Bought by the customer
solely for location and lot size, this house embodied all that was
unattractive about 70’s spec homes. The challenge was to turn this ugly
duckling into a swan and drag it kicking and screaming into the present.
A full-length covered front porch was added and the vertically installed
siding was replaced with horizontal lapped cedar siding. The original
fourth bedroom was directly over the foyer. By removing the floor system
of this room, it was possible to create the new 2-story foyer with
balconied overlook. The new moldings and color schemes brighten and
enhance the look of every room. As the customer is fond of saying to
visitors, "This is the newest 30-year old home you’ve ever seen."
