Addition with Architectural Integrity
The
lines between old and new are nearly invisible in this Lumber Boom Era
home. ?When the current owners bought this home there was a
house right next door to the north. ?During the winter of 1993 that
house burned. ??That neighbor decided not to start over in the same location,
and sold the lot to the current owners. ?The acquisition of that land
enlarged their lot enough to make this addition possible.? Throughout
the painstaking process, close attention was given to the architectural
features that give this house its character. ?The size and type
of windows was particularly important for interior and exterior
integrity. ?The porch was seamlessly enlarged, along with the north
facing bedroom. ?The extra space in the basement allowed
for the large entertainment room with the walkout to the side yard
patio. ?The elevation of the lot gives a nice private area
for family and friends. ?Gathering spaces were the focus of this
addition, with the large family room just off the open
kitchen. ?The house now has the formal areas for entertaining at a gala
event, and the casual Sunday afternoon football and friends space. ?Wander outside for a campfire and barbecue on the private patio near the extra garage floored with pavers. ??
This historic house offers great spaces that area all finished and ready for the house warming guests.The
unfinished portion of the basement gives opportunities for additional
living space or crafting rooms. ?Generous rooms, great spaces!
