PURPOSE

• Satisfaction of a completely remodeled house, with a modern kitchen, open-plan dining room and bath upstairs
• Joy of a new master bedroom suite with entirely tiled limestone bathroom

• Acquisition of much more space by developing a second level and maximizing every square inch of the property, including built-in customized office nook and custom closets
• Auditory enjoyment of a full house audio-visual system

PROCESS

• All finishes completely stripped with the exception of the façade that was preserved
• All new electrical, plumbing and radiant heat systems throughout
• Installation of windows and exterior doors
• Shored house to dig out the entire lower level affording a master suite with small office and access to garage
• Horizontal addition at the rear of the house to accommodate the new connection of the double winder stairway from main level to master suite
