The owners of this Cape
Cod salt box wanted to up their home's curb appeal, and square footage.
A smart 950 sq. ft. Craftsman-style addition succeeded in doing both.
Moving the front door informs the rest of the program. The larger foyer,
with its open stairwell and knee walls creates visual communication
between the living and dining rooms. Arts-and-crafts detailing
throughout redefine the tone inside. Upstairs, two new bedrooms and a
new bath make room for the growing family. Adding a big dormer upstairs
gives more space to an existing bedroom and contributes to the improved
facade. The exterior also gets a detailed paint scheme, cedar-shake
siding, and mahogany front door. A copper-roofed portico, extending just
far enough to welcome visitors and passersby completes the gracious
transformation.
