2005 Best Exterior Facelift

In a desire to update her lake home’s dated 70’s gingerbread appearance, the client’s goal was to totally update the home’s curb appeal with a carriage, or cottage type design. The front landscape was removed and the grade was raised around the perimeter of the porch to eliminate the front porch railings. New stone steps and matching retaining wall were also constructed. To continue the design, the porch columns’ pedestals and a water table were also built of stone. To add the finishing touch to the front, the entry door unit was replaced with a 12 lite French door unit. Another problem was the plain, dated garage face that is so prominent on the front of the house. The solution was to remove the starburst glassed garage doors, rebuild the openings and install new carriage garage doors. The glass at the top of the doors repeats the rest of the home’s window glass patterns. The lap siding was removed and housewrap was added before installing cedar shake to the entire face. Cottage shutters were installed for added character. This home now has a timeless beauty with the tones of tan and vanilla that really warm this exterior.
