As these homeowners aged, obtaining first-floor living was essential. Within the current footprint of their home, a first-floor master bed, bath, and laundry area were not feasible. They also planned to remodel their kitchen to maximize their limited space, get a bit more island seating, and add a coffee area. By creating a 20’ x 20’ addition off the rear of the home and repurposing an existing office and sunroom area, we created a primary suite with walk-in closets, a laundry area, and a full bath. The bedroom features two sizeable closets and French doors leading out to the backyard and pool. The primary bathroom contains a tiled zero-entry shower with heated floors that allows easy access if mobility lessens in the future. The laundry is located directly off the bathroom and bedroom for convenience. The addition’s exterior was finished with Hardie board siding that blends in with the original siding and white brick of the home. The kitchen layout was revamped with tall pantry storage, a more extensive range, a paneled fridge and dishwasher, a built-in microwave drawer, and a beautiful custom walnut coffee bar. This custom cabinet opens up to reveal a sink and lots of extra storage, as well as a paneled drawer refrigerator. This coordinates with the walnut island extended to seat four people for more convenient dining. Hardwood flooring was refinished throughout the first floor, with repainting rooms, trim work, window replacements, and a patio door.
