in the addition keep the design from feeling top-heavy and allowed us to provide two new bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor. Finally, new covered porches in the front and the back give the family welcoming spaces to sit and enjoy the outdoors.
