This 1952 home was still occupied by the original owners until our clients, who happened to be their next door neighbors, purchased the home. Many original details were intact, including lime washed fir ceilings, as well as wide fir exterior siding that was milled from trees on site that were taken down to build the house. We were so honored to work on this special home and great care was taken to update the home in a way that opened up the usability of the space, while still retaining all the magical original details of the home. The extensive renovation project included relocating the kitchen, converting an exterior porch into a primary suite with an en suite bathroom and exterior connection, opening the staircase, adding a secret passageway through the closets of their children’s rooms, replacing all the windows with clad exterior and fir interior, redesigning and rebuilding the deck, completely finishing the lower level and adding a guest room, bathroom, laundry room and rec room. The project was captured on film by Alyssa Lecompte.
