2025 Best Addition – Over $250,000

With a growing family, adding both a bedroom and an additional bathroom became essential. While a first-floor expansion was considered, a second-story addition provided the opportunity to enclose the existing back porch, maximizing indoor square footage while enhancing the family’s outdoor living potential. Through a creative reconfiguration of the existing hall bath, we introduced a new hallway that leads to a spacious bedroom and two fully functional bathrooms designed to serve the entire household with ease. Strategic storage solutions were also incorporated to increase everyday functionality without compromising aesthetics. To complement the new interior space, the exterior living area was redesigned with an expanded deck and a new patio, both perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet evenings by the fire. Working within a defined budget, we focused on smart design decisions and material selections to ensure every dollar was maximized. The result is a harmonious and highly functional expansion that preserves the home’s original charm while delivering modern comfort and livability.
