This charming cottage began as a small, uninspired home with 3 tiny bedrooms, a hall bath, and a cramped powder room off the outdated and inefficient kitchen. A secondary outside door led to the laundry and storage area with an adjacent sunporch. Aside from the porch, the home lacked the space and light the new homeowners, who were down-sizing from their previous two-story home, desired. What the original home did have going for it was the single-story structure that would allow the couple to comfortably age in place, an enclosed porch that would make a perfect studio for one of the residents who is an artist, and the lovely setting near a scenic golf course.

An extensive renovation transformed the house into a very different home! An addition off the rear of the house gave the homeowners a stunning primary bedroom with a large walk-in closet; a former bedroom became a lavish en-suite bath with an adjacent conveniently located laundry area. The existing hall bath was reimagined into a stunning full bath for guests. A box window in the living space replaced the old bay window giving the room a light and airy feeling, and the existing kitchen was enlarged and updated into a beautiful and efficient space. A huge porch adjacent to the primary bedroom was added, leading to a new patio space, creating a wonderful place to relax and entertain. An additional garage was added to give the homeowners more space for cars and storage. The reimagined home became an aesthetically pleasing cottage with great curb appeal, and the well-designed spaces will perfectly serve the homeowners for years to come.
